It seems the reports of Drake Maye's demise were greatly exaggerated.
The New England Patriots quarterback struggled through the first three weeks of the season with just one touchdown pass and six interceptions. But he's come back to life the past two games with seven TD passes and just one pick.
Maye was on fire against the Raiders in Week 5, throwing for 374 yards and adding a rushing score. Even more encouraging, top wideout A.J. Brown is eligible to be activated off injured reserve this week. Feel free to lock Maye in your lineup the rest of the season.
ON BYE: Cincinnati, Detroit, Miami, Minnesota
