Romeo Doubs 2026 Fantasy Impact: New England Patriots

Although the addition of A.J. Brown was the bigger headline for the New England Patriots this season, newcomer Romeo Doubs will still make a strong impact in the 2026 NFL season. In one brief offseason, the Pats went from barely having a WR1 to having one of the best receiving cores in the AFC. As a WR2, it’s unclear what ADP (average draft position) Doubs will end up with. He is certainly a capable weapon, but history has proven his production can ebb and flow depending on how many catches he can get.

Romeo Doubs 2025 Stats and Fantasy Production

Doubs stats from last season arguably reflect what an ideal WR2 should be doing in the NFL. His stats are a little all over the place, but when either Christian Watson or Jalen Reed wasn’t able to take over, Doubs would have strong performances.

This explains how he can have 4.5 fantasy points one week and 29.5 fantasy points the following week (Weeks 4 and 5 from last season to be exact). The key stat for Doubs was receptions; if he touched the ball four times or more, he usually got double-digit fantasy points. Otherwise, he didn’t have much of an impact, but it’s not like the Packers were short of receiving options last year.

Doubs 2026 Fantasy Outlook

Doubs is likely to have a very similar season to last year. He won’t be targeted often in every game because he’ll be competing with A.J. Brown and Kayshon Boutte for passes. When he is open, however, he should be a reliable pass catcher. Last season he had a 69% success rate against coverage, so he is certainly a difficult receiver to follow around the field.

Despite being a competent receiver, Romeo Doubs isn’t a player that can anchor a receiver room for a fantasy football team. Right now (albeit very early in fantasy football draft season), Doubs has an ADP of 115, which is 50th among wide receivers. That means that drafters might not even get to him in a shorter league.

Where Doubs has the most value is in wide leagues where the pool of top-tier wide receivers dries up very quickly. Ideally, Doubs would make a great WR3 behind two studs. Some players might need to take him earlier, though, if they go with a running back-heavy build or simply miss out on receivers early on. Basically, when drafters can’t find premier prospects anymore, that’s the time to pick up Doubs because he can at least put up WR1 numbers during some games in the season.

Final Thoughts

Like with any wide receiver room, the key with Doubs is to monitor the targets he gets versus his teammates to determine his long-term value. That’s doubly important this season early on, because Drake Maye might be giving more targets to veterans like Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte just because the chemistry is already there. If Doubs goes undrafted in a league, still keep his name in mind. As the season goes on, Doubs could see more and more targets and therefore become a good roster stash.
