How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Maye scores 20.6 standard points a game, QB2 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 15.8 and 25.8; 4 boom weeks (25+) and 0 busts (under 12).
Maye scores 20.7 half-PPR points a game, QB2 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 15.8 and 25.8; 4 boom weeks (25+) and 0 busts (under 12).
Maye scores 20.7 PPR points a game, QB2 of 35 QBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 15.8 and 25.8; 4 boom weeks (25+) and 0 busts (under 12).
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the QB12 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He pushes the ball downfield: 16% of his attempts travel 20 yards or more (league 11%). He runs when it breaks down: 10% of his dropbacks end in a scramble (league 5%). Almost no RPOs: 1% of his dropbacks (league 2%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own dropbacks, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying quarterbacks; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Maye's +177.4 EPA is 1st of 56 quarterbacks. The biggest share comes after the catch (+216.8, 37th percentile per dropback). His air yards rank in the 97th percentile (+166.2). Runs cost him more than most (-20.2, 4th percentile).
career -0.07 over 2024 · the best of his 2 seasons so far
How this is measured
Every dropback and run this season, split by what happened. Completions divide at the catch: the yards in the air, and his credited share of what came after (nflverse's air EPA and QB EPA). Per dropback counts scrambles as dropbacks. The percentile is him among the qualifying quarterbacks, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 50 attempts.
He throws deep middle 1.6× as often as the league (3% of his attempts against 2%) and gains +1.08 EPA a throw there.
How this is measured
Every pass attempt with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three throws show no EPA.

Dropbacks are steady: 29 a game over his last three against 31.7 for the season. At or above a starter's median in yards in 14 of 17 games. EPA / dropback is rising too: +0.62 over the last three.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 32nd-toughest slate vs the pass: his opponents rank 19.9 of 32 on average (league middle 16.7).
