ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas returned from his concussion in Week 15 and looked to add to his solid rookie year. While the Patriots' offense drastically lowers his ceiling, he has some value on volume alone.
Since Week 7, Douglas has operated as the Patriots' best receiver. Since that time, he has had five straight games with six targets or more and four or more receptions. He was ruled out of their Week 12 game early, but that didn't stop him from racking up nine targets, his second game in as many weeks with nine targets. He finished Week 12 with six receptions and 49 yards. He missed Weeks 13 and 14 with a concussion before returning this past weekend. He returned to his typical role, running 25 routes on 35 dropbacks. He finished tied for second on the team with five targets. He finished with three receptions and 33 yards.
Since Week 7, Douglas has had just one game over 55 yards receiving and he has yet to find the end zone. Due to his average depth of target, which is low, Douglas is unlikely to have high yardage outputs. Due to New England's limitations on offense and at the quarterback position, he's unlikely to find the end zone with any sort of regularity. Douglas won't be a league-winning addition, but he can be a decent WR3 in PPR scoring leagues who will likely score between 7-12 points.
