DeMario Douglas

Demario Douglas was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise lackluster 2024 Patriots receiving corps. The rookie wideout posted a 66-621-3 receiving line, finishing as the WR52 overall and WR69 in points per game (6.7). He showed consistency throughout the year, catching at least two passes in every game but one, and flashed real upside in Week 6 - with 6 catches for 92 yards and a TD against Houston in Drake Maye's first NFL start. Douglas carved out a consistent role as New England's primary slot receiver, and that role should remain intact heading into 2025. The Patriots have since revamped the WR room, trading for Stefon Diggs and drafting Kyle Williams, but Douglas could still be the de facto WR1 early in the season if Diggs isn't ready as he recovers from a torn ACL.

DeMario Douglas caught 3-of-4 targets for 34 yards in the Patriots 23-16 win over the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Douglas was third on team in targets in the Patriots' fourth win of the season. The 24-year-old will end the season with 621 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 66 receptions in 17 games. He remains under contract with the Patriots and should have a chance to carve out a role in a new offense in 2025.
