Baker MayfieldQBTB
Mayfield is projected as QB19 for 2026. Coming off a strong 2024 season (4,500 yards, 41 TDs), he started 2025 hot, connecting on multiple TD passes in 5 of 6 games to start the season, including a 379-yard, 3-TD masterpiece against the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seahawks in a 38-35 win in Seattle, hitting 29 of 33 passes. Even a return to his 2023 debut season with the Bucs (4,044 passing yards, 28 TDs) would be a welcomed sight at ADP 118.8. However, an injury log that rivaled Lamar Jackson's derailed his 2025 season, and while playing through injuries, his production fell drastically. In superflex leagues, he was benched in favor of Sam Darnold several weeks when the Seattle QB ended up the better performer.
