3 Stats That Show Why Drake Maye Should Win MVP

2. 869

Veteran Stefon Diggs leads the team with 869 yards on the season following his dominant game against the Baltimore Ravens. Only one other player has more than 550 yards (Hunter Henry, 663). Diggs has played well for his new team, but he’s not the dominant force he once was. The rest of the depth chart, meanwhile, is comprised of solid-but-not-special players like Henry, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Demario Douglas.

Compare this supporting cast to Matthew Stafford, the primary competition to Drake Maye’s MVP campaign. While Stafford is having a legitimately great season, having weapons like Puka Nacua and Davante Adams makes life a little easier. Frankly, the disparity in the supporting casts makes Maye’s season all the more impressive.
