The New England Patriots lost in Week 10 and are now 2-7, with any playoff aspirations flushed down the drain.
Now, it looks as though it is time to let younger players on the team see increased opportunities to evaluate the future of the team.
One receiver on the team is beginning to see those opportunities and run with them, and that is rookie receiver Demario Douglas.

It looks like Douglas has continued to develop chemistry with quarterback Mac Jones. If this continues, he could become the potential replacement for Kendrick Bourne, who will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
Should I Pickup Demario Douglas in Week 10?
It is clear that Demario Douglas has the potential to become a significant weapon in this New England offense. In the past 3 weeks, he 20% target share and has seen a massive increase in snap share. It seems evident that Douglas will continue to have these opportunities to showcase his abilities as the season progresses.
Is Douglas a good option on the waiver wire? It is not often that you can pick up a player this late in the season with the upside that Douglas does. If he can maintain or even increase his target share, Douglas will remain a solid fantasy football option for the rest of the season.
