ESPN Fantasy Football on Caleb Douglas

ArticleThe Playbook: Shadow Reports, lineup locks and projected scores for Week 8Captured October 29, 2026

From the article

Douglas was limited to a mere three targets, which is the same number he saw in his most recent previous game (Week 2). Douglas aligns on the boundary 80% of the time, so the rookie will be in jeopardy of a major dud if Gonzalez is assigned to him.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Douglas' three-target ceiling and shadow risk vs. Gonzalez make him avoidable.

Douglas was limited to three targets on Sunday (same as Week 2 when he totaled 19 yards with no TDs) and will need substantially more than three targets per game to reach the flex radar; he aligns on the boundary 80% of the time and is in jeopardy of a major dud if Patriots corner Christian Gonzalez is assigned to shadow him, making this a situation to avoid for now.
