Drake Maye is quarterback three in dynasty, and Peter Nova says he would rather own him than Jayden Daniels.

1. Player Profiler's Week 9 fantasy football recap, hosted by Peter Nova, covers ten takeaways on waiver pickups, dynasty values and trade-deadline scenarios ahead of Week 10. 2. Nova hosts the weekly Monday show, can be found at @supernova38, and takes mailbag questions at the end of each episode. 3. His stated thesis is that managers who stay active while league mates "fall asleep at the wheel" can stack easier wins as the playoffs approach. 4. He flags Patriots rookie Kyle Williams, a third-round pick with a 37% college dominator rating, as a deep-league stash after Williams played a career-high 31 snaps (45.6%) when Kayshon Boutte left with a hamstring injury. 5. He notes that Devin Singletary out-snapped Tyrone Tracy 56% to 44%, with 8 carries for 43 yards against Tracy's 5 for 18, and says Tracy's fumbling and pass-protection issues could push the split further toward Singletary. 6. He says Bears rookie Kyle Monangai's 26 carries for 176 yards made him the answer to a missing "toughness," and he expects D'Andre Swift's groin injury to keep Monangai in a larger role, with two bottom-10 run defenses coming in the next four weeks. 7. He tracks Puka Nacua's injury history, from the 2023 chest/rib sprain to the 2024 PCL sprain that cost five games and the October 2025 ankle injury, and he repeats his advice to buy Davante Adams, whom he ranks as a top-15 and possibly top-12 receiver. 8. He says he would take Drake Maye over Jayden Daniels in dynasty, citing the Patriots' rebuilt offensive line, Mike Vrabel's job security and Josh McDaniels's play-calling, while noting that Washington holds only two of its first four round picks next year. 9. He argues that Daniels's slender frame and a string of injuries (rib, hamstring, elbow) make a return this season unlikely if Washington keeps losing, and that next year's redraft could have Daniels, Burrow and Hurts going as QB5, QB6 and QB7. 10. Fantasy football managers in deep or dynasty leagues who want weekly waiver and trade guidance will get the most from it.
