Drake Maye
vs Christian Watson

“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.”

“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.”

“Maye has officially ended his playoff and early-season skid, and he’s a set-it-and-forget-it QB1 for now. MarShawn Lloyd Might Be Semi-Useful MarShawn Lloyd led Green Bay’s backfield in carries (10) and rushing yards (31). No one is jumping for joy for 3.1 yards per carry, but Lloyd punched in two rushing touchdowns and added a six-yard reception on two targets.”

“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.”

“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.”

“( 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. . . .”

“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.

“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 .”

“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.”

“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.”

“Watson has been the biggest beneficiary of quarterback Jordan Love ‘s propensity to look deep downfield, culminating in his 6/143/2 performance on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Though his catch totals will never rival Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase , Watson more than makes up for it with his freakish size/speed combination and ability to box out defenders on downfield looks. Watson made several highlight-reel catches and is well on his way to his first 1,000-yard season if he can stay on the field.”

“CHI | DraftKings: $6,400/FanDuel: $7,000 Christian Watson is one of my favorite wide receiver plays on this slate, especially if you’re already using Jordan Love at quarterback. The Packers have leaned heavily on their passing game this season. Watson gives Love a dangerous downfield weapon who can rack up fantasy points quickly .”

“Watson had only three targets, the fourth-most on the team, totaling two fewer than MarShawn Lloyd . Furthermore, Matthew Golden and Tucker Kraft led Green Bay with seven targets apiece. Even with leading the Packers in receiving yards (47), Watson scored only 7.7 fantasy points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”

“Again, this two-game sample size for Washington is nothing to panic about, as Ja’Marr Chase , George Pickens , and Christian Watson are all within 1% of Washington’s 16% target share. This is just a reminder that Washington is not a tier-one WR in dynasty. Parker Washington has 4 REC in his last two games.”

“Knowing the current situation of Christian Watson , would you trade him away straight up for Matthew Golden ? – natedawg205 Answer: Oh look, another BOAT question, although this time we’re going from the 25-meter yacht to…well, a 20-meter one. The Ballers have waxed lyrical about both of these players this past week, and although Andy may have recommended trading Christian Watson away, I sure as heck would not advise packing him off in return for his teammate, even if Golden has seen more looks from Jordan Love on the year. Watson has more receptions (17-15), more yards (284-253), and most importantly…more TDs (4-1).”

“Christian Watson scored four TDs in three weeks, and a dip in TDs would be detrimental to Watson’s fantasy production.”

“Christian Watson caught 7 of 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown — Green Bay’s opening score of the game. His share of the offense fell sharply week over week, but that’s because Matthew Golden’s target count exploded and the team threw 20 more times than last week. Target share fell sharply (33.3% → 18.9% adjusted) even though his raw target count only dropped by one (11 → 10).”

“Christian Watson (TRUST) Watson has opened the season with games of 6-147-2 (8 targets) and 4-41-1 (11 targets). Watson has played 82.6% and 93.8% of the dropbacks in the first two games, with target shares of 20% and 37.9%. With Jayden Reed going down last week, this passing tree became more concentrated.”

“Watson played 77.4% of the snaps, ran 81.4% of the routes, and had a 19% target share. Second-year wideout Golden had 85.5% of the snaps, ran 88.4% of the routes, and had a 28.6% target share. Reed was last with 58.1% of the snaps, ran 67.4% of the routes, and had a 16.7% target share.”

“Christian Watson finished second on the team in targets behind Matthew Golden but finished with a 6/147/2 split on the heels of an 81-yard touchdown reception where he broke away from Vikings defenders. With the Packers’ run game being non-existent, expect more pass-heavy scripts from Watson and Co. moving forward. Stud:”
