Expert takes

Drake Maye
  • “Even during his struggles to start the year, Maye was good when he kept it clean.”

    Rich Hribar· Oct 14, 2026
  • “The Patriots Dominate After an abysmal start to the season, Drake Maye is the QB1 for the second week in a row, going into Monday night. He built on last week’s success by completing 26 of 34 passes (76.5%) for 374 yards and four TDs, plus another score on the ground. His 11.0 yards per attempt was bested only by Jordan Love , who threw multiple bombs in a blowout win.”

    Scott Freymond· Oct 12, 2026
  • “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
See 10 more
  • “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
  • “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.”

    Josh Shepardson· Oct 12, 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
Kyle Pitts
  • “Pitts has an 11.2% target share (17% TPRR) with 1.22 YPRR, two red zone targets, one deep target, and an 11.9% first-read share. Pitts is on the streaming radar this week against a Bears defense that has defended the fewest tight end targets in the NFL, but they have allowed the tenth-most yards per target to the position. Pitts could flirt with TE1 production this week, but he could also be a nothingburger in your lineup.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 15, 2026
  • “Pitts has a 53.7% snap rate, a 58.9% route share, only a 7.6% target share with 0.38 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and an 8.3% first-read share. Last week, with Michael Penix, Kyle Pitts had an 8% target share, five receiving yards, and a 5% first-read share. Until his usage trends upward, he’s a weekly sit.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Oct 1, 2026
  • “Kyle Pitts – 2 targets, 1 rec Pitts, on the other hand, has been disappointingly consistent through three weeks. He has yet to top three targets in a game and has a meager 8% target share. Even with Michael Penix Jr . giving Atlanta’s offense life, Pitts has been unplayable for fantasy football.”

    Aaron Larson· Sep 29, 2026
See 9 more
  • “Kyle Pitts has been an afterthought to begin the season.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 24, 2026
  • “Pitts has a 7.4% target share, 0.41 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and a 10% first-read share (third on the team behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson ). I’m hesitant to plug Pitts back into a lineup this week. Green Bay has held tight ends to the 13th-fewest yards per target while ranking 16th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Kyle Pitts has just one 15-yard catch on four targets over the first two weeks, but the Falcons’ passing game has been nonexistent with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. could return from his knee injury and take over as the Falcons’ quarterback as early as this week against the Packers. Pick up another tight end to staunch the bleeding if you must, but don’t release Pitts yet unless you have only a small handful of bench spots.”

    Pat Fitzmaurice· Sep 21, 2026
  • “Pitts is coming off a season where he posted a 90% route rate and a TE4 finish in PPR points per game. Sure, he’s a frustrating asset to own, but most tight ends are. I’m not moving Pitts down in my dynasty ranks based on this one performance.”

    Jim Moorman· Sep 15, 2026
  • “I think it transfers over to 2026. -Derek Brown Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Last season, Kyle Pitts finished as the TE2 in total fantasy points.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 10, 2026
  • “Pittsburgh Steelers Kyle Pitts was a polarizing draft pick.”

    Mike Fanelli· Sep 10, 2026
  • “The Falcons don’t have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London , so Kyle Pitts could very well be Atlanta’s No.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5, 2026
  • “Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.”

    Brooke Morgan· Sep 4, 2026
  • “-Pat Fitzmaurice Must-Know Tight End Fantasy Football Stats Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Kyle Pitts had a 22.7% target share last season, but it’ll be a bit of a different situation this season.”
