2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mayfield revived his career in 2023 and then took it to another level last season. He finished QB4 in fantasy with career highs in completion percentage (71.4), passing yards (4,500) and TD passes (41), all of which ranked in the top three in the league. He did it a little differently than the previous season, though. Whereas Mayfield pushed the ball downfield under former offensive coordinator Dave Canales, last season he capitalized on OC Liam Coen's quick-passing game that created the second-most yards after catch in the league (2,447). The rhythm attack fueled Mayfield to a career-high 77.5 on-target percentage, which increased his completion percentage by seven points. While his average target depth shrank by more than a yard and a half to 6.8 (32nd), his YPA shot up to 7.9 (7th). Coen left for Jacksonville, but pass-game coordinator Josh Grizzard was promoted to continue the gameplan. The Bucs return all of their offensive starters from last year, including WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, although star left tackle Tristan Wirfs may miss the early part of the season after knee surgery in July. The team used its first-round pick on WR Emeka Egbuka, whose underneath/slot game seemingly fits well. Mayfield's TDs figure to drop, with his 37.2 percent red-zone TD rate (2nd) likely regressing closer to league average, but with a strong offensive line and running game keeping defenses off-balance, he's set up for another efficient season.

Three TDs in inefficient showing
Mayfield completed 17 of 32 passes for 167 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding five rushes for 39 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Mayfield was considerably less efficient than usual while facing a feisty Falcons defense in a rowdy dome environment, but after some early struggles, the veteran signal-caller was able to awaken the Buccaneers offense with a 30-yard scoring strike to rookie Emeka Egbuka. Mayfield would subsequently connect with Bucky Irving from nine yards out in the third quarter, and he capped off what turned out to be a rewarding fantasy day with a critical 25-yard touchdown toss to Egbuka with just under one minute remaining to erase a 20-17 deficit. Mayfield also finished as Tampa Bay's leading rusher, and his quick chemistry with Egbuka bodes well heading into a tough Week 2 road matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Sept. 15.

After bouncing from Cleveland to Carolina to Los Angeles, Mayfield found a home in Tampa Bay last season, resurrecting his career with personal bests for passing yards (4,044, 9th in NFL) and TD passes (28, 7th) and leading the Buccaneers to the playoffs. While his accuracy was middle of the road (72.6 on-target percentage, 19th), Mayfield did a good job pushing the ball downfield. His average target depth was 8.5 yards, fifth in the league, as 12.0 percent of his attempts went beyond 20 yards, also fifth. His eight TD passes on deep attempts tied for second most. Offensive coordinator Dave Canales earned much of the credit for Baker's turnaround, but he's now Carolina's head coach, replaced by former Kentucky OC Liam Coen, who is expected to install a Sean McVay-derived offense (he coached under McVay with the Rams) only with perhaps more pre-snap motion. That would seem to work in favor of Mayfield, who signed a three-year deal with $50 million guaranteed in March. Wide receiver Mike Evans is also back on a new contract, and WR Chris Godwin, TE Cade Otton and RB Rachaad White (64 catches) return too. Mayfield doesn't run much, but a strong arm with 550-plus attempts was enough to make him fantasy's QB10 last year. Even if he doesn't get there this year, he's a solid option for two-QB leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bucs make $30 million commitment
Mayfield had $30 million of his $40 million salary for 2026 guaranteed by the Buccaneers on Monday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The arrangement was agreed to back in the spring, but only became official this week. Mayfield originally had no guaranteed money left on his deal past 2025, but restructuring the deal will provide the veteran quarterback with some peace of mind, and it also sends a strong signal that Tampa Bay will be looking to work out an extension with him after the current campaign. Without one, Mayfield will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season.
