Baker MayfieldQBTB

Mayfield took a huge step back in efficiency last season, finishing as QB4 the year before but QB19 last year. Despite having great wide receivers (Chris Godwin, Mecole Hardman, Jaylen McMillan, Ted Erse) and a new pass-catching RB in Kenneth Gainwell, the source notes that at age 31 he will not generate much rushing production and his 'valleys are a little bit too deep' to prefer him over Malik Willis.
