Doubs never became a bankable fantasy producer in 2025, even when Christian Watson and Jayden Reed missed time. New England gives Doubs a better QB and likely a bit more passing volume, but A.J. Brown’s arrival limits him from projecting as a high-volume target. A low-risk WR50 ADP keeps Doubs in play as a WR4-5 stash.
Customize his projection for your exact league settings inside the Draft War Room.
Doubs caught 55 balls for 724 yards and 6 TDs in 16 games. Half of his TDs came in a Week 4 overtime tie at Dallas, a game Christian Watson missed.
Doubs finished tied for 42nd in PPR points per game and 39th in half-PPR. He managed one top-12 PPR week and only two other top-24 finishes. He also had two more weeks at WR25 and eight finishes outside the top 36.
Doubs led the Packers in route rate (72.8%) but slotted second behind Watson in target share (17.6%).
Doubs earned plenty of his catches in contested situations, tying for 14th among WRs in contested-catch opportunities despite finishing just 38th in targets. His 43.3% contested catch rate followed seasons of 66.7% and 53.6%.
His alignment mirrored previous seasons, with 82% of his snaps coming out wide. His average depth of target also fell between 12.1 and 12.9 for the third straight season.
Doubs’ yards per route run hit a career-high 1.73, up from 1.32 in 2023 and 1.67 in 2024.
His 13.1 yards per catch and 65.5% catch rate lined up with his career averages. Doubs benefited from a solid connection with QB Jordan Love, who helped supply an 81% catchable target rate, 19th among 76 WRs with 50+ targets.
Doubs played 15 of 16 games with Jordan Love, but the Packers ranked 28th in pass rate at 52.3%, their third straight bottom-8 finish in that category.
Doubs also played from Week 2 to Week 7 without both Watson and Jayden Reed. In those games, Doubs recorded PPR finishes of:
Doubs missed little regular-season time in 2025. He exited late in Week 10 with a chest injury, returned the next week, and rested in Week 18 with Green Bay’s playoff spot secured.
The bigger concern is a history of head injuries. He sustained a concussion on November 24, 2024 and another on January 12, 2025.
With his rookie deal up, Doubs landed in New England on a four-year, $68 million deal ($39 million guaranteed) that ranks 28th among WRs in average annual value.
Doubs looked like New England’s top WR until the team acquired A.J. Brown for a first-round pick. Brown arrives with proven No. 1 WR production, including 1,000+ yards and 7+ scores in six of seven NFL seasons.
Our projections have Brown as the clear team leader in targets at 27%, ahead of Doubs (18.3%) and Hunter Henry (15%).
Doubs lands in a rising Patriots offense after Drake Maye’s 2025 breakout. Maye ranked top-4 in:
Those numbers came in well ahead of Jordan Love’s:
Maye also beats Doubs’ old QB as an out-of-structure playmaker. Love completed just 33.3% of his throws outside the pocket last season at 4.5 yards per attempt, per SumerSports. Maye checked in at 51.6% and 8.0 YPA.
Overall, he’s an upgrade in both efficiency and playmaking.
OC Josh McDaniels returns after leading an offense that finished 26th in pass rate but fifth in pass rate over expected and 18th in neutral pass rate. A similar pattern showed in the red zone, with New England finishing 16th in RZ pass rate and sixth in RZ pass rate over expected.
Brown and Doubs give New England reason to throw more in Maye’s third season, but we still don’t expect a pass-heavy unit. Our projections have the Patriots at a 54.8% pass rate, up from 53.1% last year.
Brown limits Doubs’ target-volume upside, making TDs more important to his fantasy case.
Doubs could become one of Maye’s preferred scoring-area targets after accumulating 15 red zone scores over the past three seasons. That comes in ahead of Henry’s 12 RZ scores and Brown’s 10 over the same stretch.
Maye also showed the passing-TD potential last year with 31 scores. While the 6.3% TD rate was high, Maye’s talent and situation could prompt another strong finish.
Realistically, Doubs could push for weekly WR3 value.
The risk, of course, is that he doesn’t carry over his red-zone prowess and struggles to be more than fantasy bench fodder.

Nightmare Debut For Romeo Doubs
Nightmare Debut For Romeo Doubs
Can we get Romeo Doubs a mulligan? The new Patriot had a brutal debut in Seattle on Wednesday night, finishing catch-less on 3 targets. His first look didn't come until the fourth quarter. It was an underthrown 50/50 ball deep downfield that was eventually tipped and picked off by CB Nehemiah Pritchett. A tough play for Doubs, but certainly one that he could have made. It got worse from there. On New England's next possession, Doubs got wide open down the right sideline but looked upfield before securing the ball, dropping what would have converted a 2nd and 14. QB Drake Maye was intercepted on the next play. Doubs was smothered by Pritchett on his third and final target of the night.
Romeo Doubs’ Role May Make Him More Intriguing Than You Think…
Romeo Doubs’ Role May Make Him More Intriguing Than You Think…
Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was quiet early in training camp, but he excelled yesterday catching all 5 targets in a seven-on-seven session. What may be more interesting is Doubs' role in the Josh McDaniels offense. According to Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar, Doubs’ primary role will be from the “inside” instead of the X outside WR he played on the Packers. That big slot role could open up easier targets for Doubs, giving him weekly fantasy upside if he's on the same page as QB Drake Maye.

This One Factor Should Boost Drake Maye and His Mates
The Patriots plan to increase their offensive pace this season, which will be their second under OC Josh McDaniels (for his latest stint, that is). Last year's offense ranked third-slowest in the league at 30.6 seconds per play. They ranked 24th in 2021 (29.6 seconds), McDaniels' previous most recent Pats season. Before that came a No. 20 ranking in 2020 after eight straight seasons of finishing inside the top 12:
