BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas continues to emerge as a dependable target for the New England Patriots, bringing in seven of nine passes for 35 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans.
While the wideout is seeing solid volume, his production has been inconsistent. He is a more appealing option in PPR formats than in standard leagues. With Drake Maye under center, the Patriots have shown an improved passing game compared to Jacoby Brissett, which could benefit Douglas in the long run. However, for this week, he is best kept on the bench.
Demario Douglas needs to have 10 targets a game. That’s not even a fantasy take, I genuinely think this guy is a really good NFL WR. pic.twitter.com/gV0HqrJglS

The Patriots face the Chicago Bears, which is a tough matchup for wide receivers. The Bears give up the fewest fantasy points per game to the position, which limits the 2023 draft pick's potential output.
Although he has value as a bench stash, particularly in PPR formats, this is not the week to start him. Keep an eye on his role in the offense for future matchups, as his volume could make him a more reliable starter down the line.
