Baker Mayfield
2025 Season Outlooks
Mayfield had a standout campaign in 2024, and he's once again worth drafting as a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback this season with a mid-round pick in one-quarterback leagues. In Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, Mayfield should be drafted in Round 2. Last season, Mayfield set career highs in passing yards (4,500), touchdowns (41), and rushing yards (378). He also rushed for three touchdowns and finished with 16 interceptions and two fumbles. Mayfield had a great offseason as well with Chris Godwin returning to Tampa Bay as a free agent, and the Buccaneers spent a first-round pick on receiver Emeka Egbuka. Now, Liam Coen left as the offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay to be Jacksonville's head coach, but he was replaced by the Buccaneers' passing game coordinator, Josh Grizzard, so hopefully things stay status quo for Mayfield. Given the strength of his receiving corps -- don't forget about Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton -- and the way he performed in 2024, Mayfield has top-five upside this season and should be drafted soon after the top six quarterbacks of Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes come off the board.
Mayfield may have enjoyed his career renaissance in 2023, but he had his fantasy breakout in 2024. After finishing 18th or worse in fantasy PPG during each of his first six NFL seasons, Mayfield leapt to fourth in 2024. He finished no lower than fifth in pass attempts, completions, yards and TDs, while also easily posting a career high in rush yards. Mayfield completed 71% of his passes (third best) despite missing Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for chunks of the season, and he may be in even better shape in 2025 with Evans back, Godwin hopefully healthy and youngsters Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan also in the mix. Mayfield benefits from a Bucs offense that has scored a league-high 76.6% of its TDs through the air since Todd Bowles became head coach in 2022. With consecutive seasons of good play under his belt, the 30-year-old is well positioned for another solid QB1 fantasy campaign.
