2024 RTSports Outlook

Douglas had a productive rookie season, getting a chance to eventually play a pretty big role in the Patriots passing game. He played 14 games and got seven starts. Douglas had 49 receptions for 561 yards but failed to find the end zone. He was 64th overall in fantasy receiver scoring despite going without a touchdown. Douglas had five games with double-digit fantasy points. He has a chance to start from day one this season. Douglas is a small receiver that has a knack for getting open and making plays after the catch. He is a good fit for the Patriots offense. Douglas will struggle some with the contested catch because of his size.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Douglas could improve some on his rookie year. But his lack of scores is a concern and the Patriots could be a run-first offense once again. Take him as a No. 4 or 5 fantasy receiver come draft day. He could get around 60 receptions for 700 yards and a few scores.

RotoBaller's Outlook

Believe it or not, Douglas was the leading receiver on New England last year, hauling in 49 passes for 561 yards. This definitely speaks more to the pitiful state of the Pats' offense than to Douglas' talent, but it was a still a solid rookie campaign for the shifty 6th-round receiver out of Liberty. It's hard to know whether the move to rookie QB Drake Maye from Mac Jones will benefit Douglas, but he will come into the season with the #1 slot position locked down, and only has journeyman Kendrick Bourne, and rookie Ja'Lynn Polk to compete with for targets at the wide receiver position. Tight end Hunter Henry will command his fair share of looks, but rookie QBs usually favor guys that can get open close to the line of scrimmage, and that is Douglas' bread and butter. With an aDOT of 8.2, Douglas could once again be the target leader in this offense, which is more than enough reason to take a late round flier on him.

Player Notes
Jun 21 6:30pm CT

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has reportedly looked like the best and most explosive playmaker this spring. The former sixth-round pick was impressive during his rookie season with the Pats last season. He finished with 49 receptions and lead the team with 561 receiving yards in 14 games. The Pats failed to add much depth this offseason, which means Douglas should have a similar role once again. The hope is that the Pats offense is better under head coach Jerod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt. Douglas is worth a look in the later rounds of PPR fantasy drafts.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas turned five targets into two catches for 13 yards during Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. He also added one rush for no gain. The Liberty product finishes his rookie campaign with 49 catches and 561 receiving yards, but he's still searching for his first NFL touchdown. Douglas enters the offseason as New England's top wide receiver, but the team will surely look to add significant competition at the position through the draft, free agency, and trades.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas remains an unreliable option in fantasy football with an unfavorable matchup and subpar weather conditions on tap for Week 18. Douglas, 23, caught just three passes for 31 yards last week against a Buffalo Bills defense that is typically soft against slot receivers. This week, he'll face a much tougher test in the form of the Jets, who allow the fewest catches, yards, and fantasy points to wideouts. To make matters worse, Sunday's game is expected to feature heavy snow, rain, and wind, creating unfavorable conditions for the passing game. Managers can leave Douglas on the bench in most fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots' passing attack had a very poor performance this week and, as a result, Douglas suffered. This has become a similar theme throughout the second half of the season. The rookie receiver has flashed immense potential as a slot receiver, but his production is largely dependent on the success of a bottom-tier quarterback room. If Zappe can't move the offense down the field, Douglas is not going to thrive. He's merely a WR4 option in fantasy football for next week's game against the New York Jets.
