Yahoo Sports NFL on Drake Maye
From the article
last year's QB2 overall, Drake Maye...has not looked good through two weeks...With A.J. Brown sidelined, Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte sound magnificent right now...he has -0.2 fantasy points and a -0.21 EPA/dropback on those same throws...Maye is outside my top 12 this week
STACKED’s take
Maye's downfield EPA has cratered without his top receivers; fade vs. Jaguars.
Last year's QB2 overall has underperformed through two weeks without A.J. Brown, Stefon Diggs, and Kayshon Boutte. On downfield passes (10+ air yards), Maye scored second-most fantasy points last year with elite 0.73 EPA/dropback; through two weeks he has -0.2 fantasy points and -0.21 EPA/dropback on those same throws. Against Jacksonville, the Jaguars held Bo Nix and Deshaun Watson to 14 fantasy points each, and while Maye is better in principle, he has not been better in reality so far. The Patriots have an implied total of 21.25 points, below the median this week. Matt Okada ranks Maye outside his top 12 at QB, behind typical backups and waiver-wire streamers like Drew Lock, Bryce Young, and Tyler Shough.
