Maye's new weapons and elite passing metrics support top-five QB projection.

Drake Maye finished as QB3 in fantasy points per game last season and could equal or surpass that in 2026. New England added Romeo Doubs and A.J. Brown this offseason, giving Maye new weapons that could elevate the offense. The Pats ranked ninth in neutral passing rate last season and could improve further. Maye combines rushing upside—he was 12th in rushing yards per game and seventh in red zone carries per game among QBs—with elite passing metrics: first in yards per attempt, seventh in highly accurate throw rate, eighth in hero throw rate, and fourth in fantasy points per dropback. The source projects Maye as a strong top-five fantasy quarterback option with the ability to push Josh Allen for the QB1 spot if everything aligns in 2026.
