ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas has been consistently productive since earning a stable role. While the Patriots' offense has a relatively low ceiling, limiting the rookie's potential, he remains a solid depth piece for fantasy managers.
Since Week 7, Douglas has operated as the Patriots' best receiver. In 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's averaging 7.6 targets per game since Week 7 and 5.2 receptions. He's a very solid PPR asset to have on your bench.
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-winning addition, but he can be a decent WR3 in PPR scoring leagues who will likely score between 7-12 points. He was inactive this past weekend due to a concussion, but hopefully, he should be able to return this week.
