Who Should I Start? Bryce Young or Drake Maye

Monday, November 10, 12:21 PM

Bryce Young delivered another underwhelming performance in the Panthers' 17-7 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Carolina QB went 17-for-25 for 124 yards with no TD passes. For the second consecutive game, Young recorded fewer than five fantasy points as he logged only 2.6. He threw an interception and fumbled once. This Panthers' loss also ended a streak of four victories in a row with Young as the starting QB. He did not record any touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time this season. Through nine games, Young has scored 20-plus fantasy points only once. In Week 11, the Panthers will face the Atlanta Falcons, who ranked seventh in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to QBs leading up to Week 10. Fantasy players who roster Young in superflex leagues simply aren't getting enough production to even start Young as a QB2. Keep him reserved in Week 11 if possible.

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.
