Drake Maye
vs Quinshon Judkins

“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.”

“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.”

“Maye has managed just 21.6 total fantasy points through three weeks.”

“Last season, the Patriots averaged 250 passing yards per game — Drake Maye is averaging just 179 passing yards so far in 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 .”

““ Quinshon Judkins had a surprisingly solid performance last Thursday night against the Steelers, but I still don’t buy it. The Browns are winning, yet Judkins is still having a tough time getting going. The second-year back is averaging an abysmal 3.0 yards per carry this season and hasn’t topped 70 rushing yards in a game yet.”

“Judkins is averaging 0.64 yards before contact per rush, 33rd on that same list. He has been targeted on 24.3% of his routes (RB15) but has still run a route on only 35.6% of dropbacks (RB26), sharing passing duties with Raheim Sanders . Pittsburgh is 24th in expected points allowed per game to running backs , coming off allowing 69 total yards on 15 touches to Chase Brown on Sunday.”

“Judkins has a 68.3% snap rate with 53.3% of the rushing attempts, a 38.5% route share, and a 13.5% target share. He has handled all three of the Browns’ red zone rushing attempts this season. Unfortunately, he has been woefully inefficient with his workload, with zero explosive runs, 1.42 yards after contact per attempt, and an 8% missed tackle rate.”

“Quinshon Judkins is the Ballers consensus RB22 and can be benched if you have better options.”

“Quinshon Judkins has had 12 carries in each of his first two games and hasn’t had a run of 10 or more yards. He’s averaging 2.3 yards per carry behind a rebuilt Browns offensive line that ranks dead last in the run-blocking metric adjusted line yards. But Judkins gets a favorable home matchup against a Panthers defense that has given up the most rushing yards to RBs.”

“Quinshon Judkins is the RB33 in fantasy points per game, averaging 15.5 touches and 49 total yards per game.”

“Judkins is averaging 2.25 YPC on 24 carries (54 total yards), but he did have five receptions this week with Dylan Sampson out of the lineup. That may be enough to convince another owner that he is a true workhorse back and worthy of an RB2 trade. Maybe an opportunistic Chuba Hubbard owner would consider swapping for Judkins, knowing that the Browns are fully committed to him as their RB1?”
