New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is an intriguing fantasy option ahead of his Week 16 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While Douglas was held to just three catches for 11 yards (plus one touchdown) last Sunday, he has a promising chance to bounce back in Orchard Park this weekend. This optimism is rooted in the Bills' subpar performances against slot receivers this season. Buffalo has allowed the second-most fantasy points to receivers in the slot, which bodes well for Douglas, who has played 400 slot snaps this season (fifth-most in the NFL). Plus, with the Patriots expected to be playing from behind, there should be no shortage of targets for Douglas this week. He's not a touchdown or big-play threat, but his impressive volume and favorable matchup make him a fringe top-36 fantasy receiver in PPR leagues.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jake Bobo should be the No. 3 pass catcher in Seattle's offense in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. With both DK Metcalf (knee) and Noah Fant (groin) out, Bobo is next in line. The reality is that the targets will likely be consolidated between wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett (oblique), and running back Kenneth Walker III. However, Bobo is a quality young player that we have seen have a solid game or two over the course of his two-year career. Bobo has been buried on the depth chart behind a bevy of high-end pass catchers in Seattle. He is a large receiver who could be active around the red zone with no Metcalf or Fant to occupy that area. He could be worth a flyer in deeper leagues because he should see a handful of targets in a game that projects to have a lot of passing volume on both sides.
Still trying to decide between Douglas and Bobo? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Demario Douglas is projected to score 9.4 points this week while Jake Bobo is projected to score 1.6 points.
