Mayfield was banged up for much of last season, and so was his supporting cast, which helps explain why Mayfield went from QB3 in fantasy points per game in 2024 to QB19 last season.

Mayfield's declining efficiency and fourth new playcaller make him a fade at 31.

Mayfield was banged up for much of last season, and so was his supporting cast, which helps explain why he went from QB3 in fantasy points per game in 2024 to QB19 last season. Improved health in 2026 might not lead to a full rebound. His completion percentage fell from 71.4% in 2024 to 63.2% in 2025, and he went from 7.9 yards per pass attempt in 2024 to 6.8 in 2025. While Mayfield has averaged better than 20 rushing yards per game over the last two seasons, before 2024 he had never averaged more than 10.3 rushing yards per game in any season. Mike Evans is no longer with the Buccaneers, having signed with the 49ers. Mayfield will be working with his fourth playcaller in as many seasons, new Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. QB cost-cutters might want to consider options other than the 31-year-old Mayfield.
