Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Alec Pierce

Tuesday, December 9, 3:24 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs' recent downturn over the last four games has coincided with Christian Watson's ascension in the Packers' offense as the top target. Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games. Despite that, Doubs has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his previous four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs posted his worst full-game performance of the season, with just two catchless targets. Doubs had some trust in the middle of the season when tight end Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, Doubs is a desperation flex play at best.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Pierce suffered an undisclosed injury at the end of last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but now we know it was a rib ailment. It doesn't appear to be anything serious with Pierce already back to being a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers should fully expect Pierce to be ready to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 on Sunday on the road. His fantasy value will take a hit with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the rest of the season. Pierce isn't as appealing with either Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) making the start in a tough road matchup this weekend.
