Outlook Drake Maye

Drake Maye at Seattle — Primed for Strong Road Opener

Named a team captain after an electric 2025 campaign, Maye enters the season healthy and commanding an upgraded passing attack now featuring top target A.J. Brown alongside tight end Hunter Henry. While head coach Mike Vrabel held Maye out of preseason action, Maye built strong chemistry with his new weapons over late camp to anchor New England's downfield offense.

Facing Seattle on the road, our weekly projection forecasts Maye for roughly 245 passing yards, 1.6 touchdowns, and 27 rushing yards (18 fantasy points). Currently started in roughly 87% of leagues, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a trustworthy start with dual-threat upside.
