Romeo Doubs Set To Be No. 2 Receiver in New England

Thursday, September 3, 6:28 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs is set for a No. 2 receiver role in New England behind A.J. Brown following the trade of Kayshon Boutte to the Houston Texans. Doubs is joining New England from the Green Bay Packers where he averaged 10.3 points per game in PPR leagues and finished with a career high 13.2 yards per reception. All in all he had 85 targets and 55 receptions for 724 yards and six touchdowns. Look for Doubs to carry some value in New England's offense with his big-play ability opposite Brown on the outside with Drake Maye targeting him in the pass game. With the trade of Boutte, Doubs sees his value increase and he should be a nice value pick in fantasy leagues. Draft him with confidence in what looks to be a good offense in New England with a big opportunity.

Xavier Worthy Still Has a Path Back to Rookie Form

Friday, September 4, 11:45 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy still has a believable path back to the player fantasy managers saw as a rookie. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards and six touchdowns in 2024, then added 104 rushing yards and three more scores. Last season never really got going. Worthy dislocated his shoulder and tore his labrum on the third snap of Week 1, missed two games and played through the injury before having surgery in January. He finished with 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown. This summer brought another scare when Worthy sprained the same shoulder on Aug. 1, but he returned to practice nine days later and was back working with the offense later in camp. He remains a starter opposite Rashee Rice on Kansas City's current depth chart. Rice and Travis Kelce will keep the target ceiling in check, and the shoulder history can't be ignored. Still, Worthy's WR45 ranking leaves room for a rebound if better health brings back some of the explosiveness and touchdown production from his rookie year.
