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 Jaxson Dart

Dual-Threat Upside and New Weapons Fuel Year 2 Breakout Potential

Entering his second year as the starting quarterback for New York, Jaxson Dart is primed for a significant step forward under a revamped offense. Following a solid rookie campaign where he scored nine rushing touchdowns, Dart now benefits from an upgraded receiving corps featuring Odell Beckham Jr. alongside Isaiah Likely and rookie Malachi Fields, though Malik Nabers will miss the start of the season recovering from an ACL tear.

Fantasy managers are warming up to Dart's dual-threat profile, which is reflected in his climbing draft market momentum. Over the past month, his ADP has steadily risen from the low-90s to settle around 83.5, signaling growing confidence. Our projections suggest Dart's overall dual-threat output makes him a major draft-day value steal at his current market price.

With solid ownership numbers, he is increasingly viewed as a high-upside option. The offense is expected to be versatile, and our models project him for 23 passing touchdowns, making him a premier late-round target with legitimate top-tier upside.
