FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast on Baker Mayfield

Mayfield playing without deal; source moving him up in rankings for motivation.

Expected to play without a deal in 2026, which is a positive indicator for his fantasy performance. Source states: 'you always want to bet on Mayfield when he has a fire under his bat... This is when he always plays his best ball.' Source is moving him up in fantasy rankings specifically because playing without a contract will motivate him to prove doubters wrong, which is his pattern. This doesn't necessarily translate to team wins for the Buccaneers, but Mayfield individually should perform at a higher level.
