Yes, but
Maye's Week 3 performance was poor, tallying just 3.8 points. It's possible expert consensus will adjust to the market's view if such outcomes continue.
What we're watching
Active market repricing for Maye, particularly after future games, would confirm if the market is changing its long-standing valuation.
The bottom line
Despite a quiet Sunday for MarketRank movement, the market's long-term skepticism for Drake Maye persists well below expert expectations.
