Should You Start or Sit Douglas in Week 15?
It’s been more than a month since the target Douglas last hit the ground, and that’s usually a great sign, but when efficiency at that level isn’t met with a role extension, it tells you all you need to know.
Only three times has Douglas reached a 14% target share in a game this season, and that’s not a role that is even close to interesting. Drake Maye is playing great, and the Patriots are winning at a high level: do we really think that they use the bye week to scheme up more work for a slot option in Douglas that offers little upside?
Doubt it.
Stefon Diggs is the WR1 in this offense, Hunter Henry is a consistent asset, and the other secondary pass catchers offer significantly more upside. I think Douglas outscores Kyle Williams more weeks than not moving forward, but if you are looking for a spike play or two, the rookie is the flier to take simply based on how he is used (one catch from him could be worth what four of Douglas are).
