August 29, 2024
Mayfield (ankle) was let go from the Giants' injured reserve after reaching an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Mayfield was waived with an injury designation and subsequently reverted to IR on Wednesday due to an ankle injury he sustained in the Giants' preseason finale against the Jets on Saturday. The 2021 third-round pick will now be able to sign with a team once he's fully healthy. Mayfield started in 16 games in his rookie season with the Falcons, but he appeared in just three contests in 2023 with the Giants.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Mayfield, a 2021 third-round pick, was the starting left guard as a rookie, but he missed all of 2022 with a back injury. The Michigan product is back to full strength this offseason, but he's slated to be a versatile backup in 2023.
Mayfield, a 2021 third-round pick, started 16 games at left guard as a rookie and figures to be a core part of Atlanta's offensive line moving forward. However, he may operate as the top backup with Elijah Wilkinson earning the majority of first-team reps during training camp.
Mayfield was selected in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft so it's likely he will see the field sooner rather than later. While he was an offensive tackle in college, his smaller reach makes him much more likely to be a guard at the next level. With Chris Lindstrom likely occupying the right guard spot for the foreseeable future, Mayfield should challenge Matt Gono for playing time. It may be tough for the rookie to see a starting role this season, but his draft status almost assures the 21-year-old will be a key reserve for the Falcons.
