Drake Maye or Aaron Rodgers: who should I start in Week 5?
Both players' season market price, their usage this season and their last full season's numbers, with the draft market's own figures wherever it still has them.
Updated Oct 7, 2026 at 7:31 PM ET
Neither is in the consensus draft sample any more, and the market has not posted a whole price on Aaron Rodgers, so there is no current market order to give between these two. What follows is what each of them has already done.

Where the draft room stands
Drafters have formed no consensus on Drake Maye: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 64th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Drafters have formed no consensus on Aaron Rodgers: he carries no ADP, and the board ranks him 94th overall on the rest of his evidence.
What the player markets price
The player markets price Drake Maye at 18.3 PPR points a game, built from 5 markets across 17 market sources. That is the 14th highest figure of the 183 players the market prices.
The market has Aaron Rodgers at 16.3 PPR points a game off 4 markets across 17 market sources. That is 80 percent of what a quarterback's price needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Aaron Rodgers's price is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
