New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will be tasked with facing a strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers team on Sunday in Week 10. The second-year signal caller has 10 touchdowns and three turnovers over his last four games, and he ranks as the overall QB3 after a spectacular first half of the season. However, he has played against some softer defenses, so Sunday against the Bucs will be a better test of his strengths and weaknesses. It could also offer some clarity in an MVP race that features Maye and Baker Mayfield. Maye certainly has some things to clean up after turning the ball over twice in last week's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He'll also look for his offensive line's help to keep him upright, as he has taken 16 sacks over his last three games. He continues to rank as a strong fantasy QB1 option despite Tampa Bay allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. His rushing ability could work in his favor as the Bucs have surrendered the seventh-most rushing yards to quarterbacks.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the best storylines this season, completing more than 75 percent of his passes for 2,026 yards, 15 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has 250 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The UNC product has taken an extraordinary leap in his second pro season, leading the Patriots to a 6-2 record while entering his name into the MVP race. From a fantasy perspective, Maye is the overall QB2 and has established himself as a must-start player every week, regardless of matchup. That remains the case in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Even though Atlanta has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Maye should capitalize on a home matchup against a struggling Falcons squad. After all, Atlanta surrendered four touchdowns to Tua Tagovailoa last week. Maye is a strong, mid-range QB1 option once again.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 18 of his 24 pass attempts for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also took six sacks and rushed for 50 yards. The former No. 3 pick continues to dominate during his breakout campaign, as he now has 17 total touchdowns and just three interceptions in 2025. He is also completing passes at an elite rate, maintaining a completion percentage north of 75 percent. All the while, he has looked like one of the NFL's better rushing quarterbacks and has led the Patriots to an AFC East-leading 6-2 start. Maye's six sacks and one interception on Sunday weren't ideal, but he made up for it with his completion rate, yardage, touchdowns, and the win. The 23-year-old remains a mid-range fantasy QB1 heading into a clash with the Falcons, who just surrendered four passing touchdowns to Tua Tagovailoa.
Oct 26, 2025 5:58 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has emerged as a must-start quarterback in fantasy football. He continues to be matchup-proof heading into Sunday's Week 8 clash with the Cleveland Browns. Maye has been excellent in his second pro season, racking up 1,744 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, 200 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and two interceptions en route to ranking as the overall QB5 so far. He has posted high fantasy finishes against some of the stingier defenses in the league, including the Steelers and Titans. He should continue to feast this week despite playing against the Browns. Cleveland has contained mobile quarterbacks quite well, allowing the second-fewest rushing yards and fewest rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks in 2025. They've ultimately surrendered the fifth-fewest passing yards and third-fewest fantasy points to the position. On a positive note, they've allowed the 11th-most passing touchdowns. Maye will still have to play at a high level Sunday, but he has shown time and time again that he's capable of doing so. He remains a mid-range QB1 for fantasy purposes.
Oct 25, 2025 2:04 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continued to prove he's one of the best young players in the NFL by dominating the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 and leading his team to a 31-13 win. Maye completed 21 of 23 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, adding eight rush attempts for 62 yards as well. The 23-year-old has now thrown for 1,744 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns through his first seven games of 2025. He's topped 250 total yards in every week but one so far this season. Maye looks every bit like a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 19, 2025 10:36 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the best players in the NFL lately. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans have been one of the toughest teams to watch, limping to a 1-5 record and firing their head coach mid-season. Therefore, we could be in for a huge game from Maye as he takes on the Titans in Week 7. The second-year quarterback has six total touchdowns and zero turnovers over his last three games, ranking as the overall QB5 so far this season. Maye should have no trouble dismantling the Titans' defense in their first game under interim head coach Mike McCoy. However, it is worth noting that the Titans have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. This is a combination of their respectable unit and a tendency to surrender large leads to their opponents early in the game. If New England jumps out to an early lead, we could see them run the ball more. However, that's no reason to second-guess your lineup decision. Maye should still be started as a mid-range QB1 in every league.
Oct 18, 2025 12:15 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 18 of his 26 pass attempts for 261 yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints. He took just one sack and was the Patriots' leading rusher with an additional 28 yards on the ground. Maye has taken a major leap during his second pro season, ranking as a fringe top-five fantasy quarterback so far. He has scored three total touchdowns in half of his games this season, making him an impactful player for both the Patriots and his fantasy managers. His impressive accuracy, improved decision-making, and dual-threat ability are among the factors that make Maye one of the most impressive and fastest-rising quarterbacks in fantasy football. He'll remain a mid-range QB1 option heading into a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
Oct 12, 2025 5:56 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a must-start fantasy option heading into Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. The 23-year-old ranks as the overall QB7 this season, racking up nine total touchdowns and just two interceptions. He has three touchdowns in two different games this season and also helped take down the NFL's only remaining undefeated team, the Buffalo Bills, last Sunday night. Maye has made huge strides in the start of his first full NFL season, showing signs of a very bright future. In the short term, he has a very favorable outlook this week against the Saints. Maye's track record pairs well with New Orleans' defense allowing the third-most passing touchdowns and eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025.
Oct 11, 2025 12:52 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been playing some of the best football of his young career and should be deployed as a mid-range QB1 in most leagues during Week 5. He takes on the Buffalo Bills this week, and while that's a tougher matchup, it should at least lead to some garbage-time opportunities, if not steady, consistent production in a potentially close game. The Bills have actually been relatively soft this year, allowing the most rushing touchdowns and 13th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, as well as just one interception. That bodes well for Maye, who is the overall QB4 so far while contributing 988 passing yards, 98 rushing yards, nine total touchdowns, and two interceptions. Maye should be started in most fantasy leagues this week given his extreme success and relatively favorable matchup.
Oct 4, 2025 9:29 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 14 of 17 pass attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 4 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers. He also rushed for 11 yards and another touchdown on the ground. The 23-year-old has quietly produced one of the strongest starts to the season among all NFL quarterbacks, racking up nine touchdowns, 98 rushing yards, and just two interceptions. He ranks as the overall QB4 in fantasy points through four weeks, trailing only Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes II. That's an elite class of quarterbacks, so Maye's presence among such a talented group is a testament to the strong four weeks he's had. He has entered must-start territory as a mid-range QB1 entering next week's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Sep 28, 2025 7:47 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has performed well this season, but he'll face a tough test against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4. While Carolina isn't commonly viewed as a dominant team, their defense has been quite strong this year, especially against quarterbacks. In full, the Panthers have allowed the third-most interceptions, the fewest passing touchdowns, and the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 205. They have also allowed zero rushing touchdowns to the position, but on the flip side, they've registered just one sack. With all that being said, Maye himself has been solid, ranking as the overall QB7 so far while rushing for 87 yards. He isn't immune to ugly football -- last week, he had two costly turnovers in a loss to the Steelers -- but for the most part, he has looked quite impressive while making massive strides in his second pro season. RotoBaller's experts aren't worried about Maye's tough matchup, ranking him as the overall QB6 heading into Sunday's Week 4 contest.
Sep 27, 2025 1:12 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 28 of his 37 pass attempts for 268 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also carried the football seven times for 45 yards on the ground. Furthermore, the former first-round pick took five sacks and lost a fumble. While it was far from a clean game for Maye, he did salvage his fantasy showing with the 300-plus total yards and two touchdowns. He'll look to address the turnovers before heading into a Week 4 showdown against the Carolina Panthers, who just held the Atlanta Falcons to zero points. He is the overall QB4 in fantasy points through three weeks, making him a worthwhile fantasy starter going forward.
Sep 21, 2025 8:49 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is an intriguing fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 3 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maye has looked solid through the first two games of the season, demonstrating accurate passing, moderately clean football, and rushing upside. His path to fantasy production continues to trend in the right direction this weekend. While the Steelers have been a strong defense in recent history, they have struggled to contain quarterback production this year, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the position. Both Justin Fields and Sam Darnold have found fantasy success against Pittsburgh, and Maye should follow in their footsteps. He's a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into Week 3.
Sep 20, 2025 1:53 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. In the process, he tied his career-high completion percentage (82.6 percent). He also ran the ball 10 times for an additional 31 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The second-year signal caller has looked solid through two games this year, showcasing an ability to make plays on the ground and through the air. Sunday's matchup was relatively softer, but he was still tested from time to time. We could see a similar fantasy performance from Maye next week as he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose defense has underperformed through the first two games.
Sep 14, 2025 8:12 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has top-12 fantasy upside heading into Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Maye was solid with 287 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the season opener last week, but he has the potential to take a bigger leap this weekend given the Dolphins' struggling defense. Miami was decimated by Daniel Jones last weekend, as the Indianapolis Colts quarterback finished with 272 passing yards, 26 rushing yards, and three touchdowns. Even if Maye doesn't quite match Jones' stat line, there's still a strong chance he finishes as a QB1 this Sunday.
Sep 13, 2025 10:38 AM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will open his second pro season against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Maye showed several flashes of potential last year, and there's optimism that his accurate passing skills and mobility could make him a fringe top-12 quarterback this year. He definitely has top-12 upside in Week 1 against the Raiders, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks last year. It also helps that Maye is playing with the best receiver group of his career, headlined by veteran Stefon Diggs. Maye should be started in all two-quarterback formats, and he's even a strong option in deeper single-quarterback leagues.
Sep 6, 2025 9:32 AM EST
The New England Patriots have a "strong internal belief" that quarterback Drake Maye will take a step forward in the second season of his career, according to Jeff Howe of The Athletic. Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 draft, took over the starting job in Week 6 as a rookie and went on to flash his sky-high potential over 13 games. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound dual threat completed 66.6% of passes for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He added another 421 yards and two scores on the ground, averaging a gaudy 7.8 yards per attempt on 54 rushes. While the 22-year-old will likely experience some growing pains, especially as he gets acclimated to a new system under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, he should benefit from a better supporting cast than he had in 2024. Maye is going into the season as RotoBaller's 14th-ranked QB, but his upside is significant.
Aug 29, 2025 8:12 PM EST
According to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye had "a relatively positive training camp" this summer, "but maybe he didn't take that huge leap that a lot of people expected him to -- or that I expected him to." Kyed also mentioned that there were "growing pains." Maye did a good job limiting turnovers in practice settings, but then he would turn the ball over in scrimmages or the preseason. A lot is expected of the 22-year-old after he was taken third overall in the 2024 draft out of North Carolina, but fantasy managers must remember that this will be his first full year as the starter under center, and Kyed even says that he could still be acclimating to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system early on. More growing pains in 2025 should be expected, but Maye is still an midrange QB2 target with upside in fantasy.
Aug 28, 2025 5:19 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed four of his seven pass attempts for 46 yards during Saturday's preseason win over the Minnesota Vikings. His first drive led to a punt, while the second resulted in a TreVeyon Henderson rushing touchdown. Maye's performance was nothing special; some of his passes either sailed over his receivers or required them to change direction to catch the pass so they were unable to turn upfield for extra yardage. He also took an inexcusable delay of game penalty. The preseason is the perfect time for players to learn from their mistakes, so perhaps Maye will come out even stronger during next week's contest in preparation for his second NFL season. Nevertheless, his accuracy and ability to lead the offense will be worth monitoring as Maye looks to avoid the notorious sophomore slump.
Aug 16, 2025 6:31 PM EST
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed three of his five pass attempts for 12 yards during Friday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. He also registered two carries, 16 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown. The touchdown came on Maye's second and final drive of the game, as he scrambled into the end zone to put the Patriots ahead by two scores. On a less positive note, Maye did take a sack and lose a fumble in the preseason opener. Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the former Tar Heel in his second pro season. Not only should he benefit from a new coaching regime led by Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels, but he'll also have a full season, offseason, and training camp under his belt. The blend of playing experience and quality coaching will serve Maye well. The same can be said of his rushing skills and New England's offseason additions, both in the trenches and among the offensive skill positions. Maye is currently being drafted as a mid-to-low QB2 in most fantasy leagues, but there's a legitimate chance that he finishes among the top 10 quarterbacks in fantasy points this year. As long as Maye continues to make strides this preseason, he should be a hot commodity in fantasy drafts given his rushing ability.
