Demario Douglas
2025 Season Outlooks
Douglas has shown flashes in two seasons with the Patriots, but he has yet to exceed 40 receiving yards per game and has caught three touchdowns in his career. Douglas is a late-round draft pick at best. If Stefon Diggs is ready for Week 1, Douglas might be best left for the waiver wire. The hope for Douglas -- and all of New England's pass catchers -- is that Drake Maye breaks out in his second season and Douglas would benefit from being in a better offense. He is a reliable, short-area slot wide receiver who caught 76% of his targets last season. However, the addition of Diggs and rookie Kyle Williams might be too much for Douglas to overcome.
Douglas is entering his third NFL season having paced the Patriots' WR room in targets during each of his first two years with the team. The 2023 sixth-round pick earned a significant offensive role early in his rookie season and took a slight leap forward last season, hitting career-best marks in targets, catches, yardage and TDs. One of the league's smallest receivers at 5-foot-8, 179 pounds, Douglas primarily works as a short-area slot receiver, which has severely limited his yardage, TDs and, of course, fantasy output. The 24-year-old has yet to deliver a top-55 fantasy campaign (PPG) and is a candidate for a lesser role in 2025 with Stefon Diggs now in the mix on what is likely to be a run-first offense under Mike Vrabel. Douglas has slight late-round appeal in PPR.
