New England Patriots star Drake Maye was an elite performer at the quarterback position in 2025, and his forecast for next season shows profitability in the fantasy football world.
According to NFL.com’s Dan Parr in his fantasy football quarterback rankings for the 2026 season, Maye was ranked No. 3 overall in the second tier of players at the position.
“It seems trendy to count out the Patriots before the 2026 season even starts, given how Super Bowl losers have traditionally fallen off the following year,” Parr said. “I'm not going to predict a face-plant for Drake Maye in Year 3, not after New England strengthened his weaponry with the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Allen was the only QB to score more fantasy points than Maye in 2025.”
Given the fact that Maye was already a fantasy football superstar last season, coupled with the fact that he has much more talent at his disposal in the Patriots’ offense for next season, he figures to have another elite year in 2026.
The All-Pro quarterback helped lead the Patriots on an improbable run up to the Super Bowl last season and placed second behind Matthew Stafford in NFL MVP voting. He finished his second year in the NFL with 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions, along with a league-high 72.0 completion percentage. The 23-year-old standout also rushed for 450 yards and four touchdowns.
Having more experience entering his third season in the league will likely lead to increased production from Maye, making him as good a quarterback to draft this year as there is in the league.
