Drake Maye Set for Favorable Matchup in Primetime Slot

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been the fifth-highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season, and he'll look to build on his impressive year against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Maye continues to play at a high level, albeit perhaps not quite as sensational as earlier in the year. Over his last four games, he has 1,104 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, three interceptions, and one lost fumble, as well as 57 rushing yards. Through 13 weeks this year, he has 23 total touchdowns and eight turnovers. Maye has a chance to explode in a favorable matchup this Monday. Although the Giants do have NFC sack leader Brian Burns, New York is also allowing the second-most fantasy points and the most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Maye ranks as the overall QB2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Drake Maye Held to One Touchdown in High-Yardage Win

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of his 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for 22 yards and took a sack. Maye wasn't able to rack up high-end fantasy scoring, but his significant yardage total and strong final three quarters helped New England cruise to its ninth consecutive victory. The Patriots are the first team to 10 wins and have sole possession of first place in the entire NFL, largely thanks to Maye's spectacular season. Even though Sunday's outing didn't set the world on fire, his track record indicates that he should have no trouble bouncing back as a strong QB1 option against a subpar Giants defense in Week 13.

Drake Maye Poised to Feast Against Struggling Cincy Defense

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye should bounce back as a high-end fantasy QB1 for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The former No. 3 pick delivered a modest 281 yards and one touchdown last week, falling shy of his high-end QB1 upside. He should get back to that tier this week, though, as the Bengals have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025, as well as the third-most passing touchdowns. In addition to Maye getting a favorable matchup, he'll also benefit from the return of two key targets. Both Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) and Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) have been removed from the injury report and will return following their multi-game absences. Maye is the overall QB2 in fantasy scoring this season, and he's well on his way to a phenomenal MVP candidacy. He should be started in all fantasy leagues as he takes on the Bengals.

Drake Maye Showcases Accuracy in Clean Win Over Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 281 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 11 win over the New York Jets. He also took one sack and rushed for two yards. The former No. 2 pick didn't have to go above and beyond on Thursday as the Patriots prioritized running the football to beat New York. Nevertheless, Maye still attempted 34 passes and improved his season completion rate by one-fifth of a percentage point. He continues to rank as the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football, and he has also propelled his team to sole possession of first place in the NFL standings. Fantasy managers should continue to view Maye as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Drake Maye Could Showcase Rushing Upside in Front of National Audience

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a must-start in fantasy football ahead of Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. Maye is coming off a solid 270-yard, two-touchdown game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that made him the highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season. He continues to flash a high completion rate, consistent scoring tendencies, strong passing yardage efficiency, and impressive rushing abilities, allowing him to stand atop the fantasy football podium while leading the Patriots to an 8-2 start (and a seven-game win streak). This week, Maye gets a relatively favorable matchup against the Jets, who have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points and fifth-most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Maye remains a high-end QB1 for this divisional matchup on national television.

Drake Maye Looks to Extend Team's Winning Streak in Week 10

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.

Drake Maye Carries Major Momentum Into Week 9 Against Atlanta

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.

Drake Maye Strikes for Three Touchdowns, Leads Patriots to Sixth Win

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.

Drake Maye Remains Matchup-Proof Ahead of Browns Game

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.

Drake Maye Continues Breakout Season with Dominant Week 7 Performance

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.

Drake Maye Has an Opportunity to Feast Against Struggling Titans

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.

Drake Maye Delivers Another Three-Touchdown Gem

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.

Drake Maye Remains Must-Start QB1 Against Saints

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.

Drake Maye in Must-Start Territory Despite Matchup Against Strong Division Rival?

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.

Drake Maye Flashy in Week 4 Win Over Tough Opponent

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.

Drake Maye Ranked as QB1 Despite Facing Stingy Defense in Week 4

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.

Drake Maye Shows Off Dual-Threat Ability as Patriots Fall Short

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.

Drake Maye Has QB1 Upside Ahead of Favorable Matchup in Week 3

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.

Drake Maye Totals Three Touchdowns in First Win of 2025

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.

Drake Maye Has Big Upside Against Struggling Defense

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.
