Douglas came to the Patriots in 2023 as a sixth-round pick and almost immediately earned a regular role in the slot, where his 5-foot-8, 179-pound frame wasn’t too limited. He’s been around a lot since then, now listed at 192, and doesn’t seem to have sacrificed any of his 4.44 speed, but that doesn’t mean he’s anything more than a No. 3 receivers. After drawing targets on 22.1 percent of routes as a rookie, Douglas dropped to 16.9 percent in 2024 despite mostly being surrounded by backup quality receivers. The Patriots are hoping that won’t be the case this year, signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, but their receiving corps and offensive line are still on paper near the bottom of the league. That bodes well for Douglas’ chances of keeping his role, and he’s already more athletic than the typical slot specialist, but it’s hard to manage even WR3 fantasy production in that role unless the team almost exclusively uses a three-wide formation and/or has elite passing numbers overall. Neither of those results seem likely under new coach Mike Vrabel, which means Douglas’ statistical gains are relatively modest even as second-year QB Drake Maye proves to be a gem.
Douglas was one of the few bright spots in a broken Patriots offense in 2023, drawing at least five targets in every game he played from Week 7 through. He had seven games with at least 40 yards in the 14 he played. though he topped 55 yards just twice (84, 74), mostly settling for short gains and failing to score a single TD. Douglas played inside and outside as a rookie last year, but at 5-8, 192, he’s likely a better fit in the slot long-term. Even if he looks like a gem of a sixth-round pick, his big role in 2023 is at least partially a product of the Patriots lacking other options. They expect 2024 second-round pick Ja’Lynn Polk and fourth-rounder Javon Baker to take care of that, and they also brought in former Vikings No. 3 receiver KJ Osborn and re-signed Kendrick Bourne (who is rehabbing an ACL tear). The competition for the roles should be wide open under the new coaching staff, with Douglas a candidate to land anywhere between first and fifth on the depth chart.
Douglas is the second of two wide receivers selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, so the Liberty product is not a lock to make the team’s first roster. If he stays, the 5-8, 170-pounder has the speed to potentially emerge as a slot option for the team, as well as contribute as a returner. However, right now, Douglas is clearly behind JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Tyquan Thornton and Kendrick Bourne on the depth chart and also has to contend for the slot with fellow rookie Kayshon Boutte.
