Baker Mayfield is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers number 6 quarterback, a seasoned 7-year pro, and finished the 2026 regular season as a solid mid-range fantasy option at his position. He averaged 16.0 fantasy points per game across 17 appearances, though he currently sits outside our ranked 2026 draft board at quarterback. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
On the production side, Baker Mayfield finished 2026 with 3,693 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. He added 382 rushing yards and 1 rushing scores, which is the kind of dual-threat production that separates fantasy-viable quarterbacks from streamers.
