Romeo Doubs Joins Patriots: A New Era Begins for Drake Maye's Top Target
Romeo Doubs has signed a four-year, $70 million contract with the New England Patriots, positioning himself as a potential No. 1 receiver for the team in 2026. This move not only enhances his Fantasy value but also raises questions about whether the Patriots will continue to bolster their receiving corps this offseason. Fantasy managers should consider drafting Doubs as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver, likely in Round 6. With the opportunity to become the primary weapon for Drake Maye, Doubs could be on the verge of a career year. In his previous four seasons with the Green Bay Packers, Doubs averaged less than 12 PPR points per game, with his best season in 2025 featuring 55 catches for 724 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets, averaging 11.9 PPR points. He is expected to fill the shoes of Stefon Diggs, who averaged 14.2 PPR points per game in 2025, with 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns. Diggs averaged six targets per game last season, a solid figure for Doubs, who had eight games in 2025 with at least six targets and scored at least 13.2 PPR points in five of those games, averaging 16.8 PPR points during that stretch. While Doubs will compete for targets against Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, and Kyle Williams, he is expected to stand out among this group. The addition of Doubs is seen as a positive step for the Patriots, setting the stage for what could be the best year of his career.
