2024 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing from Cleveland to Carolina to Los Angeles, Mayfield found a home in Tampa Bay last season, resurrecting his career with personal bests for passing yards (4,044, 9th in NFL) and TD passes (28, 7th) and leading the Buccaneers to the playoffs. While his accuracy was middle of the road (72.6 on-target percentage, 19th), Mayfield did a good job pushing the ball downfield. His average target depth was 8.5 yards, fifth in the league, as 12.0 percent of his attempts went beyond 20 yards, also fifth. His eight TD passes on deep attempts tied for second most. Offensive coordinator Dave Canales earned much of the credit for Baker's turnaround, but he's now Carolina's head coach, replaced by former Kentucky OC Liam Coen, who is expected to install a Sean McVay-derived offense (he coached under McVay with the Rams) only with perhaps more pre-snap motion. That would seem to work in favor of Mayfield, who signed a three-year deal with $50 million guaranteed in March. Wide receiver Mike Evans is also back on a new contract, and WR Chris Godwin, TE Cade Otton and RB Rachaad White (64 catches) return too. Mayfield doesn't run much, but a strong arm with 550-plus attempts was enough to make him fantasy's QB10 last year. Even if he doesn't get there this year, he's a solid option for two-QB leagues.

Makes progress learning offense
Mayfield made significant progress in picking up the intricacies of new coordinator Liam Coen's offense throughout the offseason, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. "There's a lot fewer mistakes and 'M.E.'s," said head coach Todd Bowles. "He has a lot more audibles on his plate than he did in the past and he's getting them down very [well]."
ANALYSIS
Bowles' comments came in the midst of the mandatory minicamp the Buccaneers held earlier in June, following a particularly productive penultimate practice of the offseason in which Mayfield spread the ball around effectively. Mayfield has had plenty of opportunity to progressively get a handle on the offensive system, as he was also part of 10 voluntary OTA practices before minicamp. While there figures to be some additional growing pains with the offense, there will be multiple weeks of training camp and preseason games for Mayfield and a top quartet of incumbent pass catchers in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Trey Palmer and Cade Otton to continue building chemistry within it.

Mayfield's 2022 season highlight came three days after the Panthers waived him in December when he rallied the Rams to victory in a Thursday night game. He later completed 24 of 28 passes in a blowout win of Denver in Week 16, but he struggled the final two weeks in an injury-riddled offense and ultimately had little to show for another season that went nowhere. He finished bottom five of 33 qualified QBs in a slew of categories, including completion percentage (60.0), YPA (6.0), TD rate (3.0 percent) and on-target percentage (67.5). The 28-year-old signed with Tampa Bay in March to compete with Kyle Trask for the starting job. Coach Todd Bowles named Mayfield as the Week 1 starter after the second week of preseason action, opting for the known and mediocre over an inexperienced second-round pick. The Bucs have a decent (though aging) group of pass catchers to target and hired first-time offensive coordinator Dave Canales, but Mayfield's track record suggests he'll likely hold the group back.
