Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Catches four passes Sunday
Rotowire
Douglas logged 45 of a possible 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Colts, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching all four of his targets in the contest for 20 yards.
Douglas approached the contest listed as questionable, but played through the ankle issue that had limited him at practice. With the Patriots on bye in Week 14, Douglas may be able to avoid the team's Week 15 injury report. Either way, he figures to maintain enough volume down the stretch to merit lineup attention in PPR formats.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Active versus Colts
Rotowire
Douglas (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
After being deemed a limited participant on all three of New England's practice reports this week, Douglas headed into the weekend listed as questionable. With his active status confirmed, the 2023 sixth-rounder -- who tops New England's WR corps in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66) -- will have an opportunity to remain a key target for QB Drake Maye, which puts the wideout on the Week 13 PPR radar. Over his last four contests, Douglas has combined for 20 catches (on 27 targets) for 206 yards.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Douglas (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Douglas was listed as a limited participant on all three of the Patriots' practice reports this week, but the team is apparently confident that he'll be able to play through the ankle issue Sunday. Official confirmation on Douglas' status will arrive when New England releases its inactive list around 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Since Drake Maye took over as the Patriots' starting quarterback beginning in Week 6, Douglas has produced a 30-324-1 receiving line on 42 targets in seven contests.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Douglas was listed as a limited participant on all three Patriots' practice reports this week, so he has a chance to play through his ankle issue this weekend. Either way, with Sunday's kickoff coming at 1 p.m. ET kickoff, fantasy managers thinking of using Douglas -- who leads New England's wideout corps in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66) -- will have his Week 13 status confirmed before the early slate of games begin.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Limited by ankle issue
Rotowire
Douglas was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Douglas has two more chances to increase his practice participation before the Patriots potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Colts. Through the Patriots' first 12 games of the season, Douglas leads the team's wideout group in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66).

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Douglas had a solid game in Week 12 at Miami with five catches for 62 yards on seven targets, and he has the potential to be a weekly No. 3 receiver in PPR. Douglas now has six games this season with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 10.5 PPR points in all of them, including two outings with at least 14.8 PPR points. He's worth adding for at least 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Team-high yardage in loss
Rotowire
Douglas secured five of seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for one yard in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Douglas finished with a co-team-high number of receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards for the Patriots on an unproductive afternoon for the offense overall. The second-year wideout has at least four catches in four consecutive games, and his yardage total Sunday was his highest since Week 6. Douglas' next opportunity to continue building rapport with rookie signal-caller Drake Maye comes in a Week 13 home matchup against the Colts.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Douglas had six catches for 59 yards on nine targets in Week 5 against Miami in the final start for Jacoby Brissett. I hope he gets nine targets against the Dolphins in the rematch, with Drake Maye now under center. Douglas has five games this season with at least seven targets, and he scored at least 10.5 PPR points in all of them, including two outings with at least 14.8 PPR points. Five receivers have scored at least 14 PPR points against the Dolphins in their past four games, and I like Douglas as a No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 12.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Douglas unfortunately may just hover in the 9-10.5 PPR point range he's been in for the past three games, which gives him a safe floor, but no ceiling. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 6, which is his lone touchdown this year, and he's averaging just seven targets a week for the past three games. But I still believe in his talent, and I like his role with the Patriots as a go-to receiver for Drake Maye. In PPR, Douglas should be rostered in all leagues, and I would add him for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I'm still confident that Douglas and Drake Maye are going to start connecting for big games on a consistent basis, like we saw in Week 6 against Houston when Douglas had six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. They've had a hard time connecting on the field since, and both have been banged up as well in the past four weeks. That said, Douglas has the best potential to help Fantasy managers of New England's receiving corps, and he's worth stashing on your bench for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Four grabs in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Douglas caught four of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Neither offense saw much success Sunday, but Douglas at least tied for the Patriots' lead in receptions with Kayshon Boutte, Douglas' 50 yards were his highest total since Week 6, and on the season he sports a modest 39-356-1 line on 53 targets through 10 games. The switch to rookie Drake Maye under center gives the New England passing attack more upside, but so far Douglas hasn't benefitted on a consistent basis. The slot receiver could make a bigger impact in Week 11 against the Rams.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Stashes (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Douglas and Maye finally played another full game together and Douglas saw nine targets. The down side is that he only scored 10.5 PPR Fantasy points on those nine targets. I'm not ready to start him but I do want to make sure he's rostered in all of my PPR leagues.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Week 10 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Douglas has played two complete games with Drake Maye, and Douglas has nine targets in each of those outings. He had six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 against Houston and seven catches for 35 yards in Week 9 at Tennessee. Douglas can be a No. 3 PPR receiver when he and Maye are healthy, and Douglas is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Seven catches in loss
Rotowire
Douglas recorded seven catches on nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.
Douglas led the Patriots with nine targets and tied for the team lead with seven receptions. Drake Maye didn't push the ball down the field much, limiting Douglas' yardage potential, though he still managed his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 6 and just his fourth such reception of the campaign. While his final line was unremarkable, Douglas' ability to command targets was notable after seeing only six combined across his two prior games.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The last time Douglas and Drake Maye finished a game together that they started was Week 6 against Houston, and Douglas had six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. Since then, Douglas got sick in Week 7 at Jacksonville in London, and Maye suffered a concussion in Week 8 against the Jets. I don't mind stashing Douglas to see what he does with Maye under center, but most likely, Jacoby Brissett will start for the Patriots in Week 9 against the Titans. Douglas is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Stays quiet with two catches
Rotowire
Douglas caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Douglas finished sixth on the team in receiving yards while no Patriots player had more than 46 receiving yards or a touchdown through the air. The slot receiver will likely be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett in Week 9 against the Titans, as Drake Maye entered the concussion protocol in the first half of Sunday's win.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Douglas dealt with an illness in Week 7 at Jacksonville in London, which is why he was limited to two catches for 14 yards on three targets. Prior to that, he scored 21.2 PPR points in Week 6 against Houston with six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Drake Maye's first start, and I like Douglas as a No. 3 PPR receiver against the Jets. Even though it's a tough matchup since the Jets are No. 5 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, Douglas had seven catches for 69 yards on nine targets against the Jets in Week 3. He did that with Jacoby Brissett under center, and Douglas has a higher ceiling with Maye. Hopefully, Douglas will score around 14.8 PPR points or more in the rematch with New York.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Douglas (illness) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report released Wednesday.
An illness limited Douglas to 20 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, but the wideout is evidently back at full strength, given that he avoided the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. As a result, Douglas should return to his normal workload this weekend and serve as one of quarterback Drake Maye's preferred targets. While playing roughly six quarters of the two games that Maye has started, Douglas has turned in an 8-106-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Iffy to return due to illness
Rotowire
Douglas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London due to an illness.
Douglas reeled in two of his three targets for 14 yards before falling ill. He seems to be keeping himself prepared to check back into the game, with Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald noting that Douglas rode the stationary bike on the sideline and took part in some stretching during the third quarter. If Douglas doesn't ultimately return to the contest, the Patriots should provide an update on his condition shortly after the game concludes.

Patriots' Demario Douglas: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Drake Maye started his first NFL game in Week 6 against Houston, and Douglas had his best game of the year with six catches for 92 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. He now has nine targets in three of his past four games, and I love his matchup in Week 7 against Jacksonville in London. In PPR, Douglas can be considered a borderline starter in all leagues, and hopefully, his connection with Maye will continue all season. The Jaguars are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and 10 receivers have scored at least 12.3 PPR points against Jacksonville this season.
