Who Should I Start? Drake Maye or Shedeur Sanders

Friday, December 12, 10:23 PM

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye played quite well during his last meeting against the Buffalo Bills, and he'll get another opportunity to face off against the division rival on Sunday in Week 15. Last time he faced the Bills, Maye completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 273 passing yards. He rushed for 12 yards and took four sacks. The former No. 3 pick played turnover-free football in that Week 5 contest, but he also was held without a touchdown for the first and only time this season. He should have more fantasy success this time around while also keeping New England in a competitive battle against the Bills. Buffalo's defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025, and they allowed Joe Burrow to throw for 284 yards and four touchdowns last weekend. Maye remains in the mix as a high-end fantasy QB1 coming off his bye week.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 18 of his 35 pass attempts for 177 yards and threw three interceptions in Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Chicago Bears. Sanders, scoring just 3.48 fantasy points on Sunday, is building connections with fellow rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. and rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond. That pass-catching duo accounted for 77.4% of Sanders' total passing yards and 50% of his completions for the day. Even though the rookie quarterback was under siege all afternoon in Chicago, he was able to complete five of his six passes when blitzed. However, his overall completion average was just 51.4% for the day, one of the worst in the league. Sanders draws the Buffalo Bills defense in Week 16, which is a tough matchup for quarterbacks despite their middling quarterback pressure rate of 34.4% and a 6.8% team sack rate. Looking ahead, Sanders is likely to remain a desperation deep-league Superflex option with an unreliable floor for fantasy managers.
