Jacoby Brissett struggled early in the season with the Patriots, which impacted DeMario Douglas's performance. However, since Brissett was benched in favor of Maye, Douglas has improved, averaging 4.2 receptions on 5.8 targets for 40.6 receiving yards per game. This change has helped boost Douglas's fantasy value.

Jacoby Brissett has been benched in favor of rookie Drake Maye, who has taken over as the starting quarterback for the Patriots. Brissett's struggles contributed to the team's offensive woes, which have persisted throughout the season. As a result, the Patriots are looking for a spark from Maye, who has shown some promise but has also faced challenges typical of a rookie quarterback.

Jacoby Brissett started the first five games of the season for the Patriots, securing only one win with a 1-4 record. His struggles led to the decision to switch to rookie quarterback Drake Maye, who has since taken over the starting role. Brissett did manage to contribute to the team's second win of the season in Week 8 while Maye was sidelined due to injury.

Drake Maye's positive development as the New England Patriots' rookie quarterback could position him as a stronger contender than Aaron Rodgers in the AFC East. If Maye continues to progress, Rodgers might find himself ranked as the fourth-best quarterback in the division.
