Jalen Reagor Expected To Become A Starter

Jalen Reagor Expected To Become A Starter

one year ago

There is more opportunity in the New England Patriots pass-catching group now that receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) is done for the year with a torn ACL. Wideouts Jalen Reagor, rookie Demario Douglas and JuJu Smith-Schuster are now the top three pass-catchers on the depth chart, with second-year receiver Tyquan Thornton and rookie Kayshon Boutte next in line. Thornton was a healthy scratch in the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins, and Boutte has been inactive since Week 1. Reagor drew praise from head coach Bill Belichick for his work as a scout-team receiver and he was signed to the active roster last week. The speedy former first-rounder has a chip on his shoulder and feels like he has nothing to lose. Douglas is the more attractive fantasy dart throw off the waiver wire. He's a quick slot receiver whose playing time has spiked the last two weeks (13 targets).
