Team Totals: Patriots 23, Raiders 20.5
Drake Maye is a sophomore breakout candidate whose lift-off could begin immediately versus a severely undermanned Raiders defense whose lone quality starter is EDGE Maxx Crosby. A Josh Allen-comparable dual threat, Maye got supporting-cast reinforcements this offseason in No. 4 overall pick LT Will Campbell, No. 1 WR Stefon Diggs, RB TreVeyon Henderson, and OC Josh McDaniels. Maye is a sexy Weeks 1-2 streamer against the lowly defenses of the Raiders and Dolphins. … Henderson’s dynamic preseason skyrocketed his ADP, but Rhamondre Stevenson won’t disappear without a fight as a 231-pound grinder with chain-moving and goal-line value. The Patriots are home favorites here against the league’s least-talented defense. Albeit with touchdown dependency, Stevenson is flex viable. … Scouts considered Henderson the best pass-pro back in 2025’s draft. I think he will out-snap Stevenson in Week 1 and further distance himself as the year moves along.
