DeMario Douglas inherits a significant portion of A.J. Brown's vacated target share, elevating his role in the passing game.
Our own read · beta — not a trade price.
A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs occupy the top two receiver spots and will absorb the offense's highest-value targets, capping Douglas's ceiling as a shallow-aDOT (9.2) complementary piece rather than a true WR2.
Snap and target shares swung wildly across the 2025 playoff run (41% snaps down to 19% down to 5%), showing a matchup-dependent role with a soft week-to-week floor even as the overall trend points up.
Continued development from Drake Maye behind an offense that reached the Super Bowl in the 2025 season supports an efficient, high-floor passing environment for New England's complementary pass catchers.
New England's 2026 draft capital went to a tight end (Eli Raridon, R3) and late-round QB/RB, not a wide receiver, leaving Douglas's depth-chart standing over Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, and Efton Chism unthreatened by rookie competition.
