New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has seen improvement since Drake Maye took over as quarterback, averaging 4.2 receptions and 40.6 receiving yards over the past five weeks. Despite limited fantasy points, he remains a viable flex option against the Los Angeles Rams' struggling defense.

Other notable players include Quentin Johnston of the Los Angeles Chargers, who has shown promise in his second year, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba of the Seattle Seahawks, who has benefitted from a standout performance.
