2024 Fantasy Outlook
Zappe returns to the Patriots for his third season, but this year he’s likely third quarterback on the roster. The Patriots signed Jacoby Brissett and drafted Drake Maye third overall, relegating Zappe to fighting for scraps with sixth-round rookie Joe Milton. Zappe began last year on the practice squad only to end up starting six games. If that happens again, things will have really gone off the rails in New England. Among 35 QBs with at least 200 attempts, Zappe ranked 30th in on-target percentage (68.4) and 33rd in completion percentage (59.9), with six TD passes and nine interceptions. It’s possible he goes to practice squad again or is traded if the team choose Milton to be the emergency QB. Read Past Outlooks

Struggles in spot start
Zappe completed 16 of 31 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. He added two rushes for two yards.
ANALYSIS
Zappe drew the start Saturday and ceded relatively limited work to Dorian Thompson-Robinson. The former's opportunity to start didn't go as planned, as he threw a pick-six on Cleveland's second possession and was unable to get the Browns into the end zone until early in the fourth quarter with the team down three scores. Zappe will become a free agent this offseason and will try to compete for a backup job during training camp for the 2025 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
As a rookie, Zappe started two games while starter Mac Jones dealt with an ankle injury, and overall the 2022 fourth-rounder out of Western Kentucky recorded 65 completions on 92 pass attempts for 781 yards with five TDs and three picks in four appearances. Given that coach Bill Belichick hasn't specifically endorsed Jones as the Patriots' starter this coming season, there's been some speculation that Zappe could make a run at the job as Week 1 approaches. That said, a more plausible scenario is that Jones gets an opportunity to get back on track after an uneven 2022 campaign. If, however, the 2021 first-rounder falters or suffers an injury in his third season as a pro, Zappe would be next in line to handle the reins.
