The New England Patriots will host the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. 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 15?
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 15?
That’s now 10 straight games in which Maye has averaged over eight yards per pass, allowing him to overcome some underwhelming recent rushing numbers (zero rushing scores since September and 13.8 rushing yards per game over his past five).
In those five games, his weekly finish ceiling has been QB9, but he’s been worse than QB13 just once since the opener, and that’s been what has made him valuable in our game. In theory, if you’re going to get a ceiling effort from the second-year QB, this would be it.
He played one complete game against Buffalo last season: multiple passing scores and 42 opportunities (pass-plus-rush attempts). Something like that could well be in the cards this week, and that has me ranking him as an excellent Tier 2 QB this week: you should trust him with your fantasy fate on the line.
