Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield looks to build upon his unbelievable performance from 2024. Last season, Mayfield threw for 4,500 passing yards with 41 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 17 games with the Bucs. The 30-year-old will look to keep the good times rolling against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. The Bucs are going to be playing shorthanded at wide receiver with both Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) sidelined. However, Mike Evans is one of the most consistent wideouts in the league. The Bucs also have Emeka Egbuka who figures to slot right alongside Evans as the No. 2 option. There were games last season that Mayfield didn't have Godwin or Evans and still posted QB1 numbers. Fantasy managers need to keep rolling with Mayfield who should be valued as a top 7-8 quarterback coming into the season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield appears to be in line for a new contract this offseason, according to a report from The Athletic's Jeff Howe. The Buccaneers signed Mayfield to what is now viewed as a discounted three-year, $100 million deal in March 2024. Mayfield responded by setting career-high marks in completions (407), passing yards (4,500), and touchdowns (41), and led the Buccaneers to an NFC South title. He also ran for more yards (378) than ever before in his career. Mayfield and the Tampa Bay front office have made it clear they want to continue this relationship long-term, so it should come as no surprise to see Mayfield earn a raise before entering the final year of his current contract. Mayfield ranks as RotoBaller's QB8 in redraft leagues this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Baker Mayfield will not play in the team's final preseason game against the Bills. Instead, the Buccaneers will lean on Teddy Bridgewater and Kyle Trask to lead the offense in the team's final tune-up. After losing wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) to injury in a gruesome-looking fall in their latest preseason game, it is unlikely the team will play any of their starters. Mayfield finished 2024 as a top-five fantasy quarterback in his lone year with Liam Coen as offensive coordinator. Josh Grizzard steps into the coordinator role this year, and the expectation is that the Buccaneers should once again field a high-powered unit. Currently, RotoBaller's QB8, there is some concern that Mayfield is being drafted near his ceiling. With McMillan expected to start the season on injured reserve and veteran Chris Godwin (ankle) likely headed for the PUP list, it wouldn't be unexpected to see the Buccaneers' offense start slowly before eventually rounding into form.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Todd Bowles said Mayfield's strong performance in Friday's practice made additional reps this weekend unnecessary. The veteran signal-caller is coming off a career year, finishing as the QB4 in fantasy football last season. With Chris Godwin returning to full health alongside Mike Evans, Mayfield has a strong supporting cast to build on his 2024 success. Fantasy managers should view him as a solid mid-round quarterback option and a value pick once the elite tier of signal-callers is off the board.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield played so well in the joint practice against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, Aug. 14, that he will not play in the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 16, according to head coach Todd Bowles.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield is coming off a year when he finished third in passing yards and second in touchdown passes, and it sounds like he is ready to pick up where he left of. With plenty of weapons at his disposal, another QB1 campaign should be on tap for Mayfield.

From TheHuddle

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that with the exception of receiver Mike Evans and defender Lavonte David, every starter will play in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mayfield will probably only play for a series or two this weekend before giving way to veteran Teddy Bridgewater. The 30-year-old has blossomed the last two years in Tampa and made back-to-back Pro Bowls. He threw for a career-high 4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns and a league-high 16 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts in his second year with the team last year. While it will certainly be tough for Mayfield to match those numbers in another year of a new offensive coordinator, his weapons remain largely unchained in what should once again be a pass-happy offense. On volume alone, Mayfield figures to be in the low-end QB1 picture.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (hand) participated in practice Tuesday, Aug. 5.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield missed a few practices because of the injury but should be fine moving forward. He was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the NFL last season and will have plenty of pass catchers to work with again this season. He can be a No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) is back at training camp practice on Tuesday after missing two days last week with a hand contusion that he suffered when he hit a teammate's helmet on a follow-through. Mayfield's injury was never considered serious and he'll be ready to go when the regular season kicks off in early September. The 30-year-old former first overall pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2018 out of Oklahoma has been a Pro Bowler each of the last two seasons in Tampa as the starter, but he'll have a new offensive coordinator yet again in 2025. He threw for a career-high 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns last year while also leading the league with 16 interceptions. The Bucs should continue to be a pass-happy offense, and Mayfield has lots of weapons. For the expected volume alone, Mayfield has low-end QB1 value in fantasy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) got another day off at training camp on Saturday due to his sore throwing hand, but head coach Todd Bowles said that Mayfield will return to practice next week. Mayfield injured his right hand during practice on Thursday when it hit a teammate on a follow-through. The 30-year-old thankfully avoided a serious injury, but the Bucs will give him a little time off this weekend to rest. Mayfield should be back on the field next week and ready to go for the start of the 2025 season in early September. Despite having to work with a new offensive coordinator for yet another season, Mayfield was a Pro Bowler for the second straight season in 2024 and had a career-high 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns, but he also led the league with 16 picks. Tampa's offense remains largely intact, and while fantasy managers can't expect another 40-TD season, Mayfield is at least in the low-end QB1 conversation.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (hand) is out of practice Friday, Aug. 1, due to a contusion on his right hand. Scans were negative, and he's day to day.

Fantasy Spin: Mayfield surprised everyone and finished as the QB3 in fantasy last year. Needless to say, he's one of the more glaring regression candidates for 2025. He's being taken as the seventh QB in a lot of leagues, and if he slips much further than that, he could start to have some upside.
