The Patriots are rounding into form behind rookie QB Drake Maye, who has been on fire lately, and they’ll look to capitalize on a Jets defense that’s starting to spring leaks. Expect New England to control this one and win comfortably by multiple scores.

📰 Game Preview
The New York Jets have fought tooth and nail to string together two straight wins, but this week, the road gets rough against a surging New England Patriots squad.
Meanwhile, New York continues to fight injuries and inconsistency on offense, especially with Garrett Wilson listed as doubtful. The Jets will lean heavily on Breece Hall, but that may not be enough to keep pace with the Patriots’ renewed offensive rhythm.
🚑 Injuries to Monitor
• Kayshon Boutte (NE) – Limited participant (ankle)
• Garrett Wilson (NYJ) – Doubtful (shoulder)
⭐️ Starts
Drake Maye – QB, Patriots
Maye has thrown 7 touchdowns over his last three games, displaying poise and command of the offense. Against a Jets defense that’s been shredded for 20 points by Cleveland and 38 by Cincinnati, he’s set up for another multi-score day. Lock him in as a strong QB1 option this week.
TreVeyon Henderson – RB, Patriots
Henderson has seized the lead-back role and run with it. He’s scored in back-to-back weeks and has been heavily featured in both the run and short-pass game. He’s an RB2 with upside and could easily punch in another touchdown.

Stefon Diggs – WR, Patriots 💪
While his yardage totals haven’t been gaudy, Diggs continues to find the end zone. He’s a solid flex or WR2 play in deeper leagues thanks to red-zone chemistry with Maye.
Mack Hollins – WR, Patriots 💪 Sleeper
Hollins has quietly become a big-play threat with back-to-back strong outings (100 and 80 yards). If you’re looking for a sneaky flex in deeper formats, Hollins has breakout potential this week.
🪑 Sits
Rhamondre Stevenson – RB, Patriots
Stevenson’s role has evaporated with Henderson’s emergence. Combine that with recent fumbles and low efficiency, and he’s an easy sit candidate until further notice.
Justin Fields – QB, Jets
Fields has talent, but this isn’t the matchup for it. With Garrett Wilson likely out, Fields will be throwing to an uninspiring supporting cast against a disciplined Patriots defense. He’s best left on the bench this week.
💚 Start of the Game

Breece Hall – RB, Jets
The lone bright spot for New York, Hall continues to produce even when the Jets’ offense sputters. His ability in both the run and passing game keeps his floor safe, and he’s the only Jet you can start with confidence. Expect one touchdown and solid yardage in this matchup.

Prediction:
Patriots 27, Jets 13
New England continues their hot streak, Maye shines again, and the Jets are left searching for answers.
