Baker Mayfield Week 5 Outlook - Buccaneers at Seahawks

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 2nd 2025, 1:05pm EDT

Baker Mayfield continues to defy the regression demon as the QB8 in fantasy points per game. He has at least 17.7 fantasy points per game in every game this season. He is averaging a career high 32.3 rushing yards per game with at least 33 rushing yards in three of four games. Mayfield is sixth-best in scrambles per game. As a passer, he is living his best Jameis Winston life, ranking third best in passing touchdowns (tied) and second in hero throw rate, but he's also 25th in highly accurate throw rate, 23rd in catchable throw rate, and tenth in off-target rate. He'll have his hands full with the Seattle pass defense this week, which has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per attempt, the fourth-lowest passer rating, and the tenth-lowest CPOE. Seattle has given up the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
