Reigning MVP Offers Elite Late-Round Value Behind High-Powered Passing Attack
Coming off a spectacular MVP-winning campaign where he threw for 5,284 yards and 52 touchdowns, the veteran signal-caller returns to lead an explosive Los Angeles offense. Backed by a newly signed contract extension, his role as the starting quarterback remains entirely secure despite the Rams drafting Ty Simpson in the first round.
He is blessed with arguably the league's most dangerous receiving duo in Puka Nacua and veteran Davante Adams, alongside lead running back Kyren Williams. This elite supporting cast keeps his weekly fantasy ceiling incredibly high, even as he enters his age-38 season with limited rushing upside.
Our projections expect a slight regression to 4,140 passing yards and 32 touchdowns, totaling 275.5 fantasy points. After briefly fluctuating in June, his ADP has stabilized around 102. At this late-round draft cost in 1.0 PPR leagues, we view him as an outstanding value play for managers utilizing a late-round quarterback strategy.

Outlook Baker Mayfield
Late-Round Value Anchor Poised for Another Highly Productive Campaign in Tampa Bay
Baker Mayfield enters the season as the clear starting quarterback for Tampa Bay, looking to build on a gritty 2025 campaign where he threw for 3,734 yards and 27 touchdowns despite playing through multiple knee and shoulder injuries. Although the offense will miss veteran Mike Evans, our models project Mayfield to remain highly productive with Chris Godwin Jr. and Jalen McMillan leading a deep receiving corps.
His ADP has remained remarkably stable around the late-round quarterback tier at pick 131, presenting a massive value opportunity in 1.0 PPR leagues. Heading into a contract year with extension talks currently stalled, Mayfield has plenty of financial incentive to repeat his high-volume passing success.
We project Mayfield to finish with 3,857 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, along with 312 yards on the ground. Rosterable in 80% of leagues, he offers a high-floor QB2 option with low-end QB1 upside if his efficiency matches his career-best 2024 season.
