From the article

After another interception Sunday, he's already halfway (4) to his entire 2025 interception total (8). Repeating last year's stellar accuracy metrics -- he was the youngest player since the merger to lead the league in completion percentage (72%) -- was an unrealistic ask, but this much regression raises red flags. The Patriots face one of the league's toughest schedules, especially after their Week 11 bye. This isn't to say Maye is a cut in fantasy, but you need a start-worthy partner quarterback if you have him.

Young's 4 INTs in 2 weeks signal regression; tough schedule requires QB handcuff

Young has already thrown 4 interceptions through two weeks, halfway to his entire 2025 interception total of 8. Cockcroft notes that repeating last year's stellar accuracy metrics—Young was the youngest player since the merger to lead the league in completion percentage at 72%—was an unrealistic ask, but this much regression raises red flags. The Patriots face one of the league's toughest schedules, especially after their Week 11 bye. Cockcroft emphasizes this isn't to say Young is a cut in fantasy, but you need a start-worthy partner quarterback if you have him.
