Baker Mayfield sparked a gritty Tampa Bay win over San Francisco, guiding a depleted receiving corps as Evans, Godwin and McMillan were sidelined. Mayfield’s improvisation and critical third‑down scrambles kept the offense rolling and extended drives late in the game.

Kevin Durant chimed in with a NSFW compliment, amplifying Mayfield’s rising profile beyond football after a highlight-worthy third‑quarter run. With Emeka Egbuka injured, the Bucs leaned on depth and Mayfield’s playmaking as fantasy managers weigh Week-to-Week upside in a thinning WR group.

Durant’s Texas‑OU tie adds a cross-sport twist to the moment, while the game itself underscored narrative-rich value for Mayfield and a few breakout Bucs receivers stepping into larger roles in coming weeks.
