2024 Fantasy Outlook
Zappe returns to the Patriots for his third season, but this year he’s likely third quarterback on the roster. The Patriots signed Jacoby Brissett and drafted Drake Maye third overall, relegating Zappe to fighting for scraps with sixth-round rookie Joe Milton. Zappe began last year on the practice squad only to end up starting six games. If that happens again, things will have really gone off the rails in New England. Among 35 QBs with at least 200 attempts, Zappe ranked 30th in on-target percentage (68.4) and 33rd in completion percentage (59.9), with six TD passes and nine interceptions. It’s possible he goes to practice squad again or is traded if the team choose Milton to be the emergency QB. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Serving as emergency QB
Zappe (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as Cleveland's emergency third quarterback.
ANALYSIS
Zappe won't count against the gameday roster maximum, but he can enter the game if Jameis Winston and Dorian Thompson-Robinson are injured during the contest.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
As a rookie, Zappe started two games while starter Mac Jones dealt with an ankle injury, and overall the 2022 fourth-rounder out of Western Kentucky recorded 65 completions on 92 pass attempts for 781 yards with five TDs and three picks in four appearances. Given that coach Bill Belichick hasn't specifically endorsed Jones as the Patriots' starter this coming season, there's been some speculation that Zappe could make a run at the job as Week 1 approaches. That said, a more plausible scenario is that Jones gets an opportunity to get back on track after an uneven 2022 campaign. If, however, the 2021 first-rounder falters or suffers an injury in his third season as a pro, Zappe would be next in line to handle the reins.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On roster bubble
Following Thursday's preseason win over the Panthers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site has Zappe losing out on a spot on the final 53-man roster.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots' top two quarterbacks are locked in with veteran Jacoby Brissett and 2024 third overall pick Drake Maye, leaving the battle for QB3 between Zappe and rookie sixth-rounder Joe Milton. Lazar relays that Milton's arm strength and talent upside outweighs the experience Zappe would bring as an emergency option. If Zappe is indeed on his way out of New England, the Patriots could look to trade the third-year quarterback to a team in need of a backup or emergency option.
