Who Should I Start? Marquez Valdes-Scantling or Romeo Doubs

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad on Tuesday, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 31-year-old held a depth role in San Francisco earlier this season, catching four of his eight targets for 40 yards in five games played. Valdes-Scantling has bounced around, with Pittsburgh marking his fourth team in two seasons. The veteran has been a useful player at nearly every stop of his career and now reunites with his former Green Bay Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, in Pittsburgh. Valdes-Scantling's most productive season in the NFL came back in 2020 with Rodgers, where he caught a career high six touchdowns and led the league with 20.9 yards per reception.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has had a lackluster last few weeks of fantasy production, but looks to get back on track when the Lions face the Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving. After averaging eight targets per game in Week 6 through Week 9, Doubs is averaging just five targets per game in his last three games, with the Packers opting to get back to running the ball much more. In the last three contests, Doubs has had a combined seven receptions, 81 yards, and zero touchdowns in that span. He's taken a backseat in the pecking order to Christian Watson, who has asserted himself as a player who can earn targets. Even with Watson's emergence in recent weeks, this is still a good spot for Doubs. He's a solid flex play for fantasy managers this week, but just know that the points floor is a bit low.
