Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Drake Maye

Wednesday, May 28, 11:08 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterbacks Anthony Richardson (back) and Daniel Jones are splitting repetitions during organized team activities this week, according to The Athletic's James Boyd. Richardson missed the last two games of the 2024 season due to a back injury, but he's fully recovered now and is in a full-on competition for the starting gig under center in 2025 with Jones. The splitting of reps between Richardson and Jones is expected to continue into training camp this summer. The 23-year-old Richardson, the former fourth overall pick in 2023 out of Florida, was a massive disappointment in his sophomore season. He made only 11 starts due to injury while also being benched in favor of Joe Flacco. There's no question that Richardson has elite rushing upside, but he'll need to improve as a passer to beat Jones out and serve as a QB2 with upside in fantasy this year.

The Athletic's Chad Graff reports that New England Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye struggled in his first practice at organized team activities on Tuesday. Nobody should be putting too much stock into it, but Maye tossed four interceptions on his 16 pass attempts with the defense dominating early on. Three of the throws were outright misses, and one of them came on a batted pass on a throw behind his intended receiver. It's not all that surprising, though, with defenses usually ahead at this time of year and with Maye learning a new offensive scheme from Josh McDaniels. The 22-year-old former third overall pick eventually took over starting duties last year from Jacoby Brissett and predictably struggled for a Pats team lacking many offensive weapons. Drake showed signs of greatness, though, and he should be able to take a step forward in McDaniels' scheme with improved offensive weapons.
