DeMario Douglas News
Wednesday, July 29, 11:44 AM
New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is seeing his usage and route tree expanded during training camp compared with recent seasons, according to the Boston Herald. Douglas caught 31 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games in 2025, averaging a career-high 14.4 yards per reception. New England already pushed him farther downfield last season, when he averaged a career-high 9.7 air yards per target and tied his career best with four deep receptions. The latest camp usage suggests the Patriots are continuing to explore ways to deploy Douglas beyond a traditional underneath slot role. A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs project as the top two receivers, while Douglas is competing with Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams for snaps in three-receiver sets. The broader route tree improves Douglas' path to staying involved, but his fantasy value will still depend on whether the expanded responsibilities lead to consistent playing time and targets.

Elijah Sarratt News
Thursday, July 23, 9:58 AM
Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Elijah Sarratt was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft after he recorded 65 catches for 860 yards and 15 touchdowns across 14 games in his final collegiate season at the University of Indiana. As a big-bodied ball-winner, Sarratt carries appeal as both a downfield and red-zone threat in the NFL. He may have trouble seeing the field in his first professional season, as he is likely behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Devontez Walker, and fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane on the team's WR depth chart entering 2026. However, none of Baltimore's wideouts outside of Flowers has proven themselves to be consistent high-end producers. With a new coaching staff in place for the Ravens this season, Sarratt could emerge as a key piece of the team's plans by the end of this year. Dynasty managers who are building for the future should target Sarratt ahead of 2026.
