Baker Mayfield

Baker Mayfield looked rejuvenated in 2023, throwing for a career-high 4,044 yards with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first season as the Buccaneers' starting quarterback. Mayfield finished QB10 in total fantasy scoring, though he was only QB18 in fantasy points per game among quarterbacks who played at least five games. The six-year veteran seemed to benefit from the tutelage of noted QB whisperer Dave Canales, who served as the Bucs' offensive coordinator last season. But Canales was named the Panthers' head coach in the offseason, and Mayfield will be working with a new offensive coordinator, Liam Coen, who was the offensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky last year. Mayfield lacks QB1 upside for fantasy but profiles as a competent QB2 and a reasonable option in superflex leagues.

The Buccaneers and QB Baker Mayfield have agreed to a three-year contract with a max value of $115M.

Fantasy Impact

Mayfield is set to receive $50M guaranteed. Mayfield led the Buccaneers to a 9-8 record in his first season with the team while completing 64.3% of his passes, with 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His return should bring continuity to the offense that also retained Mike Evans.
