Patriots will play with four receivers tomorrow: Romeo Doubs DeMario Douglas Kyle Williams Efton Chism Doubs is set to be quarterback Drake
Maye's top target in Week 5 against the Raiders, with A. J. Brown on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain and Mack Hollins nursing a calf injury. The 26-year-old wideout has improved every week since a rough debut, when he went catchless and dropped a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. Doubs now has 12 catches for 203 yards with two touchdowns — both coming in Week 4 against the Bills — through four weeks. Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and Kyle Williams are the Patriots' only fully healthy wide receivers. He should play his biggest role of the young season Sunday against the Raiders.
