News: 1 day agoDoubs failed to bring in any of his three targets during the Patriots' 13-10 loss to the Seahawks on Wednesday.

Spin: The veteran offseason addition had a highly inauspicious debut, despite the fact he'd frequently impressed this summer and the Patriots lost A.J. Brown to an ankle injury on the first possession of the second half. Doubs was also the intended receiver on Drake Maye's first interception of the night, getting outleapt for a long pass by Nehemiah Pritchett early in the fourth quarter. Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports Brown was seen exiting the Patriots' locker room with a walking boot following Wednesday's game, so Doubs could be pressed into an elevated role for the Week 2 home opener against the Steelers on Sunday, Sept. 20, despite his poor showing.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Doubs signed with the Patriots during free agency after spending his first four NFL seasons with the Packers. He was a serviceable player during his Green Bay tenure, but he never finished a season in the top 30 among receivers in targets, catches, yards or fantasy points. Consistently mediocre, Doubs has averaged either 10.2 or 10.3 fantasy PPG each of the last three seasons. In New England, Doubs is likely to settle in as Drake Maye's No. 2 target behind A.J. Brown, though his target ceiling figures to be capped with the likes of DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams also in the mix at receiver. Doubs, 26, is a fine addition to your bench, but his upside is limited.
