DeMario Douglas News
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.

Emeka Egbuka News
Sunday, May 31, 11:09 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 63 receptions for 938 yards and six touchdowns on 127 targets across 17 games. The 23-year-old's production slowed down a bit in the second half of the season, as he failed to record a touchdown reception after Week 9 and topped 60 receiving yards just once over his final eight games played. However, Egbuka profiles as the number one target in the Bucs' passing game entering 2026 following the offseason departure of star wideout Mike Evans in free agency. He will also get a chance to play more on the inside, which should allow him to improve on his subpar 49.6% catch rate. If Egbuka's slow finish to 2025 creates a dip in his value, dynasty managers should pounce on the opportunity to buy low on him heading into his second NFL season.
