Graff: Maye's confidence looks 'shot'
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Drake Maye's confidence appears to be severely shaken following a poor performance in Week 3 against the Jaguars, marking six consecutive games with negative drop back EPA.
- Maye recorded a 40 percent drop back success rate in the recent game, ranking as the fifth lowest in the league that week.
- Analysts and coaches suggest Maye's struggles are as much mental as physical, with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel advising him to relax and avoid overthinking plays.
- Through Week 3, Maye ranks last in fantasy points per drop back, trailing behind quarterbacks like Daniel Jones and Cam Ward.
- Given his recent form, starting Maye in Week 4 against Buffalo may be unwise if better quarterback options are available on the waiver wire.
