Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Drake Maye

Saturday, December 6, 11:42 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 234 yards and one touchdown in last week's 27-24 loss to the Jets, spreading the ball around to seven different receivers, each with at least two targets apiece. The veteran QB now has an unremarkable 3:1 TD:INT in three starts this season, and heads into a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Seattle's defense has yielded just 152.7 yards per game passing over their last three contests (sixth-fewest) and is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs. The game will be played indoors in Atlanta, but with the Falcons missing their top receiver, Drake London (knee), and with an implied team total of just 19 points, they are not expected to find the end zone frequently. It all points to Cousins being a very low-end QB2 for Sunday's showdown.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns while adding six carries for 12 yards on the ground in Monday night's 33-15 win over the New York Giants. Maye continued his MVP-caliber season with his sixth performance this season where he completed at least 75% of his passes with two or more touchdown passes, which ties Matt Ryan's 2016 MVP season for the third most in NFL history, according to ESPN Insights. The 23-year-old signal-caller threw both touchdowns in the first half, including another beautiful deep ball to rookie receiver Kyle Williams for a 33-yard score in the second quarter before throttling down in the second half. Maye has taken the leap into stardom in his second season and is right in the thick of the MVP conversation as New England heads into their Week 14 bye.
