Expert takes
“Now Maye gets a home matchup against the Raiders, giving him a chance to build on last week’s performance. At just $6,300 on DraftKings, he looks like an appealing value with the upside of finishing among the highest-scoring quarterbacks on the slate.”
Frank Ammirante· Oct 10, 2026“Last week, among 32 qualifying quarterbacks, Maye was 17th in yards per attempt, 12th in passing success rate, and 20th in highly accurate throw rate. The Raiders have been a mixed bag as a pass defense, allowing the 13th-highest passing success rate, the fifth-lowest EPA per dropback, and ranking 16th in yards per attempt. The heavy inclusion of motion won’t be as big of a cheat code for Maye and the Pats this week, though.”
FantasyPros Staff· Oct 8, 2026“He completed 59.5% of his passes, lost a fumble, and had an interception (not his fault), but Maye made up ground with 3 passing touchdowns, a two-point conversion, and 54 rushing yards to get back in QB1 graces. I even benched Maye in a league last week. And while I would have liked those points (nobody cares, but I still narrowly won the matchup), it was a major step in a positive direction for using Maye since he has a strong upcoming schedule.”

“Drake Maye Is NOT an Auto Start Maye finished with 199 passing yards, two INTs and a lost fumble, bringing him to seven giveaways through three games. His depleted supporting cast helps explain the struggles, but explanations do not score fantasy points. In one-QB leagues, streaming alternatives deserve a look.”
Chris Cash· Sep 28, 2026“Maye is another option I keep coming back to. His Footballers ceiling is nearly identical to Burrow’s, and Maye/Doubs with Bowers on the other side gives me another combination worth building out . I would compare the complete stacks before deciding which QB I prefer.”
Chris Cash· Oct 10, 2026“Buffalo Bills Outside of a wild tipped interception, Patriots QB Drake Maye caught the good end of variance in this game. He got lucky on a few would-be fumbles and two of his touchdown passes were spectacular catches by his receiver. But on the whole, this was an important bounce-back game for Maye.”
Ethan Woodie· Oct 6, 2026“( Mark Daniels ) Patriots Patriots QB Drake Maye had seven turnovers so far this season, but his three touchdown passes, including one to WR Efton Chism , helped them escape with a win over Buffalo. “We definitely have to build off it ,” Maye said in his postgame press conference . “This is relieving a little bit. . . .”
Wyatt Grindley· Oct 5, 2026“On Sunday, Maye put up 27.2 fantasy points, nearly matching his total from the previous three weeks combined. He’s currently the top fantasy quarterback for the week and will try to keep that momentum going in upcoming contests against the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets and Chicago Bears. Heat Index: 4 Running Back”
Jordan Woodson· Oct 5, 2026“Patriots Patriots HC Mike Vrabel spoke about trying to have more control over the offense and making better decisions, rather than forcing the play as QB Drake Maye did in the team’s recent loss. “I think sometimes, we really want to make a good score, right? Sometimes we’re so focused on it, we try to choke the life out of the golf club, and we’re squeezing it so damn tight that the ball has no choice but to go sideways,” Vrabel said on sports radio WEEI, via ESPN .”
Wyatt Grindley· Sep 30, 2026“Drake Maye is legitimately playing as bad as any starting quarterback in the NFL. What happened to the former AFC Champion and QB2 overall last year? I’m not in full-blown panic mode in dynasty yet, but I’m ready to jump ship in redraft.”
Jim Moorman· Sep 29, 2026“Jacksonville Jaguars Drake Maye is playing awful football right now. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. The 2025 runner-up MVP has committed seven turnovers in three games and melted down once again against the Jags.”
Ethan Woodie· Sep 29, 2026“Maye has managed just 21.6 total fantasy points through three weeks.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 29, 2026“Last season, the Patriots averaged 250 passing yards per game — Drake Maye is averaging just 179 passing yards so far in 2026.”
Elliott Troop· Sep 26, 2026“Duds QBs Drake Maye has taken a noticeable step down from last season’s fantasy production and cannot be counted on as a must-start without AJ Brown .”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026
“Carnell Tate was added to the injury report on Thursday with a back injury, but returned to a full practice on Friday.”
Jordan Pullett· Oct 10, 2026“Over the last two weeks, Tate has notched a 58.7% air yards share, second-best among all receivers, along with a 33.3% target share, good for fifth-best. This coincides with Cam Ward ‘s deep-ball rate, which was 8.3% and 6.5% in the last two games, respectively, compared to 3.1% and 0% in the first two, as the Titans are emphasizing getting the rookie involved. Ward continues to be a roller coaster week-to-week, but Tate displayed his ability to separate downfield and pluck passes in traffic against the Ravens’ defense.”
Chad Workman· Oct 6, 2026“If Tate can continue building chemistry with second-year QB Cam Ward, the Titans might unlock their offense after all. 32 — Miami Dolphins (0-4, —) Last week: L 10-15 vs. Minnesota Vikings Credit to Miami’s defense, as they kept this one close.”

““ Carnell Tate is my favorite buy-low because I think his role is developing faster than his fantasy production. He caught six of nine targets for 58 yards against the Giants, and I want to buy that involvement before a touchdown makes the box score more exciting. I have Tate at WR29 for the rest of the season, compared with WR42 in FantasyPros’ consensus.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 30, 2026“Carnell Tate might end up being a product of a bad situation with Cam Ward struggling so far, and he can stay on your bench until something changes.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026“Tate has been given as much opportunity as any rookie WR in football, as he leads all rookie WRs in target share.”
Jordan Pullett· Sep 23, 2026“Carnell Tate – 5 targets, 3 rec The Titans drafted Tate fourth overall in the NFL Draft, but through the first two weeks, they aren’t deploying him as an alpha. To be fair, his 11 targets this season account for a 24% target share. He’ll need improved QB play from Cam Ward and a better offensive environment all around to reach his potential for fantasy.”
Aaron Larson· Sep 22, 2026“Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Question #2 – Season-Long Strategy (Rookie WR Special) Very simple question… Carnell Tate – are you feeling the pantsless breeze just rolling him as a WR1, or do we need to talk about this? – soulcoffin Answer: Drafted with the fourth-overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft back in April, the Ohio State product finds himself in a less-than-ideal scenario on a passing offense that ranked dead last in TDs, 30th in completion %, and 29th in yards through the air…but those numbers do go some way to explaining why the Titans had the 1.04 in the first place.”
PaulMarnie· Sep 12, 2026“Drafting Carnell Tate is a bet on talent and Cam Ward’s ability to take off in his second season with Brian Daboll calling plays.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4, 2026“While Carnell Tate will see a significant workload, Robinson should lead the Titans in targets and receptions. Chris Godwin Jr. (WR – TB) | ADP: 100.8 ( WR 40) Unfortunately, Chris Godwin Jr. has struggled to stay healthy the past few seasons, missing 18 games in 2024 and 2025 due to injury.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 25, 2026“Carnell Tate (WR – TEN) Currently the WR14 in dynasty ECR, ahead of several more established veteran names, one analyst believes this is close to as good as Tate’s value will ever be, even after ranking him as his own WR1 in this year’s rookie class.”
