The New England Patriots will host the New York Giants in Week 13. 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 13?
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 13?
Douglas continued one of the weirder trends in the league: the 5’8” slot weapon has a 25+ yard catch in five straight, the third longest active streak in the league (Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Alec Pierce).
I don’t mind the significant play addition to his profile, but when it is all he offers, that’s an issue. Douglas has just 24 catches (36 targets) this season and has scored six touchdowns in 43 career games.
The Patriots’ offense is dangerous in a good way, while counting on any pass catcher outside of Stefon Diggs is risky, often in a bad way.
