We're talking 2023 projections for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in San Francisco 49ers on RotoViz Fantasy Football Show.

I'm Dave Kaben, one of the owners at RotoViz.

I will be recording this projections episode solo, and I think that we will cover some interesting teams here

in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the San Francisco 49ers.

If you have not listened to any of our projections series yet, go back, find the episodes related to it it if you look for the one that related to

Washington Tennessee you'll get a high level overview of what goes into the projection process

at RotoViz how I put these together and some more background on our philosophy also recorded

an episode that talks about the relationship between a team's success

on the field and the play volume that it runs which is a key component of the projection process

okay let's start off here with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, one of the things that makes this

team very challenging this year is the transition from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield.

We don't know if Todd Bulls and company are going to do some things that are radically different than what

they did when they had Tom Brady there. We're not sure if we could see Baker Mayfield return

to the type of producer that he was back in the 2019 type of time frame. Or if we're going to see

a Baker Mayfield that comes out, that's pretty flat.

Now, to his credit, he did provide a little bit of a spark for the Rams in the games

that he got into down the stretch last year.

Still, though, we saw him in 2022 across 12 games, pass for just 6.5 yards per attempt on an adjusted basis, I believe, 10 passing

touchdowns in 12 games.

The year prior to that in 14 games in Cleveland in 2021, he passed for 3,000 yards, 17 touchdowns was at 7.2 yards per attempt.

Granted, in 2020, we did see this man pass for 29 yards, 3,823 yards in 17 games.

And in 2019, had 22 passing touchdowns in 2018, 27 passing touchdowns.
