Drake Maye
vs Tyler Warren

“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. Heat Index: 4 Running Back”

“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 .”

“Warren has been used near the line of scrimmage so far, averaging only 1.9 air yards per target. 36.4% of his targets have been at or behind the line of scrimmage, the third-highest rate among tight ends with double-digit targets. That said, he is playing a ton of snaps and getting regular targets.”

“Tyler Warren played 94.4% of the snaps, ran 92.7% of the routes, and had a 27.8% target share. Laquon Treadwell filled in for Pierce, running clear-out routes. Downs, Allen, and Warren all had good days, scoring 12.7, 18.3, and 14.7 PPR points, respectively.”

“While the Colts signed Darius Slay ton as Pierce’s replacement in the offense, Josh Downs and Tyler Warren will likely benefit the most from Pierce’s absence. TE Quick Hitters Brock Bowers | TE, Las Vegas Raiders (QUESTIONABLE) – Bowers is officially questionable after getting in two limited practices to start the week and then not practicing Friday. The Raiders indicated that Bowers’ Friday absence was planned and not a setback.”

“Tyler Warren is being asked to pass block more in 2026 (11.9% versus 6.9% last year) and his aDOT is a paltry 1.4 yards.”

“Tyler Warren had a fantastic rookie season as the TE10 in fantasy points per game, but there was plenty of meat left on the bone that should have fantasy gamers excited going into 2026.”

“Over his first 10 games of 2025, Warren averaged 5.0 catches, 61.7 receiving yards and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, with four touchdowns. Over his last seven games, Warren averaged 3.7 catches, 28.6 receiving yards and 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, with one touchdown.”

“Warren was excellent last year on a per-route basis. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he was sixth in target share, ninth in receiving yards per game, 18th in yards per route run and first downs per route run, and sixth in first-read-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). His target share and first-read share should increase this season with Pittman Jr. gone, and his per-route productivity should also improve if Daniel Jones can stay healthy for the entire season and be at least a shadow of his healthy self.”

“Obviously, Tyler Warren will see a great deal, and Alec Pierce just secured the bag, but Downs should not be forgotten”

“While Daniel Jones appears healthy heading into 2026, I expect to see more of Warren taking snaps at quarterback, as he did at Penn State. Warren offers unique upside that has received little discussion this offseason.”

“The Colts offense took a big step forward in 2025, and they will need to rely even more on Tyler Warren to keep that momentum going. Warren had an outstanding rookie year after leading the Colts in targets last season. The departure of Michael Pittman (PIT) will lead to even more looks for Warren's second season.”

“Warren had a strong rookie season, catching 76 of 112 targets for 817 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown. Warren played 84% of the snaps as a rookie, running a route on 83.6% of the team's dropbacks.”

“In the games that Tyler Warren played with Daniel Jones, he averaged 12.36 PPR points and 53.7 yards. In the four that he played in without Jones, his numbers dropped to 6.95 points and 29.5 yards.”
