From the article

Maye pushed Allen for the top quarterback spot, falling just 0.9 PPG behind. There was a separation between Maye (21.1 PPG) and Williams' scoring (19 PPG), and Daniels is coming off an injury season. Perhaps the market wants to see Maye do it again, but a seven-year age difference suggests that when the flip happens, it will be permanent.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

21.1 PPG nearly matches Allen; seven-year age gap favors long-term buy.

Maye scored 21.1 PPG in dynasty scoring, falling just 0.9 PPG behind Josh Allen despite Allen's track record as the top fantasy QB. The source argues that if two players are scoring similarly, it is worth getting ahead of the age difference; Maye is seven years younger than Allen, suggesting that when the ranking flip happens, it will be permanent. The source notes that Allen's continued ranking advantage may stem from track record, the sour taste Maye left in the Super Bowl, or separation from 2024 classmates Caleb Williams (19 PPG) and Jayden Daniels (coming off injury).
