If you're looking for a quarterback for the next two weeks, look no further than Baker Mayfield. His results in fantasy have left something to be desired, certainly. But I promise you -- he is good at football.

Next week, he'll have a perfect opportunity to prove it against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he'll get another golden opportunity the following week against the decimated Atlanta Falcons' defense. He's already showcased a decent floor for fantasy -- he has finished with 14 or more points in each game he's started. For the next two weeks, we should get a glimpse of his ceiling.

The Chiefs are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, and the Falcons are giving up the second-most. Both teams also have top-tier offenses, which means the games themselves could easily turn into shootouts. The Browns are also returning home after two consecutive road games.

Mayfield is a solid quarterback option for the next two weeks, especially with 10 teams taking their byes during that period of time.
