Baker Mayfield's Season-Long Prop Outlook After Reportedly Being Named Panthers' Starting Quarterback

The Carolina Panthers reportedly are expected to name Baker Mayfield as their starting quarterback for the 2022 NFL season.

This shouldn't come as a major surprise, as the Panthers traded for Mayfield this offseason after a rough 2021 campaign with Sam Darnold, Cam Newton and P.J. Walker sharing the quarterback duties.

Mayfield dealt with a major shoulder injury last season, but he did lead the Cleveland Browns to the playoffs in the 2020 season. The Panthers are currently +15000 at WynnBET Sportsbook to win the Super Bowl, and they have a win total projection of 6.5 games (Over +110/Under -120).

If you're not confident in the Panthers but think Mayfield has a good year, you can always take a look at some of his season-long props. Now that he's expected to be named the starter, Mayfield has a little more value in this props, as you don't have to worry about him losing the job in camp.

Baker Mayfield's Season-Long Player Props

Baker Mayfield Passing Touchdowns Prop

• DraftKings: 22.5 (Over +105/Under -125)
• FanDuel: 21.5 (Over -108/Under -118)
• BetMGM: 22.5 (Over -125/Under -105)
• Caesars: 21.5 (Over -115/Under -115)
• PointsBet: 22.5 (Over +110/Under -140)

If Mayfield holds the starting job for the entire season, there may be value in his passing touchdowns prop, as he's thrown 22 or more scores in three of his four NFL seasons. The only season that he missed was last season, when he played in just 14 games. Grabbing the OVER 21.5 at FanDuel at -108 odds is a solid value.

Baker Mayfield Passing Yards Prop

• DK: 3,700.5 (Over -110/Under -110)
• FD: 3,600.5 (Over -112/Under -112)
• BetMGM: 3599.5 (Over -115/Under -115)
• Caesars: 3700.5 (Over -115/Under -115)
• PointsBet: 3700.5 (Over -115/Under -115)

This one is going to depend a lot on how much the Panthers are willing to throw the ball, as they may decided to slow games down and feed Christian McCaffrey in 2022. Mayfield has cleared 3600 yards twice in four seasons.

Baker Mayfield Interceptions Prop

• DraftKings: 13.5 (Over -110/Under -110)
• FanDuel: 14.5 (Over -112/Under -112)
• BetMGM: 13.5 (Over -115/Under -115)

Mayfield threw 13 picks in 14 games last season, but bettors should be wary about taking the OVER. If Mayfield throws that many picks again, there's a chance Carolina and head coach Matt Rhule could pull the plug and go back to Sam Darnold, as Rhule could be coaching for his job this season.
