STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Drake Maye is a solid start but temper expectations for Week 1.

Drake Maye is ranked as the QB13 for Week 1 against Seattle. While he has season-long upside, expectations should be tempered for Week 1 due to the matchup. He scored 17.5 fantasy points against Seattle last year and now benefits from AJ Brown as a teammate.
