Outlook Caleb Douglas

Caleb Douglas vs. NE — Emerging Rookie Looking to Build on Two-Touchdown Outburst

After missing time with an ankle injury, Douglas returned with a bang in Week 7, turning two catches into 70 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets. The rookie is entrenched as a starting outside receiver, and with Malik Washington dealing with a knee issue, Douglas should remain heavily involved alongside Chris Bell.

Fantasy managers rushed to add Douglas, pushing his roster rate to 46%. With Miami entering as seven-point underdogs against New England, game script should foster passing volume. We project Douglas for 5 targets, 2.9 receptions, and 40 yards (8.4 fantasy points), making him an appealing upside flex option.
