Anthony Richardson got in a full practice on Friday, which points towards him suiting up for Week 6. He comes in as a mid-range QB2 this week, as we still need to see him take care of the football and improve as a passer. Not to mention that he takes on a very stout Tennessee Titans defense. The one thing working in his favor is that it looks like he should have all of his pass catchers, which is a rather unexpected outcome based on reports during the middle of the week concerning Michael Pittman potentially going to IR.
Drake Maye gets his first start of the season in Week 6. He faces one of the most dangerous pass rusher duos in the NFL in the Houston Texans. The third overall pick in the NFL draft does have the benefit of being a mobile, big-bodied player who is more than capable of taking on pressure and big hits. The bad news for Maye is that he will be without Rhamondre Stevenson and has the worst offensive line in the NFL. In 1QB and redraft leagues, he is more of a “wait and see” option, as he comes in as a low-end QB2 in my most updated rankings. Dynasty managers should get excited, though, as Maye presents incredible talent and could be a Josh Allen lite when he gets an improved supporting cast.
