BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Demario Douglas looks like a solid play this week, especially in PPR formats where he has the most value. Managers were likely frustrated by his lack of usage last week in the Patriots' defeat to Jacksonville in London. However, that matchup was much better for their outside receivers and Douglas played a season-low 33% of the snaps as the Pats decided to go in a different direction.
This week, Drake Maye and the Patriots' offense will face the New York Jets and their banged-up defense. Back in Week 3, Douglas played a season-high 83% of the snaps against the Jets and caught 7 of 9 targets for 69 yards.
Demario Douglas has an absurd 40.5% target share when sharing the field with Drake Maye.
We already saw the Pats take on the Jets once this season. "Pop" Douglas in that game:
+ 38% target share
+ 58% receiving yardage share— Jacob Gibbs (@jagibbs_23) October 23, 2024
The Jets can be attacked with slot receivers, which is where Douglas lines up for the majority of his snaps. If New England struggles to establish the run, look for Maye to try to find some success in the short passing game where Douglas thrives.
It's not a sure thing, but Douglas has 9 targets in three of his last five games and could be heavily targeted again this week. He's best used as a flex play in deeper formats.

BALLER MOVE: Start POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White had an otherwise pedestrian day against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 salvaged by a touchdown run.
