Fantasy Football Player Notes

Baker Mayfield was at the height of his powers in 2024, establishing new career highs in passing yardage (4,500), touchdown passes (41), completion percentage (71.4%), yards per attempt (7.9) and rushing yardage (378). Mayfield tied Joe Burrow for QB3 in both total fantasy scoring and fantasy points per game (22.5) behind only Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. It's probably wise to expect some statistical regression from Mayfield, and it's possible the Buccaneers' offense is less effective this year, with 2024 offensive coordinator Liam Coen having left to take the Jacksonville head coaching job, and the relatively inexperienced Josh Grizzard taking over at OC. But Mayfield has clearly turned a corner in his career, he has a strong offensive line in front of him, and he has a deep, talented group of pass catchers that includes WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan and Emeka Egbuka.
