Drake Maye Dynasty Fantasy Football Outlook

Drake Maye has been a revelation for the New England Patriots. He’s already in MVP consideration as a second-year player, and is doing it while throwing to Stefon Diggs post-ACL tear and Demario Douglas. For Drake Maye dynasty managers, he was likely part of a championship this season. For people playing against him this year, that’s a tough way to lose. Good luck next year. Let’s take a look at Drake Maye’s current dynasty price, situation, and project what to do with him moving forward.

Drake Maye Dynasty Fantasy Football Outlook

Drake Maye Dynasty Price

Maye is currently valued as the QB2 on fantasycalc, a site that takes real-time trades from dynasty leagues to formulate a player’s value. He’s also the QB2 in my rankings, with a very strong argument to be the QB1 already. In superflex leagues, he is the fourth most valuable asset behind Josh Allen, Ja’Marr Chase, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. After a five-touchdown outing this week, that price is likely to climb over the offseason.

Drake Maye Current Situation

What’s fascinating about Drake Maye is that he’s doing this surrounded by a C+ supporting cast. His offensive line is solid, not great. Also, his receivers are getting the job done, but many doubted how much this receiver corps could make an impact. Altogether, the Patriots were ranked #32 in preseason support for Drake Maye heading into 2025. What Maye is accomplishing with this supporting cast is nothing short of astounding, and the situation can only improve heading into 2026.

Drake Maye Fantasy History

With only two years in the league, his history is short and sweet. In 2025, Drake Maye finished the fantasy football season as the QB2 in total points and the QB2 in points per game, pending the Los Angeles Rams game. 21.1 points per game is nothing to scoff at. As a rookie, Drake Maye was the QB29 in points per game, but that’s misleading. It’s bogged down by three games where he played less than a third of the snaps. In full games played, he was outstanding as a rookie with over 17 points per game.

What to do With Drake Maye in Dynasty

This is typically broken down for teams based on their performance. Rebuilding, middle of the pack, or contending are the three categories that make sense. But for Drake Maye, the rules don’t matter, and the advice is fairly straightforward. For teams with Josh Allen, tiering “down” to Drake Maye will keep your team younger with a similar ceiling and much more longevity. If the manager in your league who has Drake Maye is willing to part with him, there aren’t many prices that would be considered too high to acquire him.

Maye just showed he can be an MVP-caliber player while working with one of the worst supporting casts in the league at 23 years old. If the team addresses receiver or offensive line in the draft this year, his price will go up. If dynasty managers realize just how good a season Maye had, his price will go up. If his wife creates another cool baking video, his price will increase. Trying to get ahead of the curve and acquire Maye early in the offseason or by taking him early in startups is a way to stay ahead.
