Our models project Mayfield for 3,600 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, and 325 rushing yards, totaling 272.0 fantasy points. While not an explosive runner, his red-zone efficiency and ability to distribute to multiple weapons support a dependable baseline in standard formats.

Outlook Sam Darnold
Undervalued Starting Quarterback Poised to Outperform Depressed Draft Cost
Sam Darnold enters the 2026 campaign firmly established as Seattle's starting quarterback after passing for 4,292 yards and 27 touchdowns last season. Operating alongside proven pass catchers Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed, Darnold commands a passing attack with ample perimeter weapons.
