The New England Patriots will face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Drake Maye.
Is Drake Maye Playing in Week 13?
Maye is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Drake Maye in Week 13?
Maye shows flashes of potential seemingly every week, but stringing together 60 strong minutes has proven to be a tough ask. The rookie hasn’t finished better than QB15 since Week 7 and that’s the general range in which I have him ranked for this home game.
The Colts own the second-lowest deep touchdown rate allowed (1.3% of attempts) while posting the sixth-highest interception rate on such passes. If they aren’t vulnerable down the field on Sunday, I’m having a hard time thinking that Maye dinks and dunks his way to viability.
You might be able to talk me into Maye as a viable streaming option in Week 15 (at Arizona after the bye week), but I’ll pass for Week 13.
