DeMario Douglas Week 8 Outlook - Jets at Patriots

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Last week, only Hunter Henry and Kayshon Boutte had route shares above 60%. Douglas was ill, so that can account for his drop in playing time. Douglas should see his playing time and usage quickly rebound this week. Douglas has had a 16% target share, 1.55 YPRR, and a 21.3% first-read share. In his last meeting with the Jets, Douglas led the way through the air with a 34.6% target share, 2.46 YPRR, and a 45% first-read share. He secured seven of his nine targets with 69 receiving yards. We could see New England lean on him again in this matchup. Douglas hasn't drawn a red zone target this season. He's a stronger play in PPR formats. Surprisingly, the Jets have been meh against slot receivers, allowing the ninth-highest PPR points per target and the fifth-best passer rating when targeted.
