Both first-year players have shined in limited action, and both players have uphill battles to fight if either hope to be on the field this weekend. Drake Maye was on his way to what looked like a third-straight strong fantasy performance against the Jets before he left the game with his concussion, at which point Jacoby Brissett took over and finished the game. Should Drake Maye miss Week 9 against the Titans, the entire Patriots offense outside of potentially Rhamondre Stevenson would be unstartable. The Titans are one of the toughest matchups for QBs this season and are allowing the fewest pass yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, so fantasy managers would want to stay away from the Pats offense if Drake Maye isn’t able to suit up. As for Tracy, he executed a full takeover of the Giants backfield in Week 8 against the Steelers but suffered a concussion that has his status for this week in question. Considering the injury happened Monday night and it’s a six-day turnaround ahead of his matchup against the Commanders, the odds of him being ready to go are low. Fantasy managers will want to consider alternate options, while Devin Singletary would be worth a look as a low-RB2 if Tracy is sidelined.
