Maye's shocking slump to open the year is partially explained by the A.J. Brown injury — and the Patriots probably screwed up giving away Kayshon Boutte before the year — but there's more at play here. Maye's struggled with pocket movement and decision-making, leading to a slew of sacks and turnovers. He's been less proactive running this year, and OC Josh McDaniels hasn't been creative with answers. It's frustrating to bench Maye given what you paid for him in August, but it's possible you might have landed a decent backup option who's now ostensibly your starter.

Maye's pocket struggles and decision-making warrant benching despite draft cost.

Maye's shocking slump to open the year is partially explained by the A.J. Brown injury and the Patriots trading away Kayshon Boutte before the year, but there's more at play; Maye has struggled with pocket movement and decision-making, leading to sacks and turnovers, and has been less proactive running this year while OC Josh McDaniels hasn't been creative with answers. It's frustrating to bench Maye given August draft cost, but he may have become a decent backup option who's now ostensibly your starter; a prove-it game is needed before he comes off the restricted list, and comeback might not happen until Brown is ready.
