Who Should I Start? Joe Burrow or Drake Maye

The Miami Dolphins reportedly made a strong push for quarterback Joe Burrow ahead of the 2020 season. According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins offered the Bengals four first-round picks for Burrow before the draft. Obviously, the Bengals declined and believed that Burrow would be their franchise quarterback. The Bengals were right to gamble on Burrow, who has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league when healthy. After losing out on Burrow, the Dolphins decided to select Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth-overall pick during the 2020 draft. Tagovailoa has been mostly average during his time with the Dolphins and was recently benched by the organization. This trade could've completely changed the direction of the Dolphins franchise.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has continued to play high-quality football during the back half of the season. He ranks 10th among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game since Week 11, displaying impressive consistency with a moderate ceiling. Managers won't gripe about Maye continuing to rank among the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks, but he could truly make his mark in the fantasy playoffs if he returns to the top-three form that he flashed earlier this season. On Sunday night in Week 16, he'll take on a Baltimore Ravens defense that most recently held Joe Burrow to 225 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. Maye's rushing ability could set him apart this weekend, as he ran for 43 yards and two touchdowns last weekend against the Bills. Through 14 games this season, he has 362 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. The Ravens have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards to quarterbacks, but they have also surrendered the 12th-most rushing touchdowns to the position. Baltimore also has just nine interceptions this season, which means we could see another turnover-free game from the former No. 3 selection, who has been picked off just seven times in 2025. All in all, Maye should continue to be a top fantasy quarterback against the Ravens. RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings have Maye ranked as high as QB3 for Week 16.
