Drake Maye News
Wednesday, April 1, 7:28 AM
Drake Maye New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye emerged as a superstar in 2025, leading his team to a Super Bowl appearance and finishing second in the MVP vote. Across 17 games, the 23-year-old completed 72% of his pass attempts for 4,394 yards, 31 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while also rushing for 450 yards and four scores. Maye's dual-threat ability gives him high-end fantasy upside, and his age makes him a clear dynasty asset. There are some questions around Maye's supporting cast in New England, as the team's starting wide receiver trio of Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, and Mack Hollins projects as a below-average group. Maye also averaged an unsustainably excellent 8.9 yards per pass attempt in 2025, so a moderate regression in passing efficiency without an uptick in passing volume could lower his numbers across the board. Still, Maye has all the makings of a franchise signal-caller and profiles as an elite dynasty quarterback heading into 2026.

Dylan Sampson News
Saturday, April 4, 6:47 PM
Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson was mostly overshadowed by Quinshon Judkins last season, but the former did flash significant upside when he got on the field. Sampson had eight catches for 64 receiving yards when Judkins missed Week 1, and he finished the year with the 23rd-most receptions among running backs despite playing just 23.2% of the offensive snaps. Judkins suffered a dislocated right ankle last December, and while he should be ready for the 2026 season opener, Sampson would be in line for a large role if he's not ready to go. Even if Judkins does have a clean bill of health, Sampson could carve out standalone value given his impact as a receiver. He profiles as a third-down back who could be a low-end RB3/flex in PPR leagues, and he would jump to the RB2 tier if Judkins misses time.
