Who Should I Start? Drake Maye or Keon Coleman

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.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has continued to see looks as a top-three option in the passing game heading into Week 9. Coleman has garnered 39 targets, resulting in 27 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. Despite trailing Khalil Shakir in targets, Coleman has led the Bills in snap share in all but one game this season. With the 22-year-old wideout seeing consistent reps, his target load should only grow as quarterback Josh Allen continues to build trust with his second-year weapon. Coleman is on pace to improve upon his rookie campaign, which saw him haul in 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns. With the Bills taking on a stingy Chiefs defense, Coleman could see enough looks to sneak into lineups as a flex play in deeper leagues.
