Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Seven catches in loss
Demario Douglas recorded seven catches on nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.Douglas led the New England Patriots with nine targets and tied for the team lead with seven receptions. Drake Maye didn't push the ball down the field much, limiting Douglas' yardage potential, though he still managed his first catch of at least 20 yards since Week 6 and just his fourth such reception of the campaign. While his final line was unremarkable, Douglas' ability to command targets was notable after seeing only six combined across his two prior games.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Stays quiet with two catches
Demario Douglas caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.Douglas finished sixth on the team in receiving yards while no New England Patriots player had more than 46 receiving yards or a touchdown through the air. The slot receiver will likely be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett in Week 9 against the Titans, as Drake Maye entered the concussion protocol in the first half of Sunday's win.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Not on injury report
Demario Douglas (illness) isn't listed on the New England Patriots' Week 8 injury report released Wednesday.An illness limited Douglas to 20 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, but the wideout is evidently back at full strength, given that he avoided the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. As a result, Douglas should return to his normal workload this weekend and serve as one of quarterback Drake Maye's preferred targets. While playing roughly six quarters of the two games that Maye has started, Douglas has turned in an 8-106-1 receiving line on 12 targets.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Unable to shake off illness Sunday
Demario Douglas missed most of the second half of Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars after he felt under the weather after waking up ill earlier in the day, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Douglas caught two of his three targets for 14 yards in the first half, but shortly after halftime, the New England Patriots labeled him as questionable to return due to an illness. The second-year wideout appeared to check back into the game for one snap in the second half, but New England never officially announced that he was cleared to return to the game. The Patriots may have been consciously staying away from Douglas after he required anti-nausea medication in addition to an IV prior to the game so that he could attempt to play through the illness, per Rapoport. Provided his condition doesn't take a turn for the worse in the next few days, Douglas should be ready to play and take on a more normal share of snaps in the Patriots' Week 8 game versus the Jets next Sunday.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Iffy to return due to illness
Demario Douglas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London due to an illness.Douglas reeled in two of his three targets for 14 yards before falling ill. He seems to be keeping himself prepared to check back into the game, with Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald noting that Douglas rode the stationary bike on the sideline and took part in some stretching during the third quarter. If Douglas doesn't ultimately return to the contest, the New England Patriots should provide an update on his condition shortly after the game concludes.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Scores first NFL TD in Maye's start
Demario Douglas caught six of nine targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans.Douglas' 35-yard touchdown came in the fourth quarter after the result was no longer in doubt, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick will cherish it all the same as the first touchdown of his NFL career. Douglas was heavily involved throughout Drake Maye's first NFL start under center, leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yards. The slot receiver's off to an up-and-down start, with 19 catches for 220 yards and a touchdown in his three best games and just five catches for 25 yards in three other appearances this season. Douglas is more likely to boom than bust in Week 7 against a Jaguars defense that's giving up 29.7 points per game.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Leads air attack in loss
Demario Douglas secured six of nine targets for 59 yards in the New England Patriots' 15-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.All three components of Douglas' receiving line were team highs. Douglas benefitted from the absence of No. 2 receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder) and wasn't impacted by the season debut of veteran Kendrick Bourne (knee), who drew a sole target. Bourne will naturally be more involved in coming weeks, but Douglas has outperformed Osborn thus far this season and should therefore retain a solid role under any circumstance during a Week 6 home matchup against the Texans.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Three catches versus 49ers
Demario Douglas was one the field for 38 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.After catching seven of nine targets for 69 yards and gaining nine rushing yards on one carry versus the Jets in Week 3, Douglas was held to three catches on as many targets for 13 yards Sunday. For now, he remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option while working in an inconsistent New England offense, but if things pick up for the team's passing game in the coming weeks, the 2023 sixth-rounder should remain involved enough to carve out some PPR utility.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Busy night in Week 3 loss
Demario Douglas secured seven of nine targets for 69 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the New England Patriots' 24-3 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.Douglas was essentially the lone offensive bright spot for the Patriots on the night, posting team-high totals across his receiving line. It was quite the resurgence for the second-year wideout, who'd been blanked altogether, including in targets, during the team's Week 2 overtime loss to the Seahawks. Douglas may prove to be the most consistent member of an inexperienced Patriots receiving corps over time, and he'll look to build on Thursday's momentum in a Week 4 road matchup against the 49ers on Sunday, Sept. 29.

Patriots' DeMario Douglas: Not targeted Sunday
Demario Douglas, who logged 38 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks and went without a target.Douglas' quiet Week 2 effort occurred in a game in which just five of quarterback Jacoby Brissett's 27 passing attempts went to wide receivers, with Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) seeing three targets and K.J. Osborn (51 snaps) logging two. Afterward, head coach Jerod Mayo acknowledged that getting Douglas more involved needs to be a priority for the New England Patriots ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. However, until such an approach results in added targets for Douglas, the 2023 sixth-round pick will be a low-percentage option in fantasy lineups.
