Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Romeo Doubs

Saturday, December 27, 10:54 AM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer struggled in Week 16, catching his only target for two yards in the Bills' victory over the Cleveland Browns. Despite both Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman being healthy inactive last week, Palmer failed to capitalize on his opportunities. Palmer has dealt with injuries in his first season in Buffalo, suffering a high-ankle sprain that cost him four weeks earlier in the season. The Bills face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell is likely to shadow the top receiver in Buffalo, and that assignment could be Palmer. With him already struggling entering this brutal matchup, Palmer is in a tough spot this week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a nice week in Week 16 and looks to parlay that into a second consecutive nice game as the Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens in a pivotal Week 17 showdown. In Week 16 against the Bears, Doubs put up a 5-82-1 line on six targets, leading the Packers in all receiving categories as Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) left the game and Malik Willis came in. Both quarterbacks are questionable for Saturday's Week 17 tilt, leaving some doubt about how much the Packers will pass the ball. With Christian Watson (shoulder/illness) questionable for Saturday's game, Doubs could see more targets directed his way if Watson doesn't play. However, with Green Bay's willingness to run the ball, passing volume is an issue for any Green Bay pass-catcher. Consider Doubs a low-end flex play for Week 17's matchup against Baltimore, which allows the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers.
