Doubs assumes WR1 role with A.J. Brown out 6+ weeks despite Week 1 prime-time bust.
Doubs should assume the WR1 role for the Patriots following A.J. Brown's IR placement with a high ankle sprain (expected to miss at least 6 weeks). Despite a catchless, poor prime-time performance in Week 1 against Seattle, Doubs was signed to a 4-year, $68 million contract after posting 55-724-6 in the regular season plus 8-124-1 in the playoffs with Green Bay despite being in a 5-man rotation. He was a top offseason performer with highlight-reel catches against Christian Gonzalez. His value may plummet due to Week 1 performance despite the improved situation. Suggested trade: Caleb Douglas plus other assets.
Doubs' share of 1 catch on 6 combined targets signals minimal role in Seattle offense.
Combined with Rashid Shaheed, the two wideouts totaled 1 catch for 4 yards, 1 interception, and 1 drop on 6 targets, indicating minimal involvement in Seattle's passing game.
Doubs' poor Week 1 (0 catches, 3 targets) and snap disadvantage raise concerns.
Doubs had a terrible game with zero catches on 3 targets (one intercepted); looks like nothing happened, but nothing would have been better than his negative contributions. Doubs was barely playing before A.J. Brown's injury, and Mack Hollins was playing ahead of him even in the first half (Hollins 17 snaps vs. Doubs 12 snaps in 12 personnel). His quarterback trust remains to be seen.
