Patriots Encouraged By Drake Maye’s Development; No Timeline For QB Change
Jacoby Brissett remains atop the Patriots’ quarterback depth chart for the time being. It has long been assumed Drake Maye will take over the starting gig at some point in 2024, though, and the first-round rookie continues to draw praise. New England has been “very encouraged” by Maye’s progress so far, Phil


Columnist hints Patriots will soon make big Drake Maye decision
First-year head coach Jerod Mayo insisted earlier this week that veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett gives the New England Patriots (1-2) “the best chance” to earn a win at the San Francisco 49ers (1-2) this coming Sunday.

Ten players who’ll out/underperform projections in Week 4 of 2024 NFL season
PROJECTED POINTS: 18.4 Matt: Burrow finally had a great game, to the tune of 25.4 fantasy points on Monday Night Football! Now he’s an auto-start again, right?! Well … no. That was the first time Burrow topped his projection since November 2023. And it was against the QB-friendly Commanders, who

Mike Evans discusses relationship with Tom Brady
Current Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Baker Mayfield generated headlines when he said earlier this month that some individuals within the organization were “pretty stressed out” and “weren’t having as much fun” when Tom Brady was the club’s QB1 from 2020 through the 2022 season.

‘I’m finally playing ball and having fun with the guys’
Chase is due $4.86 million in 2024, excruciatingly low for a wideout of his caliber. In Year 5 of his contract, that number jumps to $21.816 million. With no deal coming this year, the storyline will reboot in the offseason. Chase sat out training camp practices in an attempt to


‘I’m not a running back’
Cleveland’s offense is bad — 31st in total yards bad — and Watson’s performance has been even worse. Among quarterbacks to start all three games this season, Watson ranks last in passing yards per attempt (4.8), yards per dropback (3.8), success rate (31.9 percent) and sacks taken (16).
