Outlook Caleb Williams
Madden Cover Star Poised for Another Massive Leap in Year Three
Focus on Caleb Williams' daily work with Ben Johnson and his explosive supporting cast, which features Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. After throwing for 4,542 yards and 32 touchdowns in his sophomore year, the Bears' signal-caller is primed to lead an even more efficient, high-flying offense in 2026.
Analyzing his market value, Williams' ADP has settled around 85.5, briefly spiking into the early fifth round amidst Madden cover hype before stabilizing as a premium middle-round target. In 1.0 PPR leagues, our models view this price point as an absolute steal given his elite ceiling and his quarterback-friendly ecosystem.
Although quarterbacks coach J.T. Barrett is urging him to take fewer risky deep shots, our projections expect high-volume production with 3,796 passing yards and 27 touchdowns. If he couples his elite arm with improved efficiency, he could easily smash his ADP.

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.
