From the article

Maye peaked as high as 6 on the list last year, but his playoff performance has to ding him a little. He was certainly a bum slayer off that weak schedule, but tougher opponents made him look a lot more pedestrian.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Maye drops from #6 to #9 due to playoff struggles against tough competition.

Ranked #9 overall; peaked at #6 last year but playoff performance dinged his ranking; benefited from weak schedule as a rookie (bum slayer), but tougher opponents exposed him as more pedestrian; 2026 season opener performance not yet factored into ranking.
