Patriots are one smart offseason swing from a top-tier backfield for Drake Maye
"The New England Patriots have made huge steps offensively this season, specifically through the air. Drake Maye has ascended to be one of the top quarterbacks in all of football, and previously pedestrian receivers have broken out as a result. Stefon Diggs has been one of the top free agent additions at any position, Kayshon Boutte has thrived as a deep threat, and Mack Hollins has offered plenty of versatility. Hunter Henry is also on pace for a career year."
"Since his game against the Browns, his second-ever game with 10+ career carries, he's been unstoppable, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. @TreVeyonH4 has been a different animal since the Browns game. Before: 43 att / 153 yds / 1 TD / 3.6 YPC / 16 Catches Since: 100 att / 620 yds / 6 TD / 6.2 YPC / 18 Catches He's playing at a 1,500-yard pace over his last seven games."
"In their Week 1 performance against the Raiders, running backs had 13 carries for 45 yards (3.5 YPC), and the team scored only 13 points. Two weeks later, they'd face the Steelers, scoring 14 points. Their running backs totaled 22 carries for 74 yards in that game, or 3.4 a carry. The trend continued against the Bills in their first matchup, when the backs had 19 carries for 59 yards, or 3.1 per carry."
The Patriots' aerial attack has surged, with Drake Maye emerging among the league's top quarterbacks and multiple receivers breaking out. Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Hunter Henry have provided game-changing receiving production and versatility. The running back room has shown uneven results but has improved recently, largely due to TreVeyon Henderson's breakout stretch and efficiency spike. Henderson has averaged 6.2 yards per carry since a turning-point game and has multiple 145+ yard outings. Rhamondre Stevenson also produced an efficient outing recently, yet the unit's earlier struggles in key games undermined offensive output.
