Demario Douglas is a 2024 fantasy football draft sleeper at wide receiver and an ADP draft value. Target Demario Douglas as an undervalued WR in fantasy football drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~139 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~200
ANALYSIS: Douglas had a PFF receiving grade of 74.4 as a rookie, sandwiched between McLaurin and Pickens. That’s not bad at all. It was just under Zay Flowers (76.3), who many consider to be a top breakout candidate in his sophomore season. Flowers’ ADP is WR25, while Douglas has an ADP of WR70. That’s a huge difference, especially considering the pecking order in New England is completely ambiguous heading into the season. It’s not necessarily an apples-to-apples comparison, though, as Flowers did have a higher target share than Pop in their rookie seasons. However, Douglas has a lot of potential as well at a much lower acquisition cost.
DeMario “Pop” Douglas was “by far the Patriots’ best and most explosive playmaker in practice this spring.”

One of the biggest things going for Douglas heading into his sophomore season is the new offense being installed by former Cleveland Browns’ offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt.
On who benefits the most from AVP’s offense: “It’s still early on and we haven’t gotten a full look at the Patriots’ new offense yet, but I think Pop Douglas is one player who could be in for an expanded role that really fits his skill set. Last year the Patriots used his speed… https://t.co/7WfOwoHYB7

Ja'Lynn Polk is also having a good camp, but he has yet to show his ability as a high-volume target earner. He was good at Washington, but he played third-fiddle to Rome Odunze and Jalen McMillan.
Javon Baker is another rookie the Patriots brought in, but he seems to be fighting for a role as a depth piece at the moment. That leaves Douglas to compete for targets with veterans Hunter Henry, Kendrick Bourne, and K.J. Osborne. That’s not so scary, is it? It’s always time to buy talented and undervalued wide receivers in ambiguous offenses.
