Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has had an "outstanding" offseason, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. The 2022 fourth-round pick hauled in 59 passes for 674 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and he delivered a six-catch, 151-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Wild Card win over the Dallas Cowboys. The 24-year-old should remain one of Jordan Love's favorite targets in 2024, though the team's pass-catching group is crowded with Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, Luke Musgrave, and Tucker Kraft. Given the uncertainty of the target pecking order, all of the Green Bay receivers and tight ends have an ADP outside the top 70 picks, and Doubs presents a potential value pick at his 138.4 ADP in classic FFPC drafts.
Romeo Doubs Leads Packers In Receiving In Divisional Round Loss
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught four of six targets for 83 yards during the team's 21-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. After an up-and-down regular season, the second-year receiver showed up in the playoffs, gaining 234 yards on 10 receptions and being a favorite target for quarterback Jordan Love. The Packers have a number of impressive rookie wide receivers that showed up this season and plenty of mouths to feed around the entire offense, including 2022 first-round draft selection Christian Watson. Doubs will always face stiff competition for targets, but it speaks volumes that when everyone was healthy during this playoff run, he was one of his quarterback's favorite targets.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The second-year receiver had a career outing last week against the Dallas Cowboys, gaining 151 yards on six receptions and scoring a touchdown in the fourth quarter to put any hopes of a comeback out of reach. The Packers had all of their receivers back healthy for the first time in a while last week, but it seemed to help Doubs more than hinder him. However, both Christian Watson and Jayden Reed played fewer than 50% of the snaps and should see their roles increase this weekend. Doubs remains a flex option in DFS, but managers should not expect the same outcome as last week with all the mouths that need to be fed in Green Bay.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught all six of his targets for 151 yards and a touchdown during the team's 48-32 win over the Dallas Cowboys. It has been a roller coaster ride of a season for the second-year receiver, as he could not get into a rhythm consistently during the regular season. However, Doubs consistently found himself open in the middle of the field against the Dallas defense Sunday night and gashed them for massive gains all game long. His three-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter with 10 minutes to go put the Packers up 48-16 and put the game completely out of reach for Dallas. When the Packers wide receiver corps is healthy, any of them could have a monster game. Sunday was Doubs night, and he will look to parlay that success into another big game next week against the 49ers.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL playoffs. The 23-year-old has dealt with a chest injury that left him limited in practice this past week, but he was left off of the final injury report and will be good to go Sunday. Doubs has been incredibly touchdown-dependent for fantasy this season, failing to capitalize when his role was increased due to others missing time with injuries. Now, the second-year receiver will have to face off against a stiff Dallas defense and have more target competition than ever. The only Packers wide receiver with an injury designation entering the weekend is Christian Watson (hamstring). Rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks both ended the year on a high note, and Bo Melton has been a surprise bright spot down the stretch. Doubs is an incredibly risky DFS option on Sunday.
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs (chest) and Christian Watson (hamstring) were both listed as limited participants in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. After getting injured in the Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears and requiring a trip to the hospital, Doubs said he's "feeling normal" heading into Sunday's wild-card playoff contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Although Doubs and Watson could both end up playing this weekend, they are both very shaky fantasy options in DFS in a shy-away matchup against a strong Dallas secondary that plays much better at home. Watson missed his fifth game in a row in Week 18. He's trending toward a return, but choosing a player for DFS lineups that may be knocking off rust isn't exactly enticing.
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs (chest) and Christian Watson (hamstring) were both limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Doubs left Sunday's Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears with a chest injury and took a trip to the hospital. He was coughing up blood, but the Packers called him day-to-day on Monday, giving him a chance to play in Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys. Watson has missed five straight games but is trending toward a return after being close to playing in the regular season finale. Having all of his receivers healthy for the start of the postseason would be great news for quarterback Jordan Love, but it's going to be hard for fantasy managers to rely on either Watson or Doubs if they play. Rookie Jayden Reed is the highest-priced Packers wideout on DraftKings at $5,700 for wild-card weekend.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) left the Week 18 regular season finale against the Chicago Bears early on Sunday and was taken to the hospital. Doubs returned to the locker room after the victory but said on the radio that he was coughing up blood. Head coach Matt LaFleur called Doubs day-to-day ahead of this Sunday's wild-card playoff matchup in Dallas against the Cowboys. We're glad the 23-year-old pass-catcher is OK, but it sounds pretty serious and that he may not be available this weekend. Those playing DFS will want to check on his practice status this week. If he cannot go against Dallas, rookies Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton would step into larger roles. The Packers will also be hoping to get Christian Watson (hamstring) back for the first time since Week 13.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (chest) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Prior to departing, he was targeted in the end zone but failed to haul in the pass. The Packers are somewhat shorthanded with both Doubs and Christian Watson (hamstring, inactive) sidelined, though they should feel solid about their passing attack with Jordan Love throwing to the likes of Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Tucker Kraft, among others.
Romeo Doubs' Role Unclear Heading Into Season Finale
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will face off against the Chicago Bears in Week 18. The second-year receiver has been in the starting rotation, with many of the receivers around him going down due to injury over the past several weeks, yet his production has remained inconsistent. This week, however, could see his role change in the offense. Christian Watson (hamstring) has his first chance to return since going down in Week 13, while Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are also questionable and will potentially play. Doubs' role as a starting receiver could be in jeopardy if all three are active. Reed and Wicks have been more productive at times over the back half of the season, while Watson's role as the top receiver is locked in. Doubs' fantasy value has been boom or bust as a clear starter, but he will be even more volatile now if Watson, Reed, and Wicks are active. Consider the 23-year-old a risky flex in Week 18.
