Drake Maye vs. Jets — Red-Hot Quarterback Primed for Another Strong Outing

Drake Maye has caught fire over his last two games, leading New England to consecutive wins while racking up 643 passing yards and eight total touchdowns. The offense has found its rhythm, keeping pressure off Maye and unlocking his downfield aggression with weapons like Hunter Henry and DeMario Douglas.

Our weekly projections forecast another productive afternoon with 220 passing yards, 1.5 passing scores, and 28 rushing yards (19.9 fantasy points) as home favorites against the Jets. With his start rate surging to 86%, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Matthew Stafford vs. Cardinals — Poised for Big Numbers in High-Scoring Matchup

Stafford commands the Rams' passing attack with top targets Puka Nacua and Davante Adams at his disposal in the huddle. While starting tackle Alaric Jackson serves a one-game suspension that could invite pressure, Stafford demonstrated his elite passing upside against Buffalo, producing over 320 yards and three scores when kept clean.

Facing a 1-4 Arizona team in an expected high-scoring home contest, our models project Stafford for 282 passing yards and 2.5 passing touchdowns (21.2 fantasy points). With his start rate surging to 84% across leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a dependable option with high weekly upside.
