Nathan flags five QB busts for 2025: Mayfield, Mahomes, Herbert, Goff, and Tagovailoa. Mayfield’s 2024 surge invites regression; Mahomes loses rushing upside; Herbert’s Harbaugh-Roman run-first approach shrinks passing volume; Goff’s line and Johnson exit cap upside; Tagovailoa’s injury history and Dolphins line woes heighten risk.

Rashee Rice’s suspension compounds KC volatility, while the piece cautions avoiding top-seven or top-15 priced QBs in uncertain conditions. The core takeaway: target safer floor options and stay ready for midseason buy-lows as rotations reveal real upside.
