New England Patriots DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also took two sacks and rushed for 14 yards and a touchdown. The rookie looked like he was headed for a clean, turnover-free showing before his pass was tipped by Kayshon Boutte and interception. On a more positive note, Maye's two touchdowns were both works of art. The first came on an ad-libbed play where he scrambled toward the goal line, and then as soon as the defender committed to him, Maye shoveled the ball to DeMario Douglas for the score. On his second touchdown, Maye scrambled outside the pocket and scampered into the end zone untouched. The No. 3 pick continues to show impressive accuracy, physicality, football IQ, and rushing upside. He's trending up and should be viewed as a high-end fantasy QB2 heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

Although he's not the best receiver on the Buffalo Bills roster, Mack Hollins has found his role on the team. He's an outstanding blocker and leads the team in receiving touchdowns. However, Buffalo has yet to play a game with their full roster of receivers. Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) have missed time since the former debuted in Week 7. They'll both be active on Sunday. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is also expected to return to the field. Although not heavily rostered now, there's even less trust in Hollins to turn a productive fantasy football performance. He can remain on waiver wires in Week 15.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is not a reliable fantasy option entering Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. While Boutte had three-plus catches in three of the last four games prior to the Patriots' bye, the second-year receiver's upside will be limited this week as he takes on the Cardinals. Boutte has played 89.8 percent of his snaps out wide, and Arizona has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers operating out wide in 2024. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere such as Boutte's teammate and Patriots slot receiver DeMario Douglas for fantasy production in the WR3/FLEX position this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is not a reliable fantasy option entering Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. While Bourne combined for 11 catches, 139 yards, and one touchdown in three games prior to the Patriots' bye, the 29-year-old's upside will be limited this week as he takes on the Cardinals. Bourne has played 78.5 percent of his snaps out wide, and Arizona has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers operating out wide in 2024. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere such as Bourne's teammate and Patriots slot receiver DeMario Douglas for fantasy production in the WR3/FLEX position this week.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is back on the fantasy radar as a dependable WR3/FLEX option in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Douglas caught four passes for just 20 yards in his last game, but he averaged a solid five catches and 51.5 yards in the four weeks prior to that. The second-year receiver typically operates out of the slot, making him a dependable safety valve for Drake Maye in short-yardage scenarios. Fortunately for Douglas, the Cardinals struggle to defend slot receivers, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position. New England's 24-year-old pass catcher is a dependable WR3 option as the fantasy playoffs get underway this week.
