Romeo Doubs

Doubs was the WR46 in fantasy points per game last year, which was influenced greatly by touchdowns. Last season, Doubs was fourth among wideouts in end zone target while also ranking seventh in receiving touchdowns (eight). His per-route efficiency metrics were not great by any stretch of the imagination. Among 81 qualifying receivers, he was 50th in target share, 57th in receiving yards per game, and 56th in yards per route run. Doubs, however, was one of Green Bay's go-to guys against Cover 3 and Cover 6, so there's some flex appeal hope for Week 1. The Eagles defense will likely deploy heavy Cover 3 and Cover 6 usage this year after Vic Fangio dialed it up on 59.7% of the Dolphins' defensive snaps last year. Last season, in Weeks 5-13, against Cover 3 and Cover 6, Doubs led the team with a 16.3% target share and a 19.5% first-read share while also sitting at second with a 32.9% air-yard share. He only produced 1.18 yards per route run, but if the volume is there this week, it might not matter much. Doubs will run about 84% of his routes against Darius Slay (64.3% catch rate and 84.3 passer rating) and rookie Quinyon Mitchell.

Romeo Doubs caught four of his seven targets for 50 yards in a 34-29 loss to the Eagles in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact

Doubs led the Packers in targets and tied for the lead with his four catches. His usage in the season opener was encouraging as he has to fight for targets with other talented receivers Jayden Reed and Christian Watson. Doubs will be a solid flex play in Week 2 when the Packers face the Colts.
