Maye completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing four times for 14 yards and another score in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals. Maye scored a pair of garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter to help pad his fantasy line, but the rookie couldn't avoid throwing an interception for the sixth week in a row. The North Carolina product now owns a poor 1:3 TD:INT through nine starts as a rookie. Maye could see a bump in projections in a road tilt against the Bills, assuming the Patriots fall behind big early and the weather is tolerable in Buffalo. That said, his value is limited to two-QB formats in Week 16.

Maye completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing four times for 14 yards and another score in Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Cardinals. Maye scored a pair of garbage-time touchdowns in the fourth quarter to help pad his fantasy line, but the rookie couldn't avoid throwing an interception for the sixth week in a row. The North Carolina product now owns a poor 1:3 TD:INT through nine starts as a rookie. Maye could see a bump in projections in a road tilt against the Bills, assuming the Patriots fall behind big early and the weather is tolerable in Buffalo. That said, his value is limited to two-QB formats in Week 16.
Maye completed 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts. He added 59 rushing yards on five carries and threw a two-point conversion. It was a mostly efficient performance from the rookie quarterback, but Maye's red-zone INT late in the third quarter ended up being very costly in a one-point loss. He's been picked off at least once in five straight games, posting a 6:6 TD:INT over that stretch, but growing pains are to be expected from the third overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Maye will get a chance to regroup during the Patriots' Week 14 bye.
Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing five times for 26 yards in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble. Maye's final numbers were serviceable enough to belie some of the difficulties he experienced throughout the afternoon, which included taking four sacks in addition to his pair of turnovers. The rookie couldn't lead the Patriots to any points until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter and he connected with Austin Hooper for a 38-yard touchdown pass, extending his streak of at least one scoring toss to four games. Maye's pair of miscues led to a total of 10 points for the Dolphins, but he'll have a chance at redemption against an inconsistent Colts defense when the Patriots host Indianapolis in Week 13.
Maye completed 30 of 40 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Rams. He also rushed three times for 27 yards and lost a fumble. Maye threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kendrick Bourne in the first quarter and a four-yard touchdown pass to offensive lineman Vederian Lowe in the fourth. This was the third time in six starts that Maye mustered multiple touchdown passes, but the lack of talent around him continues to limit Maye's fantasy upside as he adjusts to the NFL. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has much more value in dynasty and keeper formats than in redraft leagues considering he has as many turnovers as touchdown passes (nine), and Maye's fantasy upside will be limited in a Week 12 matchup against a stingy Dolphins secondary.
Maye completed 15 of 25 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. He added 24 rushing yards on four carries. The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft got the better of Caleb Williams, the first overall pick, in their first career meeting, but neither rookie quarterback sparkled. Maye did account for the only TD of the game however, finding Ja'Lynn Polk for a two-yard score late in the second quarter to put the Patriots in the lead for good. Maye has a 7:5 TD:INT in five games since taking over the starting job at QB, and he'll look to take advantage of a better matchup in Week 11 at home against the Rams.
Maye completed 29 of 41 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. He added eight rushes for 95 yards and lost a fumble. Maye played his part in a sloppy game, losing a fumble that gave the Titans a short field to record the go-ahead touchdown and also throwing the game-clinching pick. On the other hand, he also continued to flash moments of brilliance, highlighted by a five-yard touchdown pass to tie the game as time expired, during which he evaded pressure for several seconds and made the throw as he was being taken to the ground. The majority of his other playmaking came with his legs by tallying long scrambles of 26 and 22 yards. Maye's performance remains inconsistent, but he has shown the ability to lead New England's offense effectively and has been a strong fantasy contributor in the first three starts of his career.
Maye has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. As a result, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft -- who had been listed as questionable after sustaining a concussion last weekend against the Jets -- is line to make his fourth straight start for the Patriots on Sunday, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. With Maye under center, New England's passing game has been able to pick up the pace, but the rookie out of North Carolina profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option while facing the Titans, who head into Week 9 action allowing a league-low 151.6 passing yards per game.
Maye (concussion) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee. Maye was able to handle limited work in all three practices during Week 9 prep, giving him a chance to miss no time as a result of the concussion he sustained this past Sunday against the Jets. Having said that, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up this weekend. At the latest, Maye's status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jacoby Brissett is on hand to start if Maye doesn't pass through the protocol for head injuries.
Head coach Jerod Mayo said that Maye (concussion) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice, but the Patriots haven't yet ruled the quarterback out from playing in Sunday's game against the Titans, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports. Mayo added that Maye remains in the concussion protocol, after the rookie quarterback suffered the head injury on a helmet-to-helmet hit during this past Sunday's win over the Jets. Though Maye was cleared to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, he has yet to increase his activity in the two days that have followed. The Patriots are likely to list Maye as questionable or doubtful for the Week 9 contest when they release their final injury report later Friday, and though Mayo is leaving the door open for the 22-year-old to play Sunday, Jacoby Brissett is probably trending toward starting against the Titans at this point in the week.
