Who Should I Start? Diontae Johnson or Romeo Doubs

Tuesday, October 28, 5:33 PM

Free-agent wide receiver Diontae Johnson is working out with the New York Giants on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnson was with the Cleveland Browns during training camp and the preseason, but he was cut before the start of the regular season and hasn't joined a team since. The 29-year-old former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2019 out of Toledo spent time with the Carolina Panthers, Baltimore Ravens, and Houston Texans last year, catching a combined 33 passes on 67 targets for 375 yards and three touchdowns. The vast majority of his production came in Carolina, as he caught just three passes for 18 yards in five games with Baltimore and Houston to close out the year. It's been a notable fall for Johnson over the last year-plus, and if he were to sign with the G-Men, he'd merely be battling for a chance to join the active 53-man roster as receiver depth.

Across 16 games played in 2025, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs recorded 55 receptions for 724 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets. Doubs was Green Bay's most reliable wide receiver option through the early portion of the season, averaging 6.4 targets per game over his first 10 contests. However, his role was diminished down the stretch, as he averaged just 3.5 targets per game over his final six outings. Doubs' playing time dropped off in the second half of the season as well, as he played more than 76% of the Packers' offensive snaps in just two games after Week 10. Green Bay will face the Chicago Bears in the first round of the NFC playoffs on Saturday night. Doubs had a big game against Chicago in Week 16, recording five catches for 84 yards and a touchdown on six targets. However, he struggled mightily against the Bears in Week 14, going without a reception on two targets. Based on his late-season inconsistency and the question marks around his role in the Green Bay offense, Doubs profiles as a low-end wide receiver option for fantasy managers in playoff leagues.
