From the episode

Drake May was the number two quarterback in points per game last year... he could hypothetically maintain fantasy dominance with fewer positive game scripts.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Maye could remain a fantasy force if game scripts force more passing volume.

Despite being the QB2 in PPG last year, Drake Maye struggled with fourth-quarter scoring (2.9 PPG). JJ Zachariason suggests he could maintain fantasy dominance even with efficiency regression if the Patriots face tougher game scripts leading to more passing.
