Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Drake Maye

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) managed only 16 snaps before leaving Sunday's game against the Browns with a chest injury. A Monday MRI revealed that the 33-year-old veteran suffered a pectoral strain, and he is now considered week-to-week. There were fears that he had suffered a full tear, which could have ended his season, so the news is positive for the fantasy surprise who came out of retirement this offseason to score four touchdowns in his first three games. With six teams on a Week 8 bye, fantasy managers without an IR spot might find it difficult to keep Waller stashed, but for contenders who can manage to keep him rostered, his upside at the position is worth holding onto.

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.
