Fantasy managers who drafted Drake Maye in their dynasty leagues may wrinkle their noses at this report, as it appears that he could be trending towards a scenario where his first career start comes after Week 1 in 2024. The Patriots reunited with capable backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett this offseason, handing him the reigns to the offense in the spring. It appears that he’s primed to hold onto that No. 1 QB job heading into training camp, as well; that is, assuming that Maye doesn’t knock the socks off of the New England coaching staff in the next few weeks. At any rate, it’s hard to expect a whole lot from the Patriots offense as a unit in real life and for fantasy purposes – regardless of who’s under center, it’s unlikely that either Patriots signal caller will be rostered, let alone starting, in both 1QB and even 2QB formats. The Patriots added young new weapons in Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in this year’s draft, but neither addition is likely to push the needle enough to make Maye a consistent weekly starter. He’ll have appeal thanks to some sneaky rushing upside, though – however, it’ll be tough pull the trigger on that speculative value bearing in mind that he might not be on the field to begin the year.
