2025 Fantasy Outlook
Maye, the third pick in the 2024 Draft, began last season behind Jacoby Brissett but took over the starting job for good by Week 6. He fought through knee and hand injuries and a concussion, plus he struggled with interceptions (3.0 INT percentage, seventh-highest), but overall he did enough to inspire much hope among the Patriots faithful. Maye’s 72.8 on-target percentage ranked 18th, and his 66.6 completion percentage was 13th. That was built on a lot of short passes, though. His average target depth was 7.3 yards (23rd), with nearly 70 percent of his attempts going less than 10 yards downfield. It’s perhaps surprising Maye’s strong arm wasn’t put to better use, but the Patriots lacked downfield weapons -- well, any weapons -- and the coaching staff was so ineffective that it got flushed after just one season. Proven offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, back in New England for the third time, should greatly benefit Maye, and the Patriots upgraded their roster with free agents WR Stefon Diggs (assuming he’s healthy after an ACL injury last year), RT Morgan Moses and C Garrett Bradbury. They then drafted LT Will Campbell (fourth overall), RB TreVeyon Henderson (38th) and WR Kyle Williams (69th). The latter’s 4.4 speed may give Maye the deep threat he lacked last year. Maye also has good wheels (7.8 YPC on 54 rushes) and loves to scramble, which may be his ticket to establishing value in single-QB leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Better with legs than arm
Maye completed three of five passes for 12 yards in Friday's 48-18 preseason win over the Commanders. He added two rushing attempts for 16 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Maye played two drives. He turned the ball over with a fumble on the first but capped the second with a five-yard rushing touchdown. Maye has posted pedestrian passing stats in his young NFL career, but the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has been an effective scrambler, rushing for 30-plus yards in half of his 12 regular-season starts as a rookie. Maye will look to sharpen his passing in the Patriots' second preseason game against the Vikings on Aug. 16.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Patriots made Maye the third overall pick in this year’s draft, hoping he’s the QB of the future that Mac Jones failed to be. Jones, the 15th overall pick in 2021, was traded in March to Jacksonville. Maye will compete for the starting job with free-agent acquisition Jacoby Brissett. Even if Maye isn’t the Week 1 starter, he likely will be under center at some point. At 6-4, 223, Maye has prototypical size, with a strong and talented arm that can both attack defenses deep and slip balls into tight windows. Scouts praised his vision and anticipation, and he’s an athletic dual threat who rushed for 1,147 yards and 16 TDs his last two years at North Carolina. Maye is a bit of a gunslinger, prone to ill-advised passes, and inconsistent mechanics and poor footwork at times hurt his accuracy, especially on routine short throws. But the Patriots have time to develop that while Brissett handles QB duty. The bigger issue is a lack of playmakers. The WR depth chart is topped by Kendrick Borne, who is coming off an ACL injury, and Demario Douglas, a 2023 sixth-round pick who failed to score last season. Second-round rookie Ja’Lynn Polk might already be the best wide receiver, and tight end Hunter Henry could be the No. 2 target. Maye, however, at least gives the Patriots hope in the post-Belichick era.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Exceedingly sharp early in camp
Maye has yet to throw an interception through seven training camp practices, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year signal-caller has received positive reviews throughout the offseason, and he certainly seems to have carried over the momentum into training camp. Maye got his feet wet in the NFL last season by appearing in 13 games overall and starting 12 of them, and the inexperience that helped lead to 10 interceptions over that span appears to have naturally waned with the valuable rookie reps. Reiss reports Maye's most impressive throw Wednesday was a 35-yard rope to rookie receiver Kyle Williams, who was bracketed by two defenders.
