Outlook Baker Mayfield
Undervalued Late-Round QB2 with Proven Passing Floor
Baker Mayfield enters the season firmly established as Tampa Bay's starting quarterback with dependable continuity across the passing attack. Backed by proven target Chris Godwin Jr. and young playmaker Emeka Egbuka, Mayfield retains the necessary surrounding cast to maintain consistent weekly fantasy utility.
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.
Market sentiment has grown noticeably cold, as his ADP tumbled from pick 124 in early August down to 176. With his roster rate dipping to 65%, this sliding draft cost turns Mayfield into a quality late-round value and reliable QB2 for managers waiting on the position.

Outlook Justin Herbert
Rejuvenated Scheme and Rushing Mobility Present Major Draft Value
Justin Herbert enters 2026 spearheading an evolved Chargers attack under offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and head coach Jim Harbaugh. While Los Angeles lost starting center Tyler Biadasz for the season, Herbert has shown sharp preseason rhythm and deep chemistry with targets like Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.
Our projections expect a well-rounded campaign, estimating 3,800 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and nearly 400 rushing yards. After producing a career-high 498 rushing yards in 2025, his enhanced mobility elevates his weekly floor within an efficient passing structure.
Draft market sentiment has cooled unexpectedly, with Herbert's ADP sliding from the mid-80s down past pick 125 over the last month. Our models view this shifting price as a prime value opportunity in 1.0 PPR formats, offering starting caliber production at a mid-to-late round discount.
