Who Should I Start? Jakobi Meyers or Romeo Doubs

Friday, October 10, 8:31 PM

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen his fantasy relevance fade in recent weeks and should be avoided in starting lineups heading into Week 6. Despite the Raiders frequently playing from behind, their passing game ranks just 15th through five weeks, with Meyers failing to separate himself from the pack. He saw an even target share with Tre Tucker and practice-squad call-up Albert Okwuegbunam in Week 5, signaling a troubling trend for the veteran wideout. The emergence of Tucker, combined with the Raiders' growing emphasis on the running game led by Ashton Jeanty, has further diminished Meyers' role. Until he reclaims consistent targets, Meyers should be treated as a low-end WR3 or bench option in standard formats heading into this week's matchup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs recorded five catches for 55 yards on a season-high nine targets in Week 6. Doubs has 18 catches for 234 yards and four touchdowns on 28 targets across five games this season, and 17 of his 28 targets have come in Green Bay's last two games. Most encouragingly for his fantasy outlook, the 25-year-old continues to play the clear WR1 role in his team's offense. Doubs has played at least 85% of the Packers' offensive snaps in each of the team's last three games, and he's the only Packers wideout to play 80% of the snaps in any game this season. Doubs should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 10 or more teams heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.
