Who Should I Start? Ray-Ray McCloud III or Romeo Doubs

In a surprise turn, the Atlanta Falcons have made wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III a healthy scratch from the Monday night contest against the visiting Buffalo Bills, according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is inactive for the Falcons' receiving corps, so Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, and Jamal Agnew could see bigger roles in the passing game behind Drake London. Both London and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should have slightly higher ceilings against Buffalo with Mooney out as well. McCloud has been a non-factor in fantasy in Atlanta in 2025, catching six of 14 targets for 64 yards and no touchdowns in four games played. His best game came in the season opener, when he had three catches for 51 yards in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been a consistently inconsistent fantasy receiver throughout his career, with spike week games followed by games where he flat out disappears. In a Packers' offense that trends aggressively this season with downfield throws, quarterback Jordan Love has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in EPA per play and other similar metrics. For fantasy, we haven't seen that materialize to consistent fantasy success, but Doubs has been excellent over the last two games for the Packers. With a combined 17 targets and a 31 percent first-read target rate, Love is utilizing Doubs as his most consistent target through five games, but especially in recent games, as Doubs has had his two best fantasy finishes of the season (WR3 and WR30) in the last two weeks. For fantasy, Doubs has earned WR3 or high-end flex treatment in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
