The source confirms Baker Mayfield is already on their roster and recommends him as a viable quarterback target in drafts, especially if the drafter is concerned about the position and can pair him with Chris Godwin.PositiveValueMay 9, 2026
Mayfield is part of the source's core QB window where they are ahead on ADP. The source notes that Mayfield historically exemplifies the pattern of late-round QBs being drafted cheaply before spiking in value: "Baker used to be really cheap, then he spikes." The source has Mayfield a little bit ahead of ADP in their 2026 rankings.NegativeMatchupNov 7, 2025
Baker Mayfield has completed only 43% of his passes against man coverage this season—worse than all but Cam Ward and with lower yards per pass than Carson Wentz; the Patriots play heavy man coverage and are expected to employ it in Week 10, creating a significant matchup concern despite his MVP-talk narrative. However, he showed aggression against the blitz last week with a 12.3 ADOT and positive EPA with a 44% success rate, suggesting he can attack downfield in blitz-heavy matchups. The Patriots' strong run defense (fifth in rushing DVOA, third in EPA, third in success rate) will likely force high dropback volume, which could benefit Mayfield if he can maintain efficiency or at least volume.
