Should I Start Drake Maye?

Sunday, November 15, 7:59 AM

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that the team will need to have more tests run to determine the severity of the ankle injury that quarterback Drake Maye suffered in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Detroit Lions in Munich, Germany, according to Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. After leaving in the first quarter after just four pass attempts on Sunday, the 24-year-old was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest, leaving backup Tommy DeVito to lead an offense that also lost top receiver A.J. Brown to a hamstring injury. Before leaving, Maye completed three of his four pass attempts for 48 yards and had one carry for 11 yards. Obviously, his ankle injury is a huge concern for fantasy managers, but the good news is that the Patriots will be on their bye in Week 11 before facing the Los Angeles Chargers on the road in Week 12. The best-case scenario would be for Maye's ankle injury to be minor and allow him not to miss any games at all. In the event that he has to miss some time, New England's offense would take a huge hit with DeVito running the show, especially if Brown misses more time with another lower-body injury. Fantasy managers should check back on Maye's status on Monday after he undergoes more testing.
