Who Should I Start? Joshua Palmer or Romeo Doubs

Friday, October 24, 12:13 PM

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) will not play in Week 8 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is also questionable and is in danger of missing a second straight game, so the Bills' offense could be a little short-handed on the road in Carolina as they come out of their bye week. If Kincaid misses a second straight game, look for receivers Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman to have higher fantasy ceilings with more targets from quarterback Josh Allen. Veteran Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, and Elijah Moore could also see the field more this weekend with Palmer out. The 26-year-old Palmer has been inconsistent in his first year in Buffalo, catching 14 of 20 targets for 234 yards and no touchdowns in six games. His next chance to play will be in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has quietly been one of the most reliable receivers on this Packers team this season and looks to keep that momentum rolling in the Packers' Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Doubs has had three straight games of eight or more targets, with at least five receptions and 55 yards in each of those games. With Doubs featured as the go-to wide receiver for Jordan Love, he's been meaningfully relied on to provide consistent production along with tight end Tucker Kraft. With the Packers facing the Steelers on Sunday night, and Pittsburgh allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, consider Doubs a solid WR3 option in Week 8.
