Romeo Doubs, now in his first season with the New England Patriots after signing a four-year deal in free agency, has opened 2026 with zero receiving touchdowns through two games despite stepping into an elevated role. A.J. Brown’s ankle injury has placed Doubs as the primary wideout opposite Drake Maye, yielding a 63-yard career-long reception and 96 yards in Week 2, though target volume remains modest and the passing attack has produced just one touchdown against four interceptions. Doubs has historically converted red-zone opportunities at a strong clip, posting 20 of his 21 career regular-season touchdowns inside the 20, with prior single-season highs of eight and six scores during his Packers tenure. The extended absence of Brown could sustain increased usage, but New England’s offensive efficiency and Maye’s turnover issues will shape Doubs’ touchdown upside over the full 17-game slate.
