New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas (illness) returned to Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London during the fourth quarter. According to the NFL Network broadcast, Douglas is working through an illness and will continue trying to play, but he may be limited for the remainder of the contest. Hunter Henry and Kayshon Boutte should earn additional opportunities if Douglas isn't 100 percent.
New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas (illness) is questionable to return against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He was involved in the first half but then exited around halftime. At the time of his departure, he had caught two of three targets for 14 yards. Douglas was Drake Maye's favorite target last week, but the rookie quarterback will now turn to tight end Hunter Henry as his preferred option in the passing game. Kayshon Boutte and Ja'Lynn Polk should also see additional opportunities with Douglas on the sideline.
New England Patriots wide receiver Javon Baker (illness) and Tyquan Thornton (coach's decision) are inactive for Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Baker has repeatedly been inactive, failing to log an offensive snap since Week 2. While he has typically been sidelined as a coach's decision, he's inactive this week with an illness. That's merely a technicality, of course, as Baker likely would have been a healthy scratch even if he wasn't ill. The rookie is still searching for his first NFL target and will have to wait at least one more week. Thornton, meanwhile, has been the subject of trade rumors lately but lacks significant fantasy appeal; he hasn't registered a reception since catching two passes back in the season opener. Both players can be dropped in all redraft and most dynasty leagues.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction entering the weekend. In the end, the 26-year-old missed just one game due to the injury. His return this week bumps Antonio Gibson out of the starting role. Stevenson, who is averaging 78 scrimmage yards and 0.6 touchdowns per game this season, ranks as a low-end fantasy RB2 in his return. He gets help from a favorable matchup against the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-most receptions and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing running backs so far this season.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (foot) is expected to suit up for the Week 7 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Stevenson was able to return to practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week. It sounds like the organization plans to have Stevenson available this weekend, barring any setbacks. They haven't promoted a running back from the practice squad, so it'll probably be Antonio Gibson and Stevenson in the backfield. Gibson struggled as the lead back last week, so Stevenson could see a bigger role this weekend. If active, Stevenson should be on the RB2 radar for this matchup with the Jaguars in London.
