Who Should I Start? Christian Kirk or Romeo Doubs

Saturday, October 4, 11:08 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk caught three of four targets for 20 yards last week in his team's 26-0 win over the Titans, and he will look to continue to work his way into a volume role against the Ravens this week, after missing the first two weeks of the season. He played 61% of snaps in Week 4 after playing 67% in Week 3. With the Texans playing from ahead, they didn't throw the ball as muh in Week 4, though, so his targets decreased. The veteran wideout continues to find a way to carve out a role in Houston's underwhelming passing offense, and he seems to be the primary slot option and secondary receiver behind Nico Collins. The Ravens have been very beatable through the air so he does have potential flier upside even though his WR43 ranking on RotoBaller means he's not an ideal flex solution.

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.
