2026 Fantasy Outlook
Maye’s first full season as a starter went better than even Patriots fans imagined. He finished QB2 in fantasy, was second in MVP voting and took New England to the Super Bowl. Maye’s league-leading 72.0 completion percentage was the sixth highest in NFL history, all the more impressive considering his average target depth was 9.1 yards -- the highest of any QB in the top 20 all-time for completion rate. Maye threw 10-plus yards downfield at the fifth-highest rate in the league (37.2%), also ranking third in completion percentage on attempts of 20-plus yards (52.1%). He led the league with 8.9 YPA, solidly ahead of second-place Sam Darnold (8.5 YPA). In addition to finishing fourth in passing yards (4,394) and third in TD passes (31), Maye's rushing production vaulted him up the fantasy rankings. He was fourth among QBs with 450 rushing yards, adding four scores. He benefited from an easy schedule, however. The Patriots didn’t face a top-10 defense until the playoffs, and in the Super Bowl against the league’s best defense, Maye got smoked. He’ll play a first-place schedule this year, but his rushing production should hold up since nearly all of it came from his league-high 62 scrambles (he also had the highest scramble rate - 10.3%). The A.J. Brown trade will help mitigate regression, not only in terms of passing stats but also for the Patriots in general. The team also signed Romeo Doubs, ensuring solid depth behind Brown even though Stefon Diggs has moved on. Maye is good enough and mobile enough to maintain his place among the top-five fantasy QBs even without a perfect situation around him, but that might require more volume to account for the difficulty of matching last year's blistering efficiency.

RANKS
Signed a four-year, $36.64 million contract with the Patriots in May of 2024.Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 269 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding eight rushes for 54 yards in the Patriots' 29-26 win over the Bills on Sunday. He threw a two-point conversion pass and committed three fumbles, losing one and recovering the other two.
ANALYSIS
Maye's eclectic stat line was reflective of New England's topsy-turvy win, during which the Patriots overcame a 17-7 halftime deficit and recorded the game-winning touchdown with 1:50 remaining to seal the comeback victory. The previously embattled 2024 first-round pick's day started off in positive fashion with a 14-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs to cap off New England's first possession, and he went back to Doubs from two yards out in the third quarter to bring New England within three. However, the Patriots were in danger of falling to 1-3 on the season when they found themselves down 26-21 as late as the two-minute warning, but Maye was able to connect with Efton Chism for a 23-yard scoring strike the young receiver snared with one hand down the right sideline with 1:50 remaining and then completed a two-point conversion pass to Rhamondre Stevenson. Maye's performance was a much-needed bounce-back effort after he went into the day having thrown for no more than 208 yards in any of his first three games while generating a 1:6 TD:INT. He'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 5 home showdown against the surprisingly resurgent Raiders next Sunday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Maye, the third pick in the 2024 Draft, began last season behind Jacoby Brissett but took over the starting job for good by Week 6. He fought through knee and hand injuries and a concussion, plus he struggled with interceptions (3.0 INT percentage, seventh-highest), but overall he did enough to inspire much hope among the Patriots faithful. Maye’s 72.8 on-target percentage ranked 18th, and his 66.6 completion percentage was 13th. That was built on a lot of short passes, though. His average target depth was 7.3 yards (23rd), with nearly 70 percent of his attempts going less than 10 yards downfield. It’s perhaps surprising Maye’s strong arm wasn’t put to better use, but the Patriots lacked downfield weapons -- well, any weapons -- and the coaching staff was so ineffective that it got flushed after just one season. Proven offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, back in New England for the third time, should greatly benefit Maye, and the Patriots upgraded their roster with free agents WR Stefon Diggs (assuming he’s healthy after an ACL injury last year), RT Morgan Moses and C Garrett Bradbury. They then drafted LT Will Campbell (fourth overall), RB TreVeyon Henderson (38th) and WR Kyle Williams (69th). The latter’s 4.4 speed may give Maye the deep threat he lacked last year. Maye also has good wheels (7.8 YPC on 54 rushes) and loves to scramble, which may be his ticket to establishing value in single-QB leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Throws game-losing INT late
Maye threw three interceptions as part of an ugly performance in Wednesday's 13-10 loss to the Seahawks, per Nick Shook of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
New England capitalized on some favorable officiating to take a 10-0 lead early in the third quarter, as Maye threw a two-yard touchdown pass one play after a 34-yard pass interference penalty on Josh Jobe in the second quarter, and the Patriots tacked on a field goal on the first drive after halftime following a drive-extending roughing the punter penalty. Wide receiver A.J. Brown exited with an ankle injury on that possession, and Maye struggled the rest of the way. All three of the Patriots' fourth-quarter drives ended with Maye interceptions. The last pick was particularly egregious, as Jobe got the last laugh by snagging an inexcusable off-balance underthrow from Maye in the end zone while the Patriots were well within range for a game-tying field-goal attempt in the final minute. Maye didn't throw multiple interceptions in any game during the 2025 regular season, though he had the benefit of facing one of the easiest schedules in NFL history.
