Drake Maye
QB - New England Patriots
Availability
Maye has finished as a QB1 in two of his five full NFL starts. He has rushed for at least 24 yards in five games. Among 40 qualifying quarterbacks, Maye ranks 29th in yards per attempt, 29th in yards per attempt, 17th in highly accurate throw rate, and 19th in fantasy points per dropback. Maye should at least return strong QB2 value this week with an outside shot of finishing as a QB1 if he can stack some rushing production. Since Week 6, Miami has allowed the tenth-most passing yards per game, the 13th-highest CPOE, and the tenth-highest success rate per dropback.
Maye has been surprisingly consistent for New England. The Patriots are in a full rebuild around their standout rookie quarterback, but he has been a calming presence and an elevator to those around him. I'm more likely to stream Maye in Week 13 against the Colts, since the Dolphins are such a tough matchup. Then again, Maye has a really safe floor with his rushing ability alone. Maye has averaged 41.3 rushing yards per game over his six starts.
