Drake Maye Showcases Accuracy in Clean Win Over Jets

Thursday, November 13, 11:59 PM

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.

Kaleb Johnson Could See More Touches

Tuesday, November 18, 7:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson has seen a minimal role in the offense during his rookie season. However, Johnson could see an increased role this week. Lead back Jaylen Warren (ankle) is currently uncertain to suit up against the Chicago Bears in Week 12. If he sits, Kenneth Gainwell figures to take over as the lead back with Johnson presumably being the backup. Last week, Johnson rushed the ball five times for 15 yards in the win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Gainwell is the better option between the two right now, but Johnson might have some deep league appeal if Warren is unable to play.
