Miami Dolphins wide receiver Caleb Douglas pulled in four receptions for 43 yards on six targets in Week 8 against the New England Patriots.

Where Did Last Week’s End Zone Magic Go?

Man, after last week’s absolute show where Douglas found the end zone *twice* returning from injury, you just expected him to light it up again, right? But that momentum? It evaporated. He didn’t manage to score any touchdowns this time out. After a two-score game, you want to see that carry over, especially when you’re trying to establish yourself. It felt like a bit of a letdown after the excitement from his return.

A Glimmer of Consistency, Maybe?

Now, it wasn’t *all* bad. Those four receptions were his highest since way back in Week 1 out in Las Vegas. He also snagged at least 43 receiving yards in three of his four games so far this season. So, there’s a base level he’s hitting. He is still hanging in there as a solid WR5 option in most fantasy leagues, which is something, I guess. He got touches, he got yards, but the fireworks from last week? Those stayed in the past. We’ll have to see if he can find that end zone fire again next time out.
