Fantasy Impact:
Mayfield has been competing with the incumbent QB Sam Darnold, but as Week 2 of the preseason approaches, the expectation is Mayfield will start in the regular season. The Panthers made a move to pick up Mayfield in the offseason and he is currently going as the QB25 according to FantasyPros average draft position. Mayfield could potentially revive his career in a new destination with weapons like WR DJ Moore and RB Christian McCaffrey at his disposal.
