Drake Maye

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Patriots are planning to start Drake Maye at quarterback against the Texans.

Jacoby Brissett’s watch has ended. New England did seem to find an offensive line combination that was more secure in Week 5 when they shifted Mike Onwenu to guard, but Brissett was unable to find much for the offense. Maye should elevate the ceiling of the Patriots offense. He will also likely lower its floor greatly at times. The Texans D/ST should be a popular pick this week for streaming and DFS alike. This move was always going to happen for New England, as they had to gain some clue of what they have in Maye going into the 2025 season and let him build chemistry with younger receivers like Ja’Lynn Polk.
