Should You Start or Sit DeMario Douglas in Week 7?
Douglas hauled in six of nine targets for 92 yards and a score against the Texans last week in Drake Maye’s first career start, resulting in the first New England WR top-20 finish of the season.
The early returns were positive, but I’d caution against getting over your skies after a single game. Douglas earned the right to be my highest-ranked Patriots pass catcher this week in a matchup with the worst EPA pass defense in the league, but that only lands him in the middling Flex tier.
Maye offers plenty of upside that this offense didn’t have access to prior, but don’t mistake a ceiling for stability.
