News: 3 days agoDouglas (ankle) caught two of three targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Jets.

Spin: Douglas made an immediate impact in his first action since Week 2. The rookie third-round pick capped the game's first drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch for his first NFL TD, then stayed in along the sideline to score again on a 63-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter. Miami utilizes a run-heavy approach when possible, but the Dolphins may be forced to throw more if they fall behind as expected in Week 8 against the Patriots, which could lead to more opportunities for Douglas.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Douglas was selected by the Dolphins in the third round of April's draft. Douglas is a tall, perimeter receiver with big hands and long arms who, after not seeing much work during two seasons at Florida, exploded for 60-877-6 and 54-846-7 receiving lines at Texas Tech over the last two seasons. His overall efficiency was underwhelming, including six drops and a shaky 1.81 YPRR in 2025. He impressed with a 4.39 40-yard dash at 206 pounds (111 speed score) at the combine. Douglas has a path to a large offensive role as a rookie (Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert and fellow rookie Chris Bell are his primary competition), but life may be tough in a rebuilding Miami offense led by unproven Malik Willis. He's only worth a late flier.
