Romeo Doubs Will Help Fill the Void at Wideout for Patriots

Wednesday, March 11, 8:04 AM

The New England Patriots agreed to a four-year, $68 million deal with former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Wednesday, and The Athletic's Chad Graff believes he "can make up for a lot of the production over the middle" that former receiver Stefon Diggs brought in 2025. Doubs can also play on the outside and should help New England's red-zone woes (20 of his 23 career touchdowns have come in the red zone). Doubs is only 25 years old and also thrives on the deep ball, which has become a specialty for quarterback Drake Maye. Diggs finished the regular season last year with 1,017 receiving yards and four touchdowns. In Green Bay, Doubs had 724 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 55 receptions in 16 regular-season games. It's certainly a great landing spot for Doubs' fantasy value going into 2026, but his true ceiling will depend on what else the Pats do at the position in free agency, via trade, and in the NFL draft in April.

Ricky Pearsall Could Be Stuck in the WR2 Role in San Francisco

Thursday, March 12, 7:01 AM

A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has missed 14 games due to injury over the first two years of his NFL career. When healthy, Pearsall's production has been more solid than spectacular. Across nine games played in 2025, the 25-year-old hauled in 36 receptions for 528 yards and zero touchdowns on 53 targets. The 49ers made one of the biggest splashes of the early portion of free agency by signing veteran wide receiver Mike Evans to a three-year deal. While the 32-year-old Evans may no longer be the player he once was at his peak, he still projects as San Francisco's top outside wideout and could push Pearsall to the WR2 role. On the bright side for Pearsall's production outlook, the 49ers could be losing wide receiver Jauan Jennings to free agency and will likely be without star tight end George Kittle (Achilles) for a chunk of 2026 as Kittle recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. Still, the signing of Evans could signal that San Francisco does not view Pearsall as a number-one wide receiver option going forward and may be bad news for his long-term dynasty outlook.
