Drake Maye 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Drake Maye | QB - New England Patriots | Bye:14 |
| Age: 22 | HT: 6-4 | WT: 225 |
2024: After stapling Maye to the bench for five weeks, the Patriots turned to him for the remainder of their season and got much-improved quarterback play over Jacoby Brissett. It’s hard to say that it mattered, because New England’s offensive line and wideout play were so woeful that Maye cracked 250 passing yards only once in his team’s final eight starts of the season. But Maye flashed the upside that got him drafted third overall and, more importantly for our purposes, took off for 421 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.
What’s changed: There was a sea change in New England this offseason with Mike Vrabel taking over as head coach. The Patriots boast three new offensive line starters and the full-season return of Cole Strange next to lone returner Mike Onwenu. Three new receivers are in the room, and TreVeyon Henderson adds an explosive pass-catcher out of the backfield as well.
2025 Outlook: Maye’s rushing upside gives him some paths to being a fantasy QB1, but this offseason felt more like an establishment step for Maye than a team loading up to take down the AFC East. It’s certainly within the range of outcomes that Maye is just too talented to not overachieve modest expectations. Mike Vrabel’s history as Titans head coach involves never finishing in the top 25 in passing attempts and, should that continue, it caps a lot of the high-end ceiling cases for the second-year quarterback.
