Drake Maye DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a low-end QB1 option in fantasy football ahead of Sunday's Week 15 battle with the Arizona Cardinals. Maye has nine turnovers over his last five games, but he has shown improvements as a passer and runner. In his last outing against the Colts, he completed an impressive 80 percent of passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, plus 59 rushing yards. The Cardinals have allowed modest production to opposing quarterbacks this year. On a positive note, they've been one of the worst teams at intercepting passes, picking off the sixth-fewest passes in the NFL. However, on the other hand, they have excelled at containing mobile quarterbacks, allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards to the position. Maye's ability to scramble may be reduced, but he's still a flashy threat to rack up yardage on the ground and through the air while keeping the Patriots competitive against Arizona.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 24 of his 30 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He also rushed five times for 59 yards on the ground and took four sacks. This was Maye's second-best fantasy performance in the last six weeks, and it was also the first time since Week 10 that he coughed up less than two turnovers. Furthermore, the 22-year-old rookie delivered the second-highest rushing yard total of his young career. All in all, Maye turned in a productive fantasy showing despite the Patriots losing at home. He should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback on the other side of New England's Week 14 bye.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains an intriguing fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts. While Maye is coming off his second consecutive loss, the rookie has maintained solid fantasy production, ranking as the overall fantasy QB11 since he took over as the team's starter back in Week 6. This week, Maye gets one of his best matchups yet, facing a Colts defense that has allowed the third-most completions, fifth-most passing yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. This year's No. 3 overall pick ranks just inside the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks heading into this week's battle against an underperforming Colts squad.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Maye also rushed for 26 yards, took four sacks, and lost a fumble. Turnovers have been a major issue for the young quarterback in his first season. Through six full games, he has 11 turnovers (seven interceptions and four lost fumbles) and 11 total touchdowns. If he can do a better job protecting the football, he'll boost his fantasy value and create more scoring opportunities for the Patriots. For now, though, he ranks as a QB2 in fantasy football. He does have significant upside heading into Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains a low-end QB1 option heading into Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. Outside of an elevated turnover rate, Maye has been everything the Patriots hoped he would be so far. The No. 3 overall pick has been a top-14 fantasy quarterback in three of his six starts, and he has finished within the top 18 in each of the five games that he's played in full. He threw for a career-high 282 yards and two touchdowns last week, and he has continued to produce solid rushing production in each of his appearances so far. This week, he faces the Dolphins, who have statistically fared well against opposing quarterbacks this year, but some of those numbers are skewed from when Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined and opposing teams were able to adopt a run-heavy approach against Miami. Between Weeks 9 and 10, they surrendered a total of 528 passing yards and three touchdowns to opposing signal-callers. If Maye can exceed 250 yards and tally a couple of scores, he'll crack the top 12 for fantasy quarterbacks.
