Fantasy football: Why Drake Maye can be a top-10 QB in 2025
Briefly

Drake Maye was introduced as the starting quarterback for the Patriots in Week 6 of the 2024 season. Over 11 games he threw for 2,254 yards, achieving 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, coupled with 409 rushing yards. Maye's performance earned him an average of 16.0 fantasy points per game. With significant offseason acquisitions, particularly wideout Stefon Diggs, who has a strong track record, and other new offensive talents, he is positioned to improve his fantasy draft value, currently rated at 18th among quarterbacks in ESPN leagues.
In 11 starts from Week 6 to Week 17, Maye threw for 2,254 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, while adding 409 rushing yards and two rushing scores.
Maye has all the makings of a top-10 fantasy quarterback, entering a far better offensive situation with a dual-threat skill set.
The biggest offseason addition for the Patriots is Stefon Diggs, a proven wideout who should immediately elevate Maye's passing ceiling.
Maye's current average draft position of 152.3 in ESPN leagues ranks 18th amongst quarterbacks, indicating he deserves serious attention in fantasy drafts.
