Baker Mayfield's Best Fantasy Seasons

What were Baker Mayfield's best fantasy seasons?

Each row below sorts Mayfield's recorded seasons by total points and shows club, appearances, average scoring, and top single-game output for that year.

| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points per game | Best week | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Baker Mayfield | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 17 | 364 | 21 | 35 | | 2 | Baker Mayfield | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 17 | 270 | 16 | 29 | | 3 | Baker Mayfield | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 17 | 268 | 16 | 25 | | 4 | Baker Mayfield | Cleveland Browns | 16 | 247 | 15 | 30 | | 5 | Baker Mayfield | Cleveland Browns | 16 | 236 | 15 | 26 | | 6 | Baker Mayfield | Cleveland Browns | 16 | 227 | 14 | 24 |

How far ahead was the 2024 season?

The gap between the top spot and second place is the defining feature of this record. Mayfield's 2024 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers totaled 364 points, while the next-best year on his record, 2023 with the same franchise, sits at 270. The ordering never gets close again at the top: no other season on the list reaches what 2023 produced, so that first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers holds the runner-up position outright.

The per-game averages follow the same order as the totals. The 2024 season averaged 21 points per game; every other year sits at 16 or below. That consistency matters for readers weighing weekly production rather than raw totals, because it says 2024 was not merely a longer season — it was a better one on a per-start basis, week after week.

The best-week column reinforces the same verdict. The 35-point week from 2024 is the highest single-game figure anywhere in this record, ahead of the 30-point best week from his 2020 season with the Cleveland Browns.

What do the Tampa Bay Buccaneers years show?

The three seasons Mayfield played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers occupy the top three spots on this list. The 2023 and 2025 seasons are nearly inseparable: 270 points against 268, matching 16-point per-game averages, both across 17 games. The difference between them shows up only in the best-week column, where 2023 reached 29 and 2025 peaked at 25.

That pairing makes 2025 the strongest third-place season any quarterback's record could carry, while also showing how repeatable Mayfield's production became in that offense. Two of his three seasons there landed within two points of each other in total scoring, and both sit comfortably ahead of anything he did in any Cleveland Browns year.

How do the Cleveland Browns seasons compare?

The three Cleveland Browns seasons fill positions four through six, and they ladder down in an orderly way: 247 points in 2020, 236 in 2018, and 227 in 2019. Each of those years ran 16 games, and the per-game averages step from 15 to 15 to 14.

The 2020 season is the best of the Cleveland group and the closest thing this record has to a challenger to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers years, but it still trails all three of them in total points. Its 30-point best week, however, outshines the best single week from both the 2023 and 2025 seasons, which shows his peak weeks in Cleveland could match anything from his later years even when his season totals could not.

What does this record say about drafting Mayfield?

For fantasy managers reading this history, the takeaway is a split record: three seasons between 227 and 247 points, then a jump to three straight years of 268 or more. The 2024 season is the outlier even within the strong stretch, standing above the rest by a wide margin in both total points and per-game scoring.

A draft decision built on this record is really a question about which version a manager expects: the 14-to-15 point per game producer from the Cleveland years, or the 16-to-21 point per game producer the Tampa Bay Buccaneers seasons show. The record itself argues for the higher set of numbers, because it is the more recent and the more repeated half of his career scoring.
