Bottom Line

Douglas made the most of a bad situation in 2023.

The diminutive slot gained mid-season PPR value after the loss of Kendrick Bourne (ACL), hitting 10 PPR points five times.

Stiffer competition adds uncertainty to Douglas’ 2024 outlook. But the lack of a proven WR1 gives him the potential to lead this group in targets and catches.

What We Learned Last Year

  • The Pats drafted Douglas (5’8, 192) in Round 6.
    • He became a surprise contributor for a squad that lost Kendrick Bourne to an October ACL tear.
  • In nine games played from Week 7 on, Douglas hit 4+ catches six times.
    • Over that stretch, he finished as a top-36 WR five times – but never higher than WR24.
    • The main reason? He didn’t score on any of his 49 receptions.
    • He garnered only four red zone targets.
    • Douglas also sat out three games with two concussions.
  • This entire unit was limited by poor QB play.
    • Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe combined to throw for 3,392 yards, 16 TDs, and 21 INTs.

What to Expect in 2024

  • New England added WR reinforcements in the draft, selecting Ja’Lynn Polk (Round 2) and Javon Baker (Round 4).
    • Polk brings a physical, middle-of-the-field presence.
    • Baker’s best suited on the outside as a downfield winner.
  • New England’s WR depth remains underwhelming a year after the group totaled only 5 TDs.
    • Kendrick Bourne and Demario Douglas return as short-range targets. Bourne is recovering from an early-season ACL tear.
    • K.J. Bourne joins after a four-year run in Minnesota. His yardage and TDs have dropped steadily since posting 50-655-7 as a rookie.
    • JuJu Smith-Schuster won’t be guaranteed a roster spot after an abysmal ‘23 (29-260-1 in 11 games). Over the offseason, he shared that he’s much healthier than he was last season.
  • The Pats added much-needed QB talent.
    • Jacoby Brissett adds a veteran presence.
    • Drake Maye, the third overall pick, supplies longer-term upside.
    • Those guys will battle to start in training camp, but it’s reasonable for Maye to be developed slowly.
    • Alex Van Pelt arrives as the new play-caller. His units have ranked top 10 in rushes in four of five seasons as OC.

Kendrick Bourne, WR NE

10:56am EDT 8/27/24

Kendrick Bourne (ACL Recovery) to Miss at Least 4 Games on PUP

Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne will open the regular season on the physically unable to perform list, according to multiple reports. That means Bourne will miss at least the first four games while continuing to work back from last October's ACL tear.

Patriots WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Broncos. Demario Douglas, DeVante Parker, Jalen Reagor, and Tyquan Thornton will be New England’s top four WRs for that one. Douglas is the only one inside the top 50 in the Week 16 WR Rankings.

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (concussion) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He’ll be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. Douglas has averaged 7.6 targets and 5.2 catches over his last five games – although very little of that came with QB Bailey Zappe. WRs DeVante Parker (knee), JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle), and Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) are all listed as questionable. Those guys shouldn’t be in your Week 15 fantasy plans.
