Outlook Baker Mayfield
Contract Standoff and Roster Turnover Cast Shadow on Productive Buccaneers Quarterback
Baker Mayfield enters his contract year in a standoff with the Buccaneers, setting a training camp extension deadline. While highly productive in Tampa Bay, his supporting cast changes after losing Mike Evans. Still, Mayfield remains confident in a healthy Chris Godwin and a receiving group featuring rookie Ted Hurst.
Our models project Mayfield to pass for 3,777 yards and 26 touchdowns, adding 327 yards on the ground. This represents a solid baseline, though below his career-best 2024 season. He remains a reliable distributor alongside tight end Cade Otton and wideout Jalen McMillan.
In draft leagues, Mayfield's ADP has settled near 136 after a brief spike into the mid-90s, reflecting market caution over his contract and target changes. At this late-round cost, our projections see him as a premier value pick who offers low-end starter capability with minimal investment risk.

Outlook Sam Darnold
Super Bowl Champion Sam Darnold Offers Elite Value as an Undervalued Late-Round Target
Sam Darnold enters his second year in Seattle as the unquestioned starting quarterback after leading the Seahawks to a Super Bowl title. Despite working under new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, Darnold has noted that the transition is smooth and the system remains very similar. With elite pass-catchers like Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at his disposal, he is fully primed to replicate his recent high-flying success.
After consecutive campaigns with over 4,200 passing yards, our models project a highly productive season with 3,825 passing yards and 26 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. While his rushing output remains modest, his high-volume passing role and efficient weapon share provide a dependable baseline in most standard formats.
His draft price has steadily climbed over the past month, with his ADP rising from 186 in early May to 155 in June. This rising trend indicates growing fantasy manager confidence. Compared to this shifting market cost, our projections view Darnold as an absolute late-round steal with legitimate top-twelve potential.
