Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Drake Maye

Wednesday, November 26, 4:20 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, battled back from an 11-point deficit to defeat the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12, and he will look to carry that momentum in their Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Mahomes completed 29 of 46 pass attempts (63%) for 352 yards and zero touchdowns. The superstar quarterback did not find the endzone through the air or on the ground while also taking four sacks and throwing an interception. It was a mixed bag for Mahomes because he set a new season-high in passing yardage, but he finished with zero touchdowns for the second time this year. Both of his zero-touchdown games have come in the past three contests, which is discouraging for fantasy managers, but he could turn it around this week. The Chiefs take on the Cowboys, who have given up the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Mahomes was listed on the injury report with a groin injury, but practiced in full all week and does not have an injury designation for Thursday's game. Mahomes is ranked QB1 in our RotoBaller rankings, meaning that fantasy managers can feel confident with him in their starting lineups.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of his 35 pass attempts for 294 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed for 22 yards and took a sack. Maye wasn't able to rack up high-end fantasy scoring, but his significant yardage total and strong final three quarters helped New England cruise to its ninth consecutive victory. The Patriots are the first team to 10 wins and have sole possession of first place in the entire NFL, largely thanks to Maye's spectacular season. Even though Sunday's outing didn't set the world on fire, his track record indicates that he should have no trouble bouncing back as a strong QB1 option against a subpar Giants defense in Week 13.
