Panthers Haven't Discussed Extension With Baker Mayfield
3 years agoCarolina Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer said on Tuesday that the team hasn't had any talks with quarterback Baker Mayfield and his representation about a contract extension. "Our whole focus was bringing Baker in to compete with Sam Darnold," Fitterer said. "We'll take it up to training camp. That's as far as we're going to take it and we'll let it play out throughout the season." If Mayfield proves he's healthy after having surgery on his left shoulder, wins the starting job over Darnold and plays well in 2022, the Panthers could then decide to talk an extension with the former No. 1 overall pick. The 27-year-old will be in an open competition with Darnold in training camp, but unless he falls flat, the expectation is that Mayfield will be Carolina's Week 1 starter under center.

Baker Mayfield Has Low Passing Volume In Loss
3 months agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 15 of 18 pass attempts for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. He also took one sack and rushed for 23 yards. It was an uncharacteristically quiet showing for Mayfield, who hadn't completed fewer than 18 passes since Week 2 of the regular season. With that said, fantasy managers and bettors have to be pleased with his high completion rate and overall clean performance as he didn't turn the ball over. Mayfield finished the 2024 campaign with the NFC's most passing touchdowns, but he also led the whole league in interceptions. His high passing output keeps him in the mid-range QB1 conversation for 2025 fantasy football.

Baker Mayfield Remains Favorable Option For Sunday
3 months agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield put together an excellent regular season that included 4,500 passing yards and over 40 passing touchdowns. Now, Mayfield looks to keep it going during Sunday's Wild-Card game against the Washington Commanders. Mayfield threw for nearly 300 yards with four touchdowns during their last meeting with Washington in Week 1. Obviously, that was a long time ago, but Mayfield has shown no signs of slowing down with multiple touchdown passes in each of his last five games. Taking Mayfield in DFS contests does come with some risk because of turnovers. Mayfield has one turnover or more in five of his last six games. Despite that, this is a plus-matchup for Mayfield which could make it worth the gamble.

Baker Mayfield Remains Elite Option For Week 18
3 months agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a stellar performance against the Carolina Panthers last week. Mayfield threw for 359 yards with five touchdowns and zero interceptions in the blowout win last weekend. The 29-year-old now looks to end his 2024-2025 regular season on a high note with a plus-matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The last meeting between these teams Mayfield threw for 325 yards with four touchdowns. The Saints are banged up on both sides of the ball and this is a must-win game for the Bucs. Fantasy managers who have championship games this weekend should consider Mayfield a QB1. Otherwise, Mayfield is probably an expensive, but reliable DFS option for this weekend.
