DeMario Douglas

Demario Douglas emerged as a surprise contributor for the Patriots in 2023, showcasing his playmaking ability despite failing to find the end zone. Leading the team with 561 receiving yards without a touchdown, he demonstrated consistent involvement in the passing game with an 18% target share. From Week 7 onwards, Douglas maintained a significant role, posting a 21% target share and earning praise for his performance. However, the Patriots' decision to draft two wide receivers this year introduces competition, potentially impacting Douglas's role in the offense moving forward.

Demario Douglas caught 2-of-5 targets for 13 yards in the Patriots’ 17-3 loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact

Douglas closes out his rookie year with a quiet performance in a snowy loss to the Jets. The 23-year-old will finish the year with over 500 receiving yards but no touchdowns in 14 games. Douglas will likely be a key component of a rebuilding Patriots’ offense in 2024.
