Romeo Doubs injury update: Placed on IR, out at least 4 games (shoulder)

New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs is headed to injured reserve with a shoulder injury.

By Cole Hartwell

The New England Patriots placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve Monday, according to multiple reports. Doubs suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday’s 26-19 win over the New York Jets and will miss at least the next four games.

What happened

Doubs caught a 42-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye in the first quarter against the Jets. He came down hard and stayed on the ground after the play. Doubs received medical attention, walked to the sideline with trainers, and was initially deemed questionable to return with a shoulder injury. He was ruled out for the remainder of the game at the start of the third quarter.

On Monday, the Patriots placed Doubs on injured reserve. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Doubs is “hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye” and the current belief is his stint on IR will not be a long-term absence.

Context

Doubs has 14 receptions for 261 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season. He leads the Patriots in receiving yards and is tied for the team lead in touchdown catches. Doubs has 58.1 PPR points in six games.

Depth chart

A.J. Brown is listed as the Patriots’ top wide receiver on Sleeper’s depth chart. He has 11.3 PPR points in two games. DeMario Douglas is next, with 59.3 PPR points. Efton Chism has 25.6 PPR points, and Kyle Williams has 26.7 PPR points.

What’s next

Doubs will miss at least the next four games. Doubs is hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye, according to Fowler.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (IR, shoulder) is hopeful to return after the Week 11 bye, per source. Not expected to be a long-term absence at this point.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Doubs can be dropped in most redraft leagues after being placed on IR. He leads the Patriots in receiving yards, but his absence opens targets for A.J. Brown and DeMario Douglas. Brown returned from IR in Week 6 and saw 10 targets, catching three passes for 27 yards. Douglas has 59.3 PPR points this season and becomes a flex option. Efton Chism and Kyle Williams could see increased snaps, but neither is guaranteed consistent volume.
