Davis Mills vs Drake Maye: Who Should You Start?

There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Drake Maye (New England Patriots) averaged 21.1 PPG over 17 games in 2025, outscoring Davis Mills (Houston Texans, 11.6 PPG) by 9.5 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

The per-game difference of 9.5 points favors Drake Maye, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.

Drake Maye offers meaningful rushing upside with 450 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Davis Mills (915 passing yards, 5 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.

Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking quarterbacks this deep on your bench, plan your replacement quarterback early.

The Bottom Line

21.1 PPG for Drake Maye versus 11.6 for Davis Mills in 2025. The baseline favors Drake Maye, though the right weekly matchup can flip the script. For a full breakdown that weighs matchup quality, form, and injury reports, try DraftCall's AI comparison engine.
