NFL Fantasy - The Athletic on Drake Maye
From the article
Maye's ranks among all quarterbacks on passes 20+ air yards (min. 500 attempts total): EPA/DB: 2nd, 1.22; TD/Att: 2nd, 22.5%; it actually improves his argument to be alongside Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson as the top QB off the board
STACKED’s take
Elite downfield stats and A.J. Brown trade bolster Maye's case as top-5 QB
Since starting his first game, Maye ranks 2nd among all QBs on passes 20+ air yards (min. 500 attempts) in EPA/DB (1.22) and TD/Att (22.5%), 4th in Comp% (42.5%), and 2nd in TD/INT (4.5). For 2025 only, he ranks 2nd in EPA/DB (1.48), 4th in TD/Att (21.7%), 3rd in Comp% (47.8%), and 2nd in TD/INT (5.0). Adding A.J. Brown—a true alpha wideout and terrific touchdown/end-zone threat—to his previous top downfield option Kayshon Boutte (35.4 TmTGT%) will help Maye avoid regression. With an expected shift from 52.7% pass rate to ~55/45 run-pass split, Maye's elite downfield performance improves his argument to be alongside Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson as the top QB off the board in fantasy drafts.
