Douglas had a nifty 48-yard touchdown where he caught at the sideline, turned back into the middle of the field, and outran four Dolphins defenders to the end zone. Bloom recommends a 12-25% FAAB bid. With A.J. Brown out and Hunter Henry leaving with a foot injury, Douglas is the Patriots' most trusted pass-catcher along with Rhamondre Stevenson. He has 20 targets over the last four games and is WR16 in PPR leagues during that span. If he's on the field more with the Patriots offense down three wide receivers and a tight end, Douglas could be an every-week start going forward, especially since it's unlikely Brown will be his old self after returning.PositiveUsageOct 31, 2026
