Who Should I Start? Tyler Huntley or Drake Maye

Saturday, October 25, 11:07 AM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was recently signed to the active roster, and head coach John Harbaugh revealed that the long-time backup could start if Lamar Jackson (hamstring) gets downgraded from questionable. Huntley has appeared in 21 games for the Ravens across five seasons, with nine of them being starts. As far as backups go, Huntley has been the only one to seemingly make this offense move, and he even made a Pro Bowl in 2022. With that being said, the Chicago Bears have allowed 15 passing touchdowns and forced 11 interceptions this season. Fantasy managers that are forced to start Huntley due to injuries or bye weeks shouldn't expect some sort of huge QB1 performance, but could keep a team afloat if desperately needed.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the best storylines this season, completing more than 75 percent of his passes for 2,026 yards, 15 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has 250 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The UNC product has taken an extraordinary leap in his second pro season, leading the Patriots to a 6-2 record while entering his name into the MVP race. From a fantasy perspective, Maye is the overall QB2 and has established himself as a must-start player every week, regardless of matchup. That remains the case in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Even though Atlanta has allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Maye should capitalize on a home matchup against a struggling Falcons squad. After all, Atlanta surrendered four touchdowns to Tua Tagovailoa last week. Maye is a strong, mid-range QB1 option once again.
