New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas converted seven targets into five catches for 62 yards during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Douglas has continued to be one of the Patriots' most productive receivers in his second NFL season, bringing his season totals to 48 catches, 482 yards, and one touchdown so far this year. He'll remain a very intriguing, volume-based WR3/FLEX option heading into next week's game against the Indianapolis Colts.
New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught each of his four targets for 59 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Hooper's biggest play was a 38-yard touchdown reception that would end up being New England's only offensive touchdown of the game. The 30-year-old continues to look like one of the best No. 2 tight ends in the NFL; he remains behind Hunter Henry in the pecking order but has carved out a role for himself, catching at least three passes for the third consecutive week. He'll rank just outside the top 24 fantasy tight ends heading into Week 13 against Indianapolis.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 13 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also failed to catch either of his two targets. If it's any consolation, he did deliver a two-point conversion in the defeat. Still, the Patriots' lead running back had one of his worst games of the season, demonstrating reduced volume, limited production, and poor efficiency while failing to score a touchdown for the third week in a row. It was a disappointing and somewhat surprising finish from Stevenson given that he had 93 scrimmage yards and one touchdown the last time he faced the Dolphins. Moving forward, he's merely an RB3/FLEX option in fantasy football, including next week against the Indianapolis Colts.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Maye also rushed for 26 yards, took four sacks, and lost a fumble. Turnovers have been a major issue for the young quarterback in his first season. Through six full games, he has 11 turnovers (seven interceptions and four lost fumbles) and 11 total touchdowns. If he can do a better job protecting the football, he'll boost his fantasy value and create more scoring opportunities for the Patriots. For now, though, he ranks as a QB2 in fantasy football. He does have significant upside heading into Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.
New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson can be left out of fantasy lineups in Week 12 when his team takes on the Miami Dolphins on the road. The 26-year-old had a solid role in New England's passing game for a few weeks earlier this season, but his snap totals have dwindled since then while backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson gobbles up a large majority of the RB touches. The Dolphins have been a strong matchup for opposing running backs, averaging 18.6 fantasy points allowed per game to the position. Still, fantasy managers can safely avoid Gibson until his involvement in New England's offense drastically increases. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB45 in this week's rankings.
