Who Should I Start? Drake Maye or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, November 1, 9:35 AM

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the best storylines this season, completing more than 75 percent of his passes for 2,026 yards, 15 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has 250 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The UNC product has taken an extraordinary leap in his second pro season, leading the Patriots to a 6-2 record while entering his name into the MVP race. From a fantasy perspective, Maye is the overall QB2 and has established himself as a must-start player every week, regardless of matchup. That remains the case in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Even though Atlanta has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Maye should capitalize on a home matchup against a struggling Falcons squad. After all, Atlanta surrendered four touchdowns to Tua Tagovailoa last week. Maye is a strong, mid-range QB1 option once again.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart remains a high-floor fantasy option for the Week 10 road matchup against the Chicago Bears due to his elite rushing production, despite a limited receiving corps. Currently the 17th-ranked fantasy QB, Dart averages a solid 18.48 fantasy points per game, significantly buoyed by his impressive five rushing touchdowns on the season. This week's opponent, the Bears, presents an appealing matchup for dual-threat quarterbacks, as they are the 26th-ranked fantasy defense against QBs, allowing an average of 19.66 points per game. Furthermore, Chicago's pass defense has been susceptible, allowing an average of 237.6 passing yards and 20 passing touchdowns through eight games, confirming Dart as a strong QB1 with significant upside.
