Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Drake Maye

Monday, November 10, 9:18 PM

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is inching his way closer to returning to the field. Burrow had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and will practice in a limited capacity. Despite that, the Bengals have already ruled out Burrow for the upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It sounds like Burrow is aiming to get back on the field for the Thanksgiving matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. It's worth noting that the Bengals sit at 3-6 with Joe Flacco likely drawing two more starts. If they lose both games, the Bengals might elect to hold out Burrow for the rest of the season. For now, it sounds like Burrow is aiming to play on Thanksgiving, but a lot could change over the next few weeks.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye will be tasked with facing a strong Tampa Bay Buccaneers team on Sunday in Week 10. The second-year signal caller has 10 touchdowns and three turnovers over his last four games, and he ranks as the overall QB3 after a spectacular first half of the season. However, he has played against some softer defenses, so Sunday against the Bucs will be a better test of his strengths and weaknesses. It could also offer some clarity in an MVP race that features Maye and Baker Mayfield. Maye certainly has some things to clean up after turning the ball over twice in last week's 24-23 win over the Falcons. He'll also look for his offensive line's help to keep him upright, as he has taken 16 sacks over his last three games. He continues to rank as a strong fantasy QB1 option despite Tampa Bay allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. His rushing ability could work in his favor as the Bucs have surrendered the seventh-most rushing yards to quarterbacks.
