BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye made his first career start last week against the Texans. The rookie threw for 243 yards and three touchdowns while also running for 38 yards on the ground. Now, Maye gets a great matchup in Week 7 against a Jaguars defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season.
Jacksonville has allowed a top-12 fantasy quarterback in all six games, and three different quarterbacks (Tua Tagovailoa, C.J. Stroud, and Joe Flacco) have thrown for over 300 yards against that secondary this season. So, Maye is a sneaky QB1 option in 14-plus team leagues in Week 7.

The Jaguars haven't been able to stop quarterbacks through the air through the first six weeks, and Maye showed a ton of promise last week in his first career start. That makes the rookie a sneaky start in one-quarterback leagues and a must-start in most Superflex formats.
