PositiveMatchupOct 31, 2026
Typically plays well against garbage teams like the Miami Dolphins in Week 8. This context supports the aggressive ranking of his pass-catchers, particularly Hunter Henry.NegativeRoleOct 29, 2026
Good matchup against Miami Dolphins, but historically struggles against good teams and excels against bad teams; major weapon availability concerns this week with Romeo Dobbs on injured reserve, AJ Brown limited in practice Wednesday with knee injury separate from high ankle sprain and missed Thursday practice, and Trevian Henderson also limited in practice. Weapons projected to look ugly, creating ceiling risk; Drake May is nervous about accessing the 30-point ceiling needed from May on their fantasy team. Despite concerns, May has been so good that benching him would be inadvisable.PositiveValueOct 24, 2026
Kenneth Walker recommends selling Drake Maye in a 14-team league where the team has Brock Purdy at quarterback, suggesting the team can afford to trade Maye and should charge a premium for him given the scarcity of quarterbacks in deep leagues.PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
Ranked 3rd in source's QB rankings behind Lamar Jackson and Caleb Williams. Compared favorably to Caleb Williams as looking incredible with rushing upside at NFL level. Source notes he hasn't rushed as frequently as Caleb Williams at NFL level but still has rushing upside component to his game.PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
Flock Fantasy predicted Drake Maye to exceed 20 fantasy points in this game via prediction market analysis. Over a large sample through weeks 4–7, Maye is performing as QB1 in fantasy points per game (compared to QB2 last season in his rookie year). Ranked 3rd in source's QB rankings behind Lamar Jackson and Caleb Williams. Characterized as a set-it-and-forget-it top-three quarterback with rushing upside, and source expresses strong confidence in his sustained performance.PositiveValueOct 22, 2026
In a dynasty rebuild, Drake May is recommended as a target to acquire in exchange for Lamar Jackson; source suggests pairing the trade with additional long-term pieces like Mekhi LeMieux to accelerate the rebuild, positioning May as a younger QB alternative to aging veteran assets.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Playing tonight against Chicago Bears in high-scoring game environment with rushing upside; both he and Caleb Williams have potential for 50+ rushing yards and rushing touchdown. Josh Allen is starting Drake May on his own fantasy team and believes both QBs should be started if rostered.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026
Drake Maye is projected to exceed 20 fantasy points tonight and ranks as QB1 overall in fantasy football over the last 3 weeks, averaging approximately 30 fantasy points per game. The source is starting him on their own fantasy team. His production ceiling is expected to unlock further once A.J. Brown fully integrates into the offense in his second game back from injury; in Brown's first game back, he hurt more than helped with dropped passes, but the source expects him to show why the New England Patriots traded a first-round pick for him.PositiveValueOct 22, 2026
Flock Fantasy identifies Drake Maye as having tremendous value and recommends offering him to teams weak at quarterback (e.g., those with Jacoby Brissett) to acquire skill-position upgrades like Rashee Rice or DeVonta Smith for flex spots. The source also notes that a team with both Drake Maye and Caleb Williams should consider selling one of them to improve their second flex spot, as having two starting-caliber quarterbacks is a luxury that can be monetized.PositiveProjectionOct 20, 2026
Drake Maye has turned the corner after a poor start, recording 10 passing touchdowns over the past three weeks. His efficiency has improved significantly, making him a quarterback to target for fantasy production.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Dameon Pierce moved Drake Maye to QB2 rest of season after he was the worst QB in fantasy through the first three weeks. Maye has now returned to being a good fantasy quarterback and is in a tier with Brock Purdy, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and Caleb Williams as a solid weekly QB1 to play every week regardless of matchup. Josh Allen sits alone at QB1. Pierce is very bullish on Maye's turnaround.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Drake May has returned to being a good fantasy quarterback after being the worst QB in fantasy through the first three weeks. Dameon Pierce moved him to QB2 rest of season, describing this as incredibly aggressive. May is now in a tier with Brock Purdy, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and Caleb Williams as a solid weekly QB1 to play every week regardless of matchup, with only Josh Allen sitting alone at QB1.NegativeProjectionOct 18, 2026
Drake Maye is projected for 20.2 points by betting markets. Cam Scataboo considers market-based projections way more accurate than Yahoo projections because real money is behind them.NegativeProjectionOct 18, 2026
Cam Scataboo prefers Drake May over Kurt Cousins for his upcoming matchup; May was QB1 in fantasy last week and the week before. However, Scataboo notes that AJ Brown's return makes another elite May performance feel unlikely, tempering expectations for sustained QB1 production.PositiveValueOct 18, 2026
QB1 in back-to-back weeks with strong rest-of-season value; ranked 53–57 overall ahead of Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. The source has May on their own fantasy team and ranks him among the elite tier of QBs. While the source suggests May could be sold in a straight QB-for-receiver swap (e.g., for Rasheed Rice) to a QB-needy team, his recent performance and ranking make him a valuable asset to keep depending on team needs.PositiveProjectionOct 17, 2026
The return of AJ Brown to the Patriots' offense makes Drake Maye a more enticing fantasy option.PositiveRoleOct 17, 2026
Drake Maye is the preferred starter over Aaron Rodgers on this team; the source notes he can be streamed for bye week coverage with waiver wire options like Kyler Murray available.PositiveBreakoutOct 15, 2026
Brock Perty is starting Maye this week, noting he has been the overall QB1 in fantasy for two consecutive weeks, overcoming a rough start to the season.PositiveProjectionOct 12, 2026
Drake Maye is playing good football, and his rest-of-season ranking is expected to rise in upcoming updates.PositiveBreakoutOct 12, 2026
Drake Maye has posted back-to-back weeks as the overall QB1 in fantasy football. He recently went 'nuclear' with 374 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown against the Raiders. Despite early-season struggles and a shoulder injury, he is now a locked-in weekly starter regardless of matchup.NegativeMatchupOct 10, 2026
Drake May should be benched this week in favor of Jacobe Brassette due to a weaker matchup. The source recommends waiting for May to show something before feeling comfortable starting him next week when Brassette doesn't have a favorable matchup.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Drake Maye is a recommended start due to his significant rushing upside, which is second only to Josh Allen among the quarterbacks discussed. Despite the Patriots' modest projected point total, his rushing floor makes him a viable, albeit nerve-wracking, start.PositiveProjectionOct 8, 2026
Drake May finished as QB1 in fantasy football last week and shows upward trajectory after a slow start to the season. The speaker is willing to move past early-season performance given recent elite production and will probably play Drake May over Trevor Lawrence despite concerns about his floor.NegativeProjectionOct 5, 2026
Drake Maye has shown extreme volatility: benched after back-to-back stinkers in weeks 1–2 (looked like worst QB in NFL ahead of Justin Herbert), played in week 3 and was unbelievably bad, but bounced back with rushing production and accurate throws. Now viewed as playable in good matchups only, with some really dumb plays and bad moments still present.NegativeProjectionOct 4, 2026
Drake May is currently starting at quarterback for a 0-3 dynasty team while waiting for Caleb Williams to return. The source identifies the quarterback position as what has absolutely killed the team, with Drake May being at the bottom of the league in points scored. The source expresses frustration with his play, noting the team is waiting for Caleb to replace him, with Drake May identified as the primary weakness dragging down the roster.NegativeProjectionOct 4, 2026
The source admits to playing Drake May in recent weeks and losing back-to-back fantasy matchups partly because of that decision. However, if the choice is between Drake May or Mariota, the source would play May, indicating May is the lesser of two poor options.NegativeValueOct 3, 2026
Drake Maye is unsellable in trades; Flock Fantasy notes that 'nobody will take him' at this point, making him a dead asset on a roster that also holds Brock Purdy.NegativeBustOct 3, 2026
Host drafted Drake May and started him through the first three weeks, identifying him as the primary reason for losing the last two weeks; describes learning the lesson "the hardest way possible" after a horrific quarterback situation. Subsequently traded away for Joe Burrow in a deal the source approves of overall.NegativeProjectionOct 2, 2026
Drake May has collapsed from QB2 in fantasy in his second NFL season (first as full-time starter) to looking like the worst quarterback in fantasy football; the source calls this 'absolutely brutal' and 'unbelievable.' The source expresses surprise that a roster is 2-1 while starting Drake May, implying he is a below-average starting quarterback; the source suggests upgrading at the position but notes the roster lacks the depth to afford a trade for a better QB. May is also positioned as significantly inferior to Tyler Shuck at the quarterback position.NegativeBustSep 30, 2026
Drake May has scored 9.8, 8, and 3.8 fantasy points in his first three weeks and is described as 'a certified bum' by Flock Fantasy. He is unstartable and being benched despite facing the Buffalo Bills in week four, with the host stating 'there's no way in hell that I can trot this dude back out there in my starting lineup.' The host notes that with a real quarterback, they would be 3-0 instead of having a losing record. As somebody who has Drake May on their team, the host would trade him in a heartbeat for viable alternatives like Dak Prescott or Tyler Shuck.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026
Drake Maye has been a disappointing fantasy starter, with the source noting that Case Keenum scored more points in a single game than Maye has all season. The source is reconsidering his roster spot, though he remains hopeful for potential viability once A.J. Brown returns.NegativeProjectionSep 29, 2026
Bree Hall assesses Drake May as looking 'absolutely horrific' and expresses doubt he will return to his previous season's performance level; however, Hall still prefers May over Baker Mayfield as a backup option. In Dynasty, May is clearly preferred over Jordan Love and Josh DS in trade scenarios; a deal trading May away for Love and DS would likely be regretted by offseason, suggesting May's long-term value is significantly higher despite current poor performance.NegativeBustSep 28, 2026
Stafford drafted May in round 7 and deeply regrets it; May's fantasy production has collapsed with 9.8 points week 1, 8 points week 2, and 3.8 points week 3, leaving Stafford a bottom-three team in his league standings after starting May three straight weeks. Stafford declares 0% confidence in starting May next week, citing poor play, lack of weapons (no AJ Brown), New England's dysfunctional offense, and offensive line injuries. Stafford notes that other QBs without weapons are getting the job done, so the dysfunction is not solely circumstantial.NegativeProjectionSep 27, 2026
Drake May has been atrocious through the first two weeks from a fantasy perspective; however, Dantavian Wixs suggests banking on long-term upside if AJ Brown returns, as the New England Patriots offense lacks dynamism without him. May's team is expected to naturally improve as the season progresses with the addition of A.G. Brown to the offense. Wixs would trade Drake May away in a heartbeat for Josh Allen and Bucky Irving, noting the gap in points per game between Allen and May is insane. Despite this, Wixs prefers Drake May over Bryce Young and Tyler Shock at quarterback, citing May's strong fantasy performance last season (second in fantasy points per game) as sufficient sample size to justify starting him over those alternatives, betting on regression to the mean despite recent struggles.NegativeBustSep 24, 2026
Drake Maye is averaging fewer than nine fantasy points per game and lacks reliable weapons like AJ Brown; he is a drop/pivot candidate if he fails to score double digits again.PositiveProjectionSep 20, 2026
Puka prefers Drake May over Trevor Lawrence in a quarterback matchup, citing a projected step backwards for Lawrence due to matchup difficulty and current projections.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
Josh Allen ranks Drake Maye as his QB10 for the week, recommending him as a start due to his rushing upside and the Patriots being five-point favorites, despite concerns regarding his lack of elite receiving weapons like A.J. Brown.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Current QB on host's team but not exciting to start; host lacks enthusiasm about playing him and would prefer Joe Burrow if available. However, May should be started at quarterback in a four-point passing touchdown league due to his rushing upside; the speaker recommends playing May over other options.NegativeValueSep 14, 2026
Tua. Then Tua admits that drafting Drake Maye ahead of Caleb Williams was a massive mistake.NegativeProjectionSep 13, 2026
The source expresses concern regarding Drake Maye's rest-of-season outlook, citing a poor season opener, ineffective play-calling, and the injury to AJ Brown, which negatively impacts Maye's fantasy projection.NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026
Ranked significantly lower than usual due to extremely difficult Seattle matchup. New England Patriots project only 20.5 points this week, significantly lower than any other offense discussed except Buffalo Bills. Herz notes this is 'a really tough spot' and 'an insane game,' indicating downside risk despite his personal commitment to starting Maye in his league. Normally ranks ahead of Jackson Dart and Caleb Williams, but the matchup forces a downgrade.NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026
Jaylen Herz. Jaylen Herz's personal start despite extremely difficult matchup playing in Seattle. Described as 'a really tough spot' and 'an insane game,' indicating downside risk despite Jaylen Herz. Jaylen Herz's commitment to starting him in their league.PositiveValueSep 8, 2026
Target QB in a smaller upgrade trade proposal; the source suggests trading Dak Prescott and Chris Godwin to acquire Drake May as an alternative QB upgrade option, indicating May offers better value than Prescott in the trade market.NegativeProjectionSep 5, 2026
Drafted at 609 ADP in a 12-team, double flex, full PPR, six-point passing touchdown league; the source took Drake May at the end of the seventh round in the Flock League with identical settings.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026
The source recommends Drake May as a downgrade target from Josh Allen, allowing teams to maintain quarterback production while freeing capital for depth acquisitions like Ladd McConkey in a double-flex league.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026
Drake Maye is preferred over Trevor Lawrence in trade comparison. When evaluating the core trade of Lawrence for Maye, Deandre Swift states 'I'd rather have May,' indicating better value at the quarterback position.NegativeValueSep 4, 2026
Drake May is traded away alongside Kenneth Gainwell for Raandre Stevenson and Kyler Murray, indicating reduced trade value relative to the return. The trade structure suggests May is viewed as less valuable than the assets acquired in the deal.NegativeValueSep 3, 2026
Drafted in this expert draft; the speaker begins to discuss May but the transcript cuts off mid-thought.PositiveValueSep 1, 2026
Flock Fantasy recommends trading for Drake Maye as an elite quarterback target, suggesting offering Dak Prescott and DK Metcalf to acquire him. Maye is viewed as an elite QB worth overpaying for.NegativeValueSep 1, 2026
Flock Fantasy suggests trading Drake Maye and D.K. Metcalf to pivot to Lamar Jackson in a 10-team, 2WR/1FLEX league. Maye is not relied upon to hit the starting lineup, making him expendable for a quarterback upgrade; the source notes this trade 'just makes so much sense' given the league's shallow format that doesn't require deep WR depth.NegativeValueAug 31, 2026
Taken at the end of the seventh round in the Flock League; in a six-point passing touchdown format, the speaker is less enticed by the rushing upside of QBs, making Drake May a later-round option.NegativeRoleAug 31, 2026
Drake Maye is rostered as Amanra's starting quarterback in a six-point passing touchdown league; Amanra considers whether to keep him or pivot to Jackson Dart as a backup option, suggesting uncertainty about Maye's bench value relative to handcuff running back depth.PositiveProjectionAug 30, 2026
Ranked ahead of Jaylen Hertz by the source; acceptable to roster both May and Caleb in an 8-team league with fine waiver-wire options available; can be packaged with Mike Evans to trade up to Josh Allen at quarterback.NegativeProjectionAug 30, 2026
Drake Maye is on the host's fantasy team, though the host expresses frustration that the Patriots are projected as a bottom-six offense for Week 1.PositiveProjectionAug 29, 2026
Drake May is one of the top two quarterbacks in the speaker's rankings; last season he was QB2 in points per game at 20.7 in his second season ever played. The speaker has him a tier below Lamar Jackson but not close to Josh Allen, as the New England Patriots project to regress significantly year-over-year despite acquiring AJ Brown.PositiveProjectionAug 29, 2026
The source drafted Drake Maye in the Flock League and has officially moved him ahead of Jayden Daniels in rankings due to concerns regarding the Washington offensive line.NegativeRoleAug 27, 2026
Colston Loveland drafted Drake May as his first quarterback, committing to the position early; he avoided taking a second quarterback, reading the room that other drafters like Sal Vetri would do the same. Later in the draft, Loveland noted he has a good quarterback room with Drake May, providing depth at the position.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
JJ Zachariason acquired Drake Maye at pick 7.08 in his Flock league draft, demonstrating that elite QBs can be obtained very late; Maye is also selected at 7.04 in this draft, further supporting the strategy of waiting on quarterback.NegativeProjectionAug 23, 2026

Drake Maye is identified as a target for the seventh round of the draft.NegativeBustAug 18, 2026
Drake Maye was selected at the 6.09 draft position. While the source targeted him in the middle of the sixth round for 6-point passing touchdown formats and initially felt set at quarterback, they later characterized the pick as a bad decision, noting that Matthew Stafford could potentially outscore him in that scoring format.PositiveValueAug 14, 2026
Flock Fantasy may move Drake Maye ahead of Jayden Daniels in rankings due to offensive line injury context (Laremy Tunsil), suggesting Drake Maye's draft value is being reconsidered upward relative to Daniels.NegativeUsageAug 13, 2026
Drake Maye is noted for providing rushing upside, which makes him a consideration for quarterback rankings.PositiveProjectionAug 9, 2026
The source views Drake Maye as an incredible value in the late sixth round, especially when stacked with AJ Brown. The Laremy Tunsil injury for the Commanders is cited as a factor that brings Maye and Jayden Daniels closer in value. If drafted, the source intends to commit to him for the season rather than trading him if a late-round quarterback like Patrick Mahomes outperforms expectations.NegativeValueAug 8, 2026
The source ranks Drake May behind Joe Burrow in 6-point passing touchdown leagues, though he gains value in 4-point passing touchdown formats due to his rushing upside.PositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026
Drake Maye is included in the elite quarterback tier, suggesting he is one of the top options to target before the position depth drops off.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
The source ranks Drake Maye very highly but opts against drafting him in the middle rounds, as the team's current roster construction requires focusing on running back and wide receiver depth instead of an elite quarterback.PositiveRoleAug 2, 2026

One of the top seven quarterbacks the analyst would draft early in fantasy drafts.PositiveProjectionJul 16, 2026
One of the top seven quarterbacks to draft early in fantasy drafts.PositiveProjectionJun 24, 2026
Drake Maye is grouped among elite quarterbacks (Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Jalen Hurts) in the source's draft strategy framework. The source advises that if you take one of these elite QBs early, you should not draft a second quarterback until the last round of redraft leagues, indicating Maye's elite-tier status justifies early selection and delayed secondary QB acquisition.PositiveValueJun 16, 2026
Drake Maye is drafted at pick 70 in this $500 draft.PositiveDepth ChartJun 16, 2026
Drake Maye was selected at pick 62, immediately after Joe Burrow at pick 61.PositiveValueJun 10, 2026
Drake May is in the same draft range as Parker Washington (WR34 ADP), presented as a preferable elite quarterback option.NegativeValueNo date
The source identifies Drake Maye as a player who can be utilized as a small sweetener in trade packages.NegativeProjectionNo date
Was QB2 in fantasy points per game last year, much better than Lamar Jackson, but the source expects regression because the New England Patriots' schedule is much tougher this year, so the Patriots should regress back.NegativeProjectionNo date
Drake May is ranked 66 and grouped with Jaden Daniels (65), Jaylen Hertz, Joe Burrow, and Caleb Williams as the last-tier starting quarterbacks. The source indicates these are the final options where taking one as a starter eliminates the need for a backup, suggesting mid-tier confidence.NegativeRoleNo date
Chris Rodriguez criticized a team's roster construction for drafting Drake May along with Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff, creating a three-quarterback roster with only Josh Jacobs at running back. Rodriguez cited this as part of the worst draft grade in the league, indicating poor roster construction and inefficient use of draft capital.PositiveValueNo date
Drake Maye was selected in round 6 at pick 69 based on the belief that elite quarterbacks provide a vastly superior advantage; the points-per-game gap between elite QBs taken in round 6 (Hertz, Maye, Burrow, Caleb) versus those in rounds 8-10 is meaningful at 2-3 PPG, whereas the gap between WRs and RBs at that ADP is not as significant. Mrs. Flock advocates for taking Maye at pick 69 over Marvin Harrison, questioning whether Harrison at 69 is meaningfully different than wide receivers available in coming rounds.
