Who Should I Start? Daniel Jones or Drake Maye

Thursday, November 20, 4:47 PM

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (calf) was added to the team's Thursday injury report and listed as a limited practice participant due to a calf issue. While the severity of the injury is unclear, it's never a great sign for a player to be added to the injury report in the middle of the week, and it could be an indication that Jones suffered the ailment during practice. Across 10 games this season, the 28-year-old has completed 69.9% of his pass attempts for 2,659 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Jones has also been a threat with his legs, rushing for 143 yards and five scores on 40 attempts. If he's unable to play in Week 12, rookie quarterback Riley Leonard would be in line to make the start on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Should Jones be active, he profiles as a borderline fantasy QB1 against Kansas City, although a calf injury could impact his effectiveness as a runner.

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.
