Patriots QB Drake Maye went off for 374 yards and 4 TDs in Sunday's blowout win over the Raiders. He's the QB1 for Week 5 entering the Monday nighter.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: An Electric Showing From Maye
Maye hit Sunday shorthanded at WR, with Mack Hollins joining A.J. Brown on the sideline. Still, he dominated a Vegas secondary that entered Week 5 ranked near the middle of the league in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs.
Maye opened the deep-ball fireworks with a 35-yard completion to a wide-open DeMario Douglas. He later connected with Kyle Williams on a pair of beautiful deep passes, including a 34-yard TD. Maye also added a 3-yard rushing score on a designed run.
The Patriots' O-line gave Maye plenty of time to operate, allowing just one sack and an average of 3.10 seconds to throw. Maye took advantage with 11.0 yards per attempt, a 76.5% completion rate, and a league-best +17.5% completion rate over expected.
Brown isn't expected back for Week 6, but Maye remains a no-doubt QB1 for a home matchup with the Jets. He shredded New York for 256 yards and 5 TDs on 19-of-21 passing in their last meeting.
