New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt acknowledged the frustrations of Patriots receivers when meeting with the media on Thursday.

Wide receiver DeMario Douglas shared his concerns about his lack of targets earlier in the year, and on Wednesday, Kayshon Boutte expressed his concerns with the offensive play-calling.

The Patriots offense started to find life with rookie quarterback Drake Maye under center in the last two games. Still, the organization ranks towards the bottom of the league in overall offensive production. They are currently ranked 30th in the NFL with 262.9 offensive yards per game.

Van Pelt addressed the concerns of the wide receivers on Thursday.

"I think we all understand we're frustrated. ... I think that group in particular has to keep its focus inward," said Van Pelt, via the Boston Herald's Andrew Callahan.

The two leading pass-catchers in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars for New England were tight end Hunter Henry and running back JaMycal Hasty.

We'll see if things change in a tougher defensive matchup against the visiting New York Jets on Sunday.
