FantasyPros Articles on Baker Mayfield
From the article
In a contract year, I'm expecting a big bounce-back season from Mayfield if he can stay healthy all season...Mayfield should have a strong Week 1 performance...we need to throw every Cincy defensive statistic in the trash from 2025.
STACKED’s take
Mayfield poised for bounce-back in contract year despite 2025 injuries and regression.
Baker Mayfield is expected to bounce back in 2026 after finishing as QB17 in fantasy points per game in 2025 following a QB4 season in 2024. Despite injuries to his arm, shoulder, and MCL/PCL in 2025 that contributed to 24th-ranked yards per attempt and 35th-ranked adjusted completion rate among 38 qualifying quarterbacks, the source expects a strong Week 1 performance in a contract year. Cincinnati's completely overhauled defense (adding Dexter Lawrence, Jonathan Allen, Boye Mafe, Cashius Howell, Kyle Dugger, Bryan Cook) means prior-year defensive statistics are unreliable; Mayfield will be forced to throw frequently to keep pace with Cincinnati's high-powered offense.
