Nearly six months after signing a four-year, $68 million deal with the Patriots, Doubs was essentially ignored in the season-opening loss to Seattle, earning just three targets and zero catches. An ugly drop in the fourth quarter preceded Drake Maye's second interception; Doubs admitted he wasn't "locked in enough" on the pass. With A.J. Brown out at least four weeks, the Patriots need Doubs to help pace a suddenly depleted passing attack.

Free-agent addition finished his Patriots debut with zero catches on three targets. Doubs had a bad drop on a wide-open pass that preceded an interception, and another target in his direction was also intercepted. Despite the poor debut, head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in Doubs' ability to improve, noting that everyone drops passes and that Doubs did great things during camp. Vrabel expects Doubs to get back to work and find a way to help the team win.

Doubs is the wide receiver to target while A.J. Brown is sidelined with a high-ankle sprain expected to keep him out at least four weeks. Although Mack Hollins played more snaps and was part of the starting offense, his role was primarily blocking in a run-heavy approach and he has never been a dominant receiver at age 32. DeMario Douglas saw seven targets but played over 80% of his snaps out of the slot. Doubs, just signed to a four-year, $68 million contract at age 26, had a 76% route share in the second half of Week 1 after Brown's injury, second only to Douglas. New England plays the Steelers in Week 2 as 4.5-point favorites, meaning they shouldn't play from behind, which makes Douglas less enticing. Poniatowski prefers Doubs as the player most likely to find value from the Brown injury.

Doubs' trade value is falling after a tough Week 1 performance with a drop and a 42.5 offensive grade from PFF. However, there is a glass-half-full angle: A.J. Brown's four-week IR stint will allow Doubs to get more reps with Drake Maye. After Brown exited in the third quarter, Doubs never left the field with a route rate of 84.6%, target share of 15.0%, and air yard share of 40.4%. He was second in targets and first in air yards, and Maye looked his way under duress. But a receiving aDOT of 22.3 air yards is a red flag that should change as the offense adjusts without its intended WR1. The Patriots' schedule is tough for the next few weeks, but Doubs will have a favorable run (Raiders, Jets, Bears, Dolphins, revenge game vs. Packers) after he syncs with Maye.
