Who Should I Start? Drake Maye or Jaxson Dart

Saturday, September 6, 9:32 AM

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will open his second pro season against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Maye showed several flashes of potential last year, and there's optimism that his accurate passing skills and mobility could make him a fringe top-12 quarterback this year. He definitely has top-12 upside in Week 1 against the Raiders, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks last year. It also helps that Maye is playing with the best receiver group of his career, headlined by veteran Stefon Diggs. Maye should be started in all two-quarterback formats, and he's even a strong option in deeper single-quarterback leagues.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has refused to reveal whether rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart or veteran Jameis Winston will serve as the team's backup to starter Russell Wilson for the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Dart looked very impressive in training camp and the preseason, but Winston has more than 100 games of NFL experience and was listed as the QB2 on the first unofficial depth chart during camp. For what it's worth, Dart is listed as the QB2 on the team's unofficial Week 1 depth chart. During the preseason, Dart went 32-for-47 passing for 372 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers and only two sacks taken. He also carried the ball six times for 52 yards and a touchdown. If Wilson struggles early in 2025, Dart could be the replacement under center in his first NFL season.
