Expert takes
“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.”

“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
“See the latest odds of Zay Flowers playing this week >> What the Experts Are Saying Our injury model gives Zay Flowers a 91% chance to play this week. Week 5 expert consensus rankings have Flowers ranked as the WR10. His injury is listed on the injury report as: Foot He was a Limited Participant on Wednesday, a Limited Participant on Thursday, and a Limited Participant on Friday.”
FantasyPros Staff· Oct 11, 2026“With just three games played, Flowers already has four red zone targets and is on pace to nearly double his career-high in red zone targets that he set as a rookie back in 2023. While getting 22 red zone targets doesn’t seem like much, that would have ranked fifth among the leaders in 2025, so Flowers would be considered a high-end red zone weapon if that played out. With Flowers getting his first red zone TD of the season and already eclipsing his red zone receiving yardage from a year ago, there is real top-10 WR vibes coming from his start to the season.”
Kurt Mullen· Oct 6, 2026“Zay Flowers | WR, Baltimore Ravens (QUESTIONABLE) Flowers missed practice earlier in the week with a hamstring injury; however, he was a limited participant on Friday. Flowers is a must-start if active, as he will regain his role as the Ravens’ alpha receiver. If he misses his second consecutive game, Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman are the primary fantasy beneficiaries.”
Edward DeLauter· Sep 26, 2026

“The yards after catch haven’t shown up either, and with Zay Flowers projected to be back in the lineup, Andrews’ target competition is only getting tougher. Until the usage changes, I’d rather chase the matchup upside somewhere else at the position. Final Thoughts Three weeks into the season, the gap between box score and underlying performance is starting to matter more than ever.”
Matty Kiwoom· Sep 24, 2026“Zay Flowers is coming off WR12 in FPPG last season, and could have an improved situation with Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Sep 2, 2026“There’s a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs. Over 1,200 yards. 86 catches and 5 TDs (WR7) in 2025. WR3 over the last five games. 4+ catches in 13 of his 17 games: a testament to his reliable floor and consistent involvement.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 29, 2026“Zay Flowers will be the focal point of the passing attack, leading Baltimore in targets. However, Lane is competing with Rashod Bateman and an aging Mark Andrews for the No.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 25, 2026“Zay Flowers dominated Baltimore’s passing game in 2025 and remains Lamar Jackson’s most trusted target.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19, 2026“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) “ Zay Flowers is being drafted as WR17, which is a bit of a head scratcher considering he finished as WR12 in PPG for receivers that played more than half the year (WR14 if not).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11, 2026“Flowers posted 86 catches, 1,211 yards, and six total touchdowns last year despite playing for a team that threw the fewest passes in the league over the last three years.”
