Best Drake Maye Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Drake Maye O 20.5 Completions (-119)
Maye should have no issues exceeding 20.5 completions vs. the Steelers. The quarterback completed 23 passes vs. the Seahawks last week, and over the last two regular seasons, he is averaging 21 completions per game and has finished with 21+ completions in 9-of-18 games.
Among the quarterbacks who have attempted 50+ passes over the last two seasons, Maye ranks fourth in completion percentage (71.8%). The MVP runner-up from last season faced the Steelers in Week 3 last year, and he completed 28-of-37 passes that day.
Pittsburgh is giving up the fifth-most completions per game (22.6), and this defense is pressuring quarterbacks at the seventh-lowest rate over the last two seasons (35.4%). The Steelers are also using man coverage at the seventh-highest rate over this time (31.9%), which bodes well for Maye, as he ranks third in man coverage completion rate since the start of last season (65%).
