Douglas enters the final year of his rookie contract with a chip on his shoulder after getting just 288 snaps and 46 targets in 17 regular-season games last year. His per-route and per-target numbers were nearly all career highs, but his snap share fell to 26.3 percent, down from 55.3 percent and 62.1 percent in two previous NFL seasons (in which he drew 79 and 87 targets). The Patriots have since moved on from Stefon Diggs, but they signed Romeo Doubs and traded for A.J. Brown, leaving Douglas to compete for depth roles with Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism. Last year, the 5-foot-8 Douglas didn't even have a consistent slot role in 11 personnel, instead sharing those snaps with a variety of other players. He did well in the lesser role, averaging career highs of 14.4 yards per catch and 9.7 yards per target, with his aDOT rising from 5.8 in 2024 to 9.4 in 2025. Douglas nonetheless projects for a part-time role again, with any hope for fantasy value depending on injuries in front of him.
