The New England Patriots will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Drake Maye.
Is Drake Maye Playing in Week 10?
Maye is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Patriots’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Maye in Week 10?
That’s now four straight games with a 35+ yard completion and 7+ rush attempts for Maye, who has established himself as a lineup lock capable of producing against any type of defense.
We saw some of his youth on display last week, a bad fumble that left the game tied at halftime, rather than the Patriots laying down the hammer.
Those moments are going to happen, but the good (great) moments have far outweighed those learning moments, and that is why New England’s franchise QB is a fantasy asset that you can get your season on.
Some of Maye’s football maturity was on display last week, as he diagnosed a red-zone third-down situation in which he could have forced the ball into a tight window, but instead opted to move the chains with his legs.
Little moments like that are taking place every week in addition to the splash moments that make the highlight shows.
I still think he’s a wide receiver 1 away from flirting with the top tier at the position, but he’s the next best thing, and given the price you paid this summer, that puts you in a position to compete at the highest level.
Can you take advantage of the value you have in hand and build on it?
