Who Should I Start? Josh Jacobs or Romeo Doubs

Sunday, October 12, 8:08 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs carried the ball 18 times for 93 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also caught all five of his targets for an additional 57 receiving yards. Jacobs now has four rushing touchdowns over his last two games, taking advantage of favorable matchups and showcasing his ability to succeed around the goal line. He also has a total of 14 catches and 172 receiving yards over his last three contests. Jacobs' contributions in the passing game have been quite refreshing after he saw just one target over the first two weeks of the season. Between his pass-catching role and scoring tendencies, Jacobs has re-solidified himself as a solid RB1 option. Fantasy managers should get excited about his favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs is coming off by far his best game of the season in Week 4, with an awesome three-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Doubs looks to keep that momentum going post-bye in Week 6 as the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals. Week 4's final stat line against the Cowboys, aside from the touchdowns, was Doubs catching 6-of-8 targets for 58 yards. On the season, Doubs is tied with tight end Tucker Kraft with 19 targets and is second to Kraft in receptions and yards. Despite the raw totals, Doubs is averaging less than five targets, just over three receptions, and 45 yards in per-game statistics. With bye weeks here for fantasy, Doubs is a little bit of a reach for fantasy lineups, but in a good matchup against the Bengals in Week 6, Doubs is merely a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.
