Expert takes

Drake Maye
  • “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.”

    Rich Hribar· Oct 7, 2026

  • “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
Davante Adams
  • “Davante Adams – 13 targets, 7 rec Tyler Higbee – 11 targets, 8 rec It is not surprising to see Adams posting double-digit targets for a second consecutive week in the absence of Puka Nacua . It was supposed to be Terrance Ferguson earning extra targets at TE, but after suffering an ankle injury, it was Higbee that stepped up instead. It’s also worth noting that Konata Mumpfield surprised with eight targets on Sunday night, though he will likely lose any fantasy appeal once Puka returns.”

    Aaron Larson· Sep 29, 2026
  • “Rams No. 2 receiver Davante Adams had a decent day then (three catches, 56 yards and a touchdown), but the 33-year-old was spectacular during Nacua’s absence over the past couple of weeks.”

    Connor Byrne· Oct 1, 2026
  • “Davante Adams has run 182 routes without Puka Nacua on the field since last season. On those plays: • 36.4% target share • 41.0% early-down target share • 57.1% air yard share • 3.10 yards per route run • 10 TD Most rushes hitting 15+ miles per hour this season (Next-Gen Stats): 1. Bhayshul Tuten (18) 2.”

    The FF Newsletter· Oct 1, 2026

  • “With Puka Nacua out, Adams has answered that question loudly. He’s winning at all three levels — short, intermediate, and deep — all over the field. Watch this and tell me it looks like a 33-year-old receiver: Davante Adams got it and got going for 49 yards!”

    Jon Machado· Sep 30, 2026
  • “Davante Adams is a must-start with Puka Nacua not expected to play, and Terrance Ferguson is an interesting play at TE.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Puka’s long-term injury status should be fine, but Adams is a WR1 if Puka misses any more time with a potential suspension. Parker Washington Parker Washington has proven that he is clearly the Jacksonville Jaguars ’ best WR. Washington is second in the NFL in target share and third in air yards (37%) through two weeks.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Davante Adams – 10 targets, 8 rec Terrance Ferguson – 9 targets, 6 rec The Rams bounced back on Monday night after their dud in Australia. Adams posted double-digit targets for the first time since Week 5 of last season and turned them into two TDs and nearly 200 yards. As for Ferguson, the second-year TE more than doubled his highest single-game target output from last season, when he never saw more than four.”

    Aaron Larson· Sep 22, 2026
  • “Injury Report RAMS Out: S Kamren Kinchens Doubtful: WR Jordan Whittington Questionable: WR Puka Nacua GIANTS Questionable: CB Deonte Bank, LB Micah McFadden Top Captain Plays Davante Adams $13,200 Adams is my favorite CPT under the Puka-out assumption. He led the NFL with 14 receiving TDs last season, and I want exposure where the Rams’ passing production runs through him after he was buns against the 49ers last week. This feels like a bounce-back spot.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 21, 2026
  • “Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Inside Sean McVay’s pass‑heavy offense, Davante Adams remains a high‑end fantasy player. Even while playing next to Puka Nacua’s historic WR1 season, Adams scored 14 touchdowns in 14 games.”

    Lawrence Iacona· Aug 27, 2026
  • “He’s only finished outside the top 15 of fantasy receivers once since 2015, and that was due to an injury-shortened campaign back in 2019. Adams has eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark in six of the past eight seasons (missing out on his seventh by only three yards).”
