Patriots Beat: Team could be considering switch to QB Drake Maye

Oct 07, 2024

Opinion/analysis: Notable shift in Jerod Mayo's answers regarding QB situation in his day-after-game video conference compared to past weeks. Mayo said last week the way the team won its only game was "unsustainable" and he seems to strongly be considering switch to Drake Maye.

Fantasy Impact:

A big reason for the Pats not wanting to put Maye in at QB is the struggles of the offensive line. But at this point, given the struggles of the entire offense, a change has to at least be considered - and Reiss feels maybe the team is starting to feel the same way. Maye will likely have his struggle as well, but at this point there doesn't seem to be a lot of reason to stick with Brissett.
