BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has posted two straight games with nine targets, but he left Week 13 early with a concussion. The rookie receiver has received increased volume over the last five games and has value for the rest of the season.
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. During this stretch, he's averaging 8.42 half-PPR PPG. Douglas is still a solid option in half-PPR, but he comes with a limited ceiling.
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 and 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 winner, but if you're looking for a decent WR3 who will score 7-12 points most weeks, he is your guy.
He's a solid player to have on your bench because he can be a decent fill-in starter in a pinch, whether it's for bye weeks of which there are a few left, or for any future injuries. Douglas did leave the game with a head injury, however. After the game, he stated he didn't have a concussion. It's something to monitor, but as of right now, it seems he'll be ready to go for Week 13.
