Drake Maye Start or sit, Week 5

This week's outlook

Maye carries no injury concerns into a Raiders matchup, but his recent production leans on legs more than arm, with modest passing totals and one touchdown in each outing. At $6300, he's a cheap dual-threat option; a bigger passing workload or multiple TDs would boost confidence for lineups needing upside.
