Drake Maye completed 16-of-20 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots’ 24-19, Week 8 win over the Dolphins, adding eight rushes for five yards and one touchdown. 2026-11-01 21:00:02 Maye’s two-yard touchdown run was a thing of beauty. The Patriots quarterback took off to the right side of the field, faking a pitch to Rhamondre Stevenson, which caused a Dolphins defender to fully bite on it, running right past Maye while the Patriots’ quarterback darted into the end zone. Maye’s first touchdown pass was thrown to Kyle Williams on a post route. It was well-placed, allowing Williams to secure the ball in stride just before entering the end zone. Maye later linked up with DeMario Douglas via play action for his second score. The Patriots’ quarterback is a QB1 against the Packers next week. |

Drake Maye completed 24-of-31 passes for 321 yards, two touchdown, and one interception in the Patriots’ 30-24, Week 7 loss to the Bears, adding 26 yards and a touchdown on four carries. 2026-10-23 00:00:02 Maye and the Patriots struggled to tame an unrelenting Chicago pass rush and were unable to move the football on the ground effectively, two cariables that led to an early deficit against the Bears. Their first half possessions went turnover on downs, three-and-out, three-and-out, touchdown, interception before a wild series to end the second quarter. Caleb Williams led a touchdown drive that left only 14 seconds on the clock. After an 18-yard completion to A.J. Brown, just three seconds remained with the ball near midfield. That’s when Maye dumped the ball off to Rhamondre Stevenson in the flat underneath deep prevent coverage, and Stevenson did the rest on a touchdown that never should have happened to bring the game to a one-possession game. Maye’s other touchdown toss was a beautiful bread-basket throw to rookie tight end Eli Raridon up the seam, adding a score on a grit-play rushing touchdown early in the second quarter. It goes down as Maye’s fourth consecutive QB1 fantasy performance after starting the season leading the league in turnovers through three weeks. The 4-3 Patriots get a mini-bye ahead of a divisional meeting against the Dolphins in Week 8, where Maye will remain an upside QB1. |

Drake Maye completed 18-of-32 passes for 235 yards and three touchdowns in the Patriots’ 26-19, Week 6 win over the Jets. 2026-10-18 17:00:03 Maye added four carries for 24 yards rushing. The three-score passing effort was his third in as many weeks, while he is now up to 11 total touchdowns during his three-game hot streak. Good stuff, though it could have been much better. Maye lost No. 2 receiver Romeo Doubs to an early shoulder injury after he housed a 42-yard touchdown, while returning “No. 1" A.J. Brown had a nightmarish day with 4-5 drops, including several long gains and a potential score or two. Pop Douglas also lost a fumble at the end of a long catch-and-run. Unfortunate, but Maye is at least playing well enough again that those miscues merely held back his final box score instead of ruining it. He now has a likely short-week shootout in Thursday’s Bears road tilt. |

Drake Maye completed 26-of-34 attempts for 374 yards and four touchdowns in the Patriots’ Week 5 win against the Raiders, adding seven rushes for 25 yards and a touchdown. 2026-10-11 17:00:02 Maye had all day to operate in the pocket against a Raiders front seven that entered Week 5 with the league’s ninth highest pressure rate and fourth highest quick pressure rate. He attacked the Vegas secondary downfield from start to finish, hitting Kyle Williams and Pop Douglas for long touchdowns, and Williams for another long gain that put the Pats inside the five yard line. Maye’s rushing score came on a green scramble in the third quarter. Fully emerged from his early-season struggles, Maye is once again carving up opposing coverage units and causing fits with his scrambling ability. Maye, with eight total touchdowns over his past two outings, should be locked into lineups next week against a middling Jets secondary. |

Drake Maye (right shoulder) is practicing in full for Week 4 against the Bills. 2026-09-30 18:00:03 We are happy to see that the Patriots’ quarterback is practicing fully, but this is a new injury for Maye. He notably dealt with a throwing shoulder injury during the Patriots’ playoff run last season. His listing raises questions as to whether there might be a lingering issue. We expect a follow-up report on this in the coming days. |
