DeMario Douglas is a fantasy football sleeper and undervalued draft pick for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook and draft advice for the New England Patriots wide receiver.
RotoBaller Ranking (half-PPR): WR70
Fantasy Draft Analysis: DeMario Douglas was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft but has still made a consistent impact through his first two seasons. Douglas is a slot-specific player but has averaged 83 targets, 58 receptions, 591 yards, and 1.5 touchdowns per season. He has certainly benefited from a subpar supporting cast to begin his career.
2025 will be the first time that Douglas has had strong target competition in the passing attack with Stefon Diggs, rookie Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins. Douglas will not have a clear path to a huge target increase, but should see higher-quality targets with defenses having to pay attention to other players.
I don't think this is exactly what the Patriots want in terms of feet/technique?
But it's exactly what they want in terms of results: Drake Maye puts the ball on the money despite a blitz. Demario Douglas beats his man.

Douglas is the forgotten man in this passing attack, but he has a track record of solid production with weak supporting casts. He will return to solid fantasy value again in 2025.
