Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 29 of 33 pass attempts for 379 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also took one sack and rushed for 15 yards. Mayfield played clean, turnover-free football while maintaining a terrific 87.9 percent completion rate and leading his Bucs to a win. The 30-year-old has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback once again this season, posting 18+ fantasy points in all five games so far, as well as 23+ fantasy points in three of five. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues ahead of next week's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee, biceps) has been a bit banged up heading into the Week 5 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. He missed practice to begin the week, but Mayfield was back as a full participant on Thursday. That being said, Mayfield is ready to go for this Week 5 matchup in Seattle. The Bucs continue to lose weapons with Bucky Irving (foot) being ruled out for this game. That means, Mayfield will likely be forced to pass more this weekend. Last week, Mayfield made a season-high 40 passing attempts in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Mayfield continues to find a way to succeed despite the multiple injuries on offense. Fantasy managers can keep penciling Mayfield in as a QB1 until he proves differently.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was out there practicing with the team on Thursday, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. The former Cleveland Brown was limited all last week with a biceps injury, but his ailing knee held him out of Wednesday's session. It's excellent news that he's back out there the next day, hinting that it may have been more of a day of rest for the veteran. His participation in Friday's session will be telling of his status for Sunday's outing with the hosting Seattle Seahawks, though, as of now, it appears that Mayfield is on track to suit up. Seattle has been one of the better teams against the rush thus far, so the Bucs could be forced to air it out a bit more in Week 5, particularly with running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) trending in the wrong direction.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee, biceps) was unable to take the practice field on Wednesday. Mayfield was limited all last week due to a right biceps injury. Now, it appears Mayfield has picked up a knee injury during last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That being said, the Bucs have decided to hold Mayfield out on Wednesday. This is a bit concerning for fantasy managers, but it's probably just the Bucs being cautious with their banged up quarterback. These seem like minor issues that shouldn't cause Mayfield to miss Week 5. However, fantasy managers should check back on Thursday for another update on his status. The absence of Mayfield would likely mean Teddy Bridgewater would start against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had a questionable tag going into the Week 4 matchup against the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday due to a biceps injury, but he played through it. Mayfield was not efficient, completing 22 of his 40 pass attempts, but he managed to throw for a season-high 289 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in a 31-25 loss. He was sacked twice for a loss of 17 yards and also fumbled, but he was able to recover it. The 30-year-old ran twice for a gain of 13 yards. Mayfield's two touchdowns were both 70-plus-yard passes to rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka and running back Bucky Irving. The efficiency was not there, but all in all, it was a pretty good day for Mayfield, given the opponent and the fact that he was without top wideout Mike Evans (hamstring). He'll be on the QB1/2 borderline again in Week 5 against the 3-1 Seattle Seahawks.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (bicep) and left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee) are expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Both players are listed as questionable. Mayfield has looked great through three games, totaling six touchdowns and zero interceptions while ranking as the overall QB10. His protection has taken a step back this year due to offensive line injuries, but he'll get a major reinforcement this week with Wirfs back in the mix. Wirfs missed the first three games of the season but could return to play every offensive snap in Week 4. His presence is key as the Buccaneers work to protect Mayfield's blindside.
Sep 27, 2025 9:49 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (right biceps) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's heavyweight battle with the defending champion Eagles, according to head coach Todd Bowles. However, Bowles told reporters during his Friday press conference that Mayfield, Chris Godwin (ankle), and Tristan Wirfs (knee) are all trending in the right direction for Week 4. While the Buccaneers have yet to release their final injury report of the week, Mayfield was seen throwing before Friday's practice, and all signs indicate that he will be available on Sunday. Mayfield's 6-to-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio through three weeks trails only two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, and his trademark grittiness has defined the team's identity on their way to a 3-0 start. With Mike Evans (hamstring) already ruled out for Sunday, look for Mayfield to build upon his quickly established rapport with rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka.
Sep 26, 2025 2:38 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (biceps) resumed throwing the football before practice on Friday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Mayfield has been limited in practice this week with a biceps injury in his right arm. The 30-year-old veteran is one of the toughest players in the league and is expected to be active in a Week 4 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it's fair to wonder if he'll be limited in what he can do down the field on Sunday. He was seen wearing a sleeve on his right throwing arm on Thursday. In addition to potentially not being 100 percent this weekend, Mayfield will be without top receiver Mike Evans, who is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3. In a less-than-ideal matchup against Philly, Mayfield should be viewed as a shaky QB streamer this week in fantasy.
Sep 26, 2025 12:24 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (biceps) practiced again on Thursday with a sleeve on his arm, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Mayfield seems to be throwing fine and should be good to go for the Week 4 game on Sunday against the 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles. Mayfield was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and could have the same designation on Thursday, but he's expected to play this weekend as the Bucs look to go 4-0. The 30-year-old will not have top wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) available for at least a couple of weeks, but he could be getting receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) back for the first time this year. Mayfield has yet to go over 233 passing yards through three weeks in 2025, but he does have six touchdowns and no interceptions. He'll be on the QB1/2 borderline against Philly in fantasy.
Sep 25, 2025 12:20 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (arm) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Mayfield appears to be dealing with an issue with his throwing arm, but fantasy managers shouldn't panic. The Bucs are likely just being cautious early in the week. Barring any setbacks, Mayfield will be out there for the Week 4 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The loss of Mike Evans (hamstring) does hurt this offense, but hopefully the Bucs will get Chris Godwin (ankle) back this weekend. Mayfield has thrown for over 600 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions this season. He'll find a way to get the job done, so keep him as a QB1.
Sep 24, 2025 10:02 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield wasn't outstanding on Sunday in Week 3 against the visiting New York Jets, but he did enough to lead the team to a 3-0 start in 2025. Mayfield went 19-for-29 passing for 233 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in the 29-27 win. He added four carries for 44 rushing yards and was sacked once for a loss of eight yards. The 30-year-old's touchdown pass was a five-yard strike to veteran receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) in the second quarter. Mayfield could be getting Chris Godwin (ankle) back in Week 4 against the 3-0 Philadelphia Eagles, but he could be without Evans, who injured his hamstring in the second half and did not return. He has thrown six touchdowns and no interceptions through three weeks and will remain a decent QB streamer in fantasy, but next week won't be an ideal matchup against Philly.
Sep 21, 2025 10:29 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (toe, foot) has been cleared to suit up for the Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets. The Bucs offensive line has been banged up, but that hasn't stopped Mayfield from making an impact on the field. So far this season, Mayfield has thrown for 382 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions in two games. He'll now head into a matchup against a Jets defense that had no answers for the Buffalo Bills last week. As already mentioned, the Bucs are banged up on the o-line, but also at wide receiver as well. This offense will be without Chris Godwin (ankle), Jalen McMillan (neck), and Emeka Egbuka (hip, groin) is questionable to play. That being said, Mayfield could see his value drop if Egbuka is unable to suit up. For now, fantasy managers should keep Mayfield in the QB1 mix for this game.
Sep 19, 2025 8:51 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is on track to start in Week 3 against the New York Jets. Mayfield appeared shaken up during Monday night's win over the Houston Texans but avoided any structural damage and did not require further testing. While he may scale back practice reps on the short week, there are no concerns about his availability for Sunday. With elite weapons at his disposal and improved consistency as a passer, Mayfield remains firmly in the QB1 mix for fantasy managers.
Sep 17, 2025 10:23 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 25 of 38 passes for 215 yards and threw two touchdowns while adding 33 yards on three rushes in a 20-19 win against the Texans. Mayfield was resilient in this game, with Tampa Bay down both of their starting tackles against a vaunted Houston front that applied a ton of pressure on him. He took four sacks overall, but was able to make enough plays at the end of the game. Mayfield had an iconic scramble on a 4th and 10 play to extend the Buccaneers' final drive, which ultimately ended with a Rachaad White goal-line touchdown with six seconds remaining to win the game. The 30-year-old has added more value with his legs last season and into this season so far, rushing for 72 yards on eight carries. He has the 10th most rushing since the start of last season with 450, second most passing touchdowns with 46, and his 5,332 combined passing and rushing yards only trails Lamar Jackson since the start of last season. Mayfield is one of the more consistent performers in fantasy at quarterback and should be fired up again next week against the Jets.
Sep 16, 2025 12:47 AM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield wasn't excellent in the season opener, but he got the job done. Mayfield completed 17-of-32 passing attempts for 176 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. The passing yardage was low for Mayfield, but he is missing two of his wide receivers in Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) right now. The three scores gave fantasy managers a good game, so they don't have much to complain about. The Bucs should continue being a pass-heavy offense which should make Mayfield a viable weekly option. Mayfield should once again remain in the mid-range QB1 territory for the upcoming Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 2.
Sep 12, 2025 5:42 PM EST
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 17 of his 32 pass attempts for 167 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He also led the team with 39 rushing yards. Although Mayfield posted an abnormally low yardage total and low completion percentage, he excelled otherwise, playing turnover-free football and taking just one sack. All in all, it was a very rewarding day for his fantasy managers, and it even culminated in a three-point Buccaneers victory. Mayfield should continue to rank as a mid-range QB1 heading into next week's contest against the Houston Texans.
Sep 7, 2025 7:46 PM EST
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.
Sep 5, 2025 8:20 PM EST
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.
Aug 30, 2025 10:38 AM EST
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.
Aug 20, 2025 10:28 AM EST
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.
