Should I Start Drake Maye?

Thursday, November 12, 8:13 AM

As injuries pile up for the New England Patriots, quarterback Drake Maye has been routinely asked to carry the offense, and while his on-field results have been plagued by turnovers and inconsistency, he continues to produce for fantasy. After opening the season with only one passing touchdown to six interceptions through three weeks, Maye reeled off a five-game stretch in which he accounted for 17 touchdowns to only one pick, playing as the fantasy QB1 and becoming the AFC's Offensive Player of the Month for October. In a Week 9 loss to the Packers, he matched a season-high three interceptions, but still scored over 21 fantasy points on the strength of three touchdowns and nearly 300 passing yards. As New England's receiver room inches closer to full health, the Patriots face the Lions in a Week 10 international matchup, and with Detroit's defense ranking 31st against fantasy quarterbacks, Maye is a must-start in all formats.
