Negative signalProjection

Maye's 2025 schedule was soft; expect regression facing top-10 defenses.

Maye is flagged as a regression candidate despite stellar 2025 production. The 23-year-old Patriots QB launched into stardom with 4,394 passing yards, 31 passing touchdowns, 450 rushing yards, and four rushing touchdowns—only Josh Allen scored more fantasy points among QBs. However, Maye did not face a top-10 defense during the regular season in 2025. He will face a bunch of them in 2026, making a repeat of 350 fantasy points unlikely. The recommendation is to fade top QBs this season, with Maye standing out as a particular concern.
