The New England Patriots beat the New York Giants 33-15 as Drake Maye continued his potential MVP campaign with two touchdown passes.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye played a clean game, efficiently completing 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards and two scores. This was Maye’s ninth game of the season with at least two passing touchdowns.
TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson evenly split the backfield work. Henderson had 12 carries for 67 yards plus three catches for 19 yards while Stevenson rushed 11 times for 40 yards and added four catches for another 40 yards. Tight end Hunter Henry lead the pass catchers with four receptions for 73 yards.
Maye continues to play exceptionally well in his second season, Henderson and Stevenson are going to pilfer touches away from each other but both are safe flex options right now.

Drake Maye throws for three touchdowns as the Patriots defeat the Browns
Drake Maye threw three second-half touchdown passes as the Patriots rolled past the Browns despite a five-sack game from Myles Garrett. Maye finished the day 18 for 24 passing for 282 yards and three touchdowns while adding 50 yards with his legs.
Maye has now finished as a top 10 quarterback in three straight weeks, and don’t look now, but the New England Patriots are on a five-game win streak. Maye connected with Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry in the game. It has become a trend where Maye doesn’t lock onto one wide receiver but still creates viable options for fantasy managers. If Maye continues to play the way he is now, he will be in the conversation for MVP.

Maye throws three touchdown passes and the Patriots go on to defeat the New Orleans Saints 25-19
“It feels good getting in the win column consistently,” Maye said, complimenting his receivers. “It was good to hit some deep shots and those guys, they made some great plays.” Maye went 18/26 for 261 yards and three touchdowns while adding 28 yards on the ground. Drake Maye has undoubtedly taken a step towards being considered an elite asset in all fantasy formats, ranked as QB5 on the season and averaging almost 21ppg.
Louisiana native, Kayshon Boutte, made the most of his first opportunity to play in the Superdome, racking up 93 yards and two touchdowns on five receptions. That’s the type of performance that can guarantee the 40 family and friends he purchased tickets for went home happy. This young Patriots team continues to gel and don’t look now, but they’re first in the AFC East. While they don’t have a prototypical number one receiver for Drake Maye, Stefon Diggs, Demario Douglas, and Boutte have all contributed to the season’s success.

Josh Allen wins the fantasy battle, but Drake Maye wins in the standings as the Patriots defeat the Bills 23-20 on Sunday Night Football.
The Patriots picked up a huge divisional game on the road against the Buffalo Bills. Of note, the quarterback matchup was set up to be a preview of things to come.
While the Patriots came away the victors, Josh Allen had the better day for fantasy football. Heading into Monday Night football, Allen is the QB11 (19.42 fantasy points) to Maye’s QB22 (12.12 fantasy points). Maye would have had a better day, however in close to the goal line, the Patriots opted to run with Rhamondre Stevenson who scored 2 touchdowns.
Stefon Diggs scorched the Bills secondary for a 10-146 line on 12 targets. Tight end Dalton Kincaid feasted for a 6-108 line on the Bills side. There will be plenty of fantasy goodness from these teams for the foreseeable future. Allen remains at the top of dynasty quarterback rankings, but the gap is getting closer as Maye finds his groove in year 2.

The New England Patriots defeat the Carolina Panthers 42-13.
The Patriots quarterback Drake Maye finished the day 14-17 for 203 passing yards and 2 passing touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown. Maye had some help from his special teams as Marcus Jones returned a punt 87 yards to the house and another huge return gave a short field for the offense. Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson and running back Antonio Gibson each added a rushing touchdown also.
The Panthers had a massive let down this week after shutting out the Atlanta Falcons last week. Bryce Young didnt have any interception but he could not connect on a bunch of plays with players who were open. Young finished the day with 18 completions on 30 attempts for 150 yards and 1 touchdown. The lone touchdown from Young went to 2nd string tight end Tommy Tremble. Kicker Ryan Fitzgerald missed the PAT and came up hilariously short on a 55 yard field goal.
Drake Maye is top 10 quarterback in fantasy due to his dual ability to run and throw, he is currently QB6 on the season averaging 21.1 points per game. Maye’s most consistent target is tight end Hunter Henry who TE3 so far with 13.8 points per game. Both players are must starts every week. As for the running backs, the Patriots are a 3 back committee making it hard to rely on a certain player but rookie TreVeyon Henderson is starting to earn more playing time and looking like the most explosive player.
As for the Panthers, rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is the only player worth starting in fantasy as he has a 24.3% target share. The touchdowns will come and he will be even more attractive start down the road. The running game is split between Chuba Hubbard and Rico Dowdle with neither player being good enough to reliably start.

The Miami Dolphins put up more than 8 points this week but still got beat by division rival New England Patriots.
The New England Patriots earned their first win of the season Sunday, edging out the Miami Dolphins 33-27 in a back-and-forth battle at Hard Rock Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Drake Maye delivered a sharp performance, completing 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns, he also added 31 yards on the ground and adding a score too. Rhamondre Stevenson had the most on the ground for the Patriots with 54 yards, while averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Stevenson was also involved in the receiving game having 5 catches for 88 yards. It was a big day for Stevenson, all while rookie running back Treveyon Henderson only played on 32% of snaps.
New England’s special teams provided a game-changing moment when Antonio Gibson returned a kickoff 90-yards for a touchdown. This was one play after Dolphins’ Malik Washington returned a 74-yard punt return for a touchdown. Both team’s special teams provided back-to-back blows, but ultimately Patriots edge out Dolphins.
For the Dolphins they did provide more offense than they did in Week 1 woes. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for over 300 yards and two scores. The Dolphins running game once again could get going on the ground, De’Von Achane rushed 11 times for just 30 yards, however, Achane provided a spark in the receiving game having 8 grabs for 92 yards and touchdown. Also, in the receiving game we got vintage Tyreek Hill going for 109 yards on 6 catches. Jaylen Waddel was another player who contributed to the receiving game, hauling in 5 catches for 68 yards and score.
The Patriots improve to 1-1 with the victory, while the Dolphins drop to 0-2, and still searching for their first win of the season.
