Who Should I Start? K.J. Osborn or Romeo Doubs

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn brought in 3-of-6 targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 26-year-old got free in the flat for a nice 18-yard gain in the second quarter to push Minnesota over midfield. Osborn later committed a costly forth-quarter drop, but atoned for it by coming wide open for a 10-yard score later in that series to close the gap, making it a one-score game. It's worth noting he started the next drive with another drop, though. Osborn out-snapped rising rookie Jordan Addison 56-40, but the 2023 first-rounder is clearly threatening for more action after scoring another touchdown in this one. Despite the decent line, Osborn is an uninspiring Week 3 FLEX option when Minnesota takes on the visiting Los Angeles Chargers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught nine of 13 targets for 95 yards during the team's 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions Thursday. The return of Christian Watson did little to stop quarterback Jordan Love from feeding the second-year wide receiver, who now has 14 receptions on 25 targets through the past two weeks. Tight end Luke Musgrave (concussion) did leave the game before halftime, so his exit also played a factor. However, Doubs has been the clear favorite target of Love through the first month and should remain a reliable flex option moving forward. Six of his next seven matchups are great for fantasy wide receivers, with next week's game against Las Vegas being one where managers should consider the 23-year-old a top-tier WR3.
