DeMario Douglas in Limited Role Heading into Contract Year

Thursday, February 19, 5:04 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas had a disappointing third year in the NFL, even though his team advanced all the way to the Super Bowl. The 25-year-old pass-catcher had career lows in catches (31), targets (46), and receiving yards (447) while scoring just three touchdowns for the second straight season in 17 regular-season games. Quarterback Drake Maye was in the running for MVP honors in his second season, but Douglas just couldn't stand out in a crowded receiving corps that also included Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams. His 447 receiving yards were fifth on the team, and he added seven carries for 21 yards on the ground. Douglas will be in a contract year in 2026, but with all of the above-mentioned receivers returning to New England, it's hard to envision Douglas becoming a strong weekly fantasy football option.

Travis Hunter "Very Well Ahead" of Schedule in Rehab From Knee Surgery

Monday, March 30, 6:58 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said that cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter (knee) is "very well ahead" of schedule in his rehab from right-knee surgery on Nov. 11 of his rookie season, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Jacksonville Florida Times-Union. Hunter injured the LCL in his knee during practice on Oct. 30 and never played again in 2025. Coen "cannot say for certain" if Hunter will be cleared to take part in organized team activities or for mandatory minicamp in May to June. The 22-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner at Colorado was just starting to see a bigger role on offense last year before injuring his knee, and he finished with 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown in seven games played. The Jaguars have said they plan on Hunter having a much bigger role as a defensive back in 2026, which is bad news for the former second overall pick's stock in dynasty/keeper leagues. The Jaguars are pretty set at wideout already with Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., and Parker Washington, so it will be a tough battle for snaps and targets in Jacksonville's offense moving forward for Hunter.
