Romeo Doubs Faces Crucial Moment for Packers and Fantasy Owners
When it comes to fantasy football, one of the toughest parts of the week is figuring out who to start and who to leave on the bench. And right now, Romeo Doubs of the Green Bay Packers is right in the middle of that debate. His name has been circulating because his usage and consistency have raised some real questions for both Packers fans and fantasy managers.
In Week 1, Doubs put up a team-high 68 receiving yards, but the way he got there wasn’t exactly sustainable. He was only running routes on about 65 percent of Green Bay’s dropbacks, and his efficiency numbers—like yards per route run—were way above what can realistically be repeated every week. Yes, he pulled in an 18 percent target share and was the first read on a handful of plays, but those numbers alone don’t scream “must-start.” Many analysts have already suggested that if there’s a better option sitting on your waiver wire, it wouldn’t be crazy to swap him out.

That said, this isn’t just a fantasy football conversation—it’s also a pivotal moment for Doubs in real life. He’s heading into a contract year with the Packers, and the expectations are heavy. Last season wasn’t exactly a smooth ride. Injuries, concussions, and even a suspension slowed him down, and he ended with just over 600 receiving yards and four touchdowns across 13 games. On top of that, the drops have been a lingering issue. Fifteen in two years is a number that gets noticed, and fans haven’t forgotten that costly drop against Detroit last season.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Green Bay opens against the Lions again, and history hasn’t been kind to Doubs in that matchup. In five career games against Detroit, he’s hauled in 17 catches for 178 yards—but no touchdowns. He’s got the size and speed to be a difference-maker, especially with Christian Watson sidelined and Jayden Reed banged up. But the spotlight is brighter than ever, because the Packers need someone to step up and become Jordan Love’s reliable target. If it isn’t Doubs, it has to be someone else in that wide receiver room, whether that’s Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, or one of the other young guys.
Adding to the pressure, Doubs and the Packers face the Washington Commanders next, a defense that has consistently limited passing yards and kept receivers out of the end zone. It’s not an easy test, and it means Doubs has to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way.
So, where does this leave us? For fantasy football managers, Doubs is more of a “wait and see” than a sure-fire starter. For the Packers, though, this stretch of games could define whether he’s part of their long-term plans. One breakout performance could silence doubts and put him back in the conversation as a go-to option. But if the inconsistency continues, both the team and fantasy players may start moving on.
