Who Should I Start? Amon-Ra St. Brown or Romeo Doubs

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was largely held in check by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. St. Brown still hauled in nine catches on 10 targets, but he recorded just 45 receiving yards and was held out of the end zone. The 25-year-old has logged 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games so far this season. He should have an easier matchup on paper in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) through six weeks. Despite the mediocre performance in Week 6, St. Brown remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been a consistently inconsistent fantasy receiver throughout his career, with spike week games followed by games where he flat out disappears. In a Packers' offense that trends aggressively this season with downfield throws, quarterback Jordan Love has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in EPA per play and other similar metrics. For fantasy, we haven't seen that materialize to consistent fantasy success, but Doubs has been excellent over the last two games for the Packers. With a combined 17 targets and a 31 percent first-read target rate, Love is utilizing Doubs as his most consistent target through five games, but especially in recent games, as Doubs has had his two best fantasy finishes of the season (WR3 and WR30) in the last two weeks. For fantasy, Doubs has earned WR3 or high-end flex treatment in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
