The New England Patriots will visit the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR DeMario Douglas.
Is DeMario Douglas Playing in Week 12?
Douglas is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Patriots’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Douglas in Week 12?
We entered this season thinking that Douglas had a chance at being the AFC East’s version of Wan’Dale Robinson, but that hasn’t materialized in the slightest.
His next game with 5+ catches this year will be his first, and he’s oddly relying on big plays to give us any value whatsoever (26+ yard catch in four straight games).
There are a lot of things to like about this Patriots offense, but there is only one that matters for us, and that’s Stefon Diggs. Without the elevated floor that we thought we’d have access to, I’m more likely to cut ties with Douglas than I am to hold.
