2024 Rookie Report for November: Drake Maye flirts with fantasy relevancy

New England Patriots’ Drake Maye

The highs and lows of watching a new rookie class can bring a lot of fantasy football uncertainty. While it’s fun to have shiny new players to plug into lineups, their immediate usage and trends may not have fantasy managers jumping for joy just yet. Here, I aim to give you an update on how rookies are doing and their fantasy values. A monthly report will provide analysis on these, with November’s providing updates over halfway through the season as roles solidify.

A Week 8 Hail Mary throw (with a little luck to it) was Daniels’ highlight play of the past month, giving the Commanders a victory over Caleb Williams and the Bears. He came back down to earth with 207 total yards and no scores against a good Steelers defense in Week 10, but Daniels still ranks top-eight in fantasy scoring amongst quarterbacks.
