Sharp take
Sharp SixBenchA rankings column is a list, not new information. Maye has put up 14.6 and 11.1 in two weeks and is rostered in every league that charges an entry fee, so he is a matchup-dependent QB2 whether or not a national outlet types his name in a headline. Jones is the actual decision, and he is questionable with 10.0 and 10.5 in the bank and zero value over replacement, which is a polite way of saying he is a flex you start when the alternative is worse. Play Maye only if your starter is hurt. Jones sits unless the questionable tag clears and your bench is empty.
