Outlook Drake Maye

Drake Maye at Miami — Riding an explosive hot streak into a divisional clash

Maye has caught fire over the past month, accounting for 14 total touchdowns in his last four games while spearheading New England's offensive resurgence. Even with Romeo Doubs sidelined and top target A.J. Brown dealing with an ankle issue, Maye continues to produce explosive plays downfield while supplementing his passing with dependable rushing production.

Fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats against a struggling 1–5 Dolphins squad. Our weekly projection lands at 21.4 fantasy points, anticipating roughly 261 passing yards, two touchdowns, and 31 yards on the ground to solidify him as a top fantasy option this week.
