PrintDrake Maye Dynasty Value
QUICK LINKS:
Maye’s arrow pointed straight up following a 2022 breakout.
The first-year starter earned ACC Rookie of the Year and ACC Player of the Year honors. He even cracked the top 10 in Heisman voting.
He followed that with a solid 2023 but didn't elevate his game.
Who’s to blame for that, and what can we reasonably expect for Maye’s future dynasty value?
Let's jump in.
Drake Maye Dynasty Values
| Dynasty 1-qb | 3d value | Dynasty Superflex | 3d value |
| Non-PPR | 38.3 | Non-PPR | 53.9 |
| PPR | 42.3 | PPR | 59.1 |
| TE Premium | 43.9 | TE Premium | 59.4 |

Waiting Behind a Future Pro
A highly sought-after prospect, Maye chose North Carolina over powerhouse programs like Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, and Georgia.
Junior QB Sam Howell started throughout Maye’s freshman campaign. Then, when Howell jumped to the pros in 2022, Maye took the ACC by storm.
From Unknown to Distinguished
In 2022, the 6’4, 220-pounder ranked top-6 nationally in passing yards (4,293) and TDs (38). He excelled in efficiency metrics such as adjusted completion rate (75.4%) and yards per attempt (8.3).
A look beneath the surface only supported his rising stock.
Maye's 8.4% big-time throw rate – a Pro Football Focus stat for downfield, tight-window completions – ranked second among qualifying QBs. And it didn’t come at the expense of turnovers.
In fact, his turnover-worthy play rate rested at 2.4% -- well below the median mark in the same 93-QB sample.
Surely, he’d continue rising as a second-year starter…
2023: A Year Stuck in Neutral
While Maye didn’t build off a breakout 2022, he certainly wasn’t awful.
His yards per attempt, adjusted completion rate, and PFF passing grade all nearly matched his 2022 output.
Watch his tape, though, and you’ll see a greater rate of head-scratching accuracy and decision-making. Maye closed the season with his two worst games: at Clemson and at N.C. State.
Maybe it was growing pains for a still-young passer. Just don’t put every ounce of blame on the 21-year-old.
2023 Was a Year of Change
Drake’s top 2 targets – WRs Josh Downs and Antoine Green – turned pro. Downs shined alongside Maye, accounting for 23.8% of the QB's yards, 27.4% of his completions, and 28.9% of his TDs.
WR Devontez Walker joined in 2023 as an upstart transfer. But he played only eight games following an eligibility battle.
At bottom, Maye wasn’t throwing to a WR corps that resembled what Michael Penix or Jayden Daniels had.
Maye also broke in new OC Chip Lindsey, an outside hire who replaced Phil Longo.
Keep all of that in mind as he enters the NFL.

Drake Maye Highlights
Games watched: Florida A&M (2022), Appalachian State (2022), Oregon (2022), South Carolina (2023), Miami (2023), Duke (2023), UCLA (2023)
Come for the arm talent, stay for Maye's fantasy-friendly rushing ability.
Check out the sizzle behind his enticing pro potential:
NFL Caliber Arm
Maye’s power arm shows up in deep passing and in the zip he generates on shorter throws. He’s capable of laying the ball to all areas of the field, with a clear ability to stretch defenses vertically.
Note: Among 52 qualifiers, Maye ranked third in deep-ball adjusted completion rate, behind only Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix.
Here’s a deep-ball example that shows just the right amount of touch and arm strength.
Maye showed an ability to manipulate defenders with pump fakes and eye movement. Next, we see him force the DB to bite on the RB, opening enough space to drop in a beautiful ball.
Strength in the Pocket
Maye isn’t Josh Allen, but his size clearly helps him evade muddy pockets. He didn't miss a game due to injury at UNC, either.
Rushing Ability = Fantasy Gold
Maye proved effective as a scrambler. He ranked fourth nationally in scramble yards in 2023 and second (behind Jayden Daniels) in 2022.
Across both years, Maye forced 47 missed tackles on scrambles alone.
Dynasty Value Conclusion
Maye sits inside the top 20 of our current dynasty QB rankings.
Not bad considering the depth at that position.
While his game needs polishing, the 21-year-old's combination of arm talent and rushing ability supplies a legit top-10 ceiling within the next few years.
Drake Maye Team Fit: New England Patriots
Maye came off the board as the QB3, behind only Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels.
It was a chalky outcome for a New England squad that entered draft night with Jacoby Brissett atop the depth chart.
But is this a strong fit?
That argument is tough to make, especially with the Pats' current roster construction. Their WR depth turns up Demario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and K.J. Osborn. They'll add a WR (or two) in the draft, but this figures to remain an underwhelming group of weapons in the short term.
