In the quarterback landscape for the New England Patriots, the situation remains uncertain with Jacoby Brissett potentially starting the season. However, amidst this uncertainty, rookie Drake Maye emerges as a compelling figure for fantasy managers to monitor closely. Known for his robust stature and impressive college statistics, Maye demonstrated a knack for minimizing turnovers and delivering under pressure throughout his collegiate career. Despite a puzzling downturn towards the end of his final season, the consensus points to Maye eventually blossoming into a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. His profile suggests potential for elite production, although immediate fantasy relevance may be limited by New England's offensive challenges and his rookie status. Nevertheless, in Superflex and two-quarterback formats, Maye presents an intriguing late-round option with significant upside. Drawing comparisons to Josh Allen in terms of both passing and rushing abilities, Maye could provide substantial fantasy returns once he secures playing time in the Patriots' lineup.

Expected to supplant Jacoby Brissett

FFToday's Take: Maye was almost certainly going to start some games as a rookie, but the timing of the announcement is odd, to say the least. It was thought one of the major reasons why Maye was not named the starter to begin the season was that the organization was trying to do right by him and not set him up for failure behind a bad offensive line. Giving him his first NFL start against a Texans' defense that has been very good at rushing the passer this season is a curious decision at best. Fantasy managers would do well to continue streaming their DST units against New England.
