Quarterback
Drake Maye, Patriots (16%)
Maye has made two starts this year. He is averaging 20.1 fantasy points per game in those games which is the fourth-highest mark for a quarterback with multiple starts. Maye has five touchdowns plus 56 yards on the ground over the past two weeks. Most importantly, the Pats started to open up their offense on Sunday. Week 7 was their first game of the year with a positive pass rate over expected.

Maye gets a tough matchup with the Jets this week but remains the best streaming option if you missed the boat on Sam Darnold, Geno Smith, and other early-season adds at the position.
Russell Wilson, Steelers (7%)

Wilson even plunged in a one-yard touchdown, a play that would have been for Fields if he was going to get on the field in any capacity. He averaged 10.5 adjusted yards per attempt, his highest mark since Week 18 of the 2022 season. Wilson gets a Giants defense in Week 8 that ranks 20th in EPA per dropback allowed and has given up the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks.

Winston was a healthy scratch in favor of Dorian Thompson-Robinson last week, but DTR went down with a finger injury late in the game and did not return. Winston is all but guaranteed to get the start in Week 8. The Browns lead the NFL in dropbacks over the past season and a half. We saw what that could do for a gunslinger quarterback when Joe Flacco took over in 2023. Flacco averaged 321 yards and 2.3 passing touchdowns per game across six starts (including the playoffs).
