Romeo Doubs

Romeo Doubs lands with the New England Patriots and should be Drake Maye's clear WR2 behind A.J. Brown. He should see a volume bump with the Pats, simply moving from an offense that was 30th in neutral passing rate last year (Green Bay) to one that was ninth in neutral passing rate. I wouldn't be surprised if the Pats increase their neutral passing rate this season, either with the arrival of Brown and Doubs and Drake Maye having another year in Josh McDaniels' offensive system. Also add in Green Bay's love of rotating receivers and Doubs 72.8% route share last year, and it's not difficult to see Doubs being a late-round value. Last year, Doubs was the WR43 in fantasy points per game with five weeks in weekly scoring as a top 25 fantasy wideout. Last year, among 109 qualifying wide receivers, Doubs was 36th in target per route run rate, 31st in yards per route run, 18th in first downs per route run, and 27th in fantasy points per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Also among those 109 receivers, Doubs was 23rd in separation and fifth in route win rate. He's primed to explode this season with WR2/3 upside if everything goes right.

The Patriots have signed WR Romeo Doubs.

Fantasy Impact

The Patriots had a huge hole at wide receiver, especially after releasing Stefon Diggs. They have been in trade talks for AJ Brown, but now land Doubs in free agency. He'll have a chance to potentially step into the No. 1 wide receiver role for Drake Maye and New England. He'll hold more upside for fantasy managers than what he had in a crowded Packers offense.
