Drake Maye, Romeo Doubs connect on 42-yard TD to put Patriots up 7-3

Drake Maye found Romeo Doubs for a 42-yard touchdown to give the Patriots a 7-3 lead over the Jets on Sunday.

By Cole Hartwell

Drake Maye connected with Romeo Doubs on a 42-yard touchdown to put the New England Patriots ahead of the New York Jets, 7-3, with 4:10 left in the first quarter on Sunday.

What happened

Maye had time to throw on a second down and hit Doubs in the end zone. Doubs stayed on the ground after the play, received medical attention, and then walked to the sideline with trainers.

The Jets scored first at Gillette Stadium. Their opening drive appeared to end with rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper’s first career touchdown catch, but Tim Patrick was called for offensive pass interference while Geno Smith scrambled before the throw. The Jets settled for a field goal, and their next drive stalled after sacks by Milton Williams and Christian Barmore.

Context

Maye finished the game with 18 completions on 32 attempts for 235 yards and three touchdowns, adding 24 rushing yards on four attempts. The Patriots won 26-19.

Maye’s three-touchdown performance follows a Week 5 game in which he threw four touchdowns and had one rushing score in a 45-17 win over the Raiders. He has thrown for 3+ passing touchdowns in three straight games, the first Patriots quarterback to do so since Tom Brady in 2017.

Doubs has 23 targets, 13 receptions, 219 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns through five games this season.

Depth chart

Doubs is listed as RWR2 on the Patriots depth chart.

Drake Maye since Week 4: 3 TDs, 0 INT 4 TDs, 0 INT 3 TDs, 1 INT First Patriots QB with 3+ passing TDs in 3 straight games since Tom Brady (2017).

🏈 Fantasy impact

Drake Maye continues to produce as a low-end QB1 with his third straight game of three or more passing touchdowns. His 18.8 points per game rank him among the top streaming options. Romeo Doubs’ injury is worth monitoring, but his 9.4 PPR points per game and 2 touchdowns this season suggest he is a boom-or-bust flex option when healthy.
