Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Alec Pierce

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden kicked off training camp as the two starters in two-WR sets, according to team reporter Weston Hodkiewicz. While Day 1 training-camp usage should be taken with a grain of salt, this could signal that Jayden Reed will continue to be primarily utilized in three-WR sets. Reed has provided boom weeks for fantasy managers through the first two seasons of his career despite ranking outside the top 70 wide receivers in snap share. It comes as no surprise that Golden, a rookie first-round pick out of Texas, is running with the first team offense, and the team could be hoping he develops into the clear No. 1 wide receiver for Jordan Love. Ultimately, Reed will remain on the fantasy football radar, but his ceiling is limited if Green Bay continues to be unwilling to play him as a full-time receiver.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot) returned to practice Tuesday after sitting out Monday with a blister in his foot. Pierce has stood out early in camp as he enters a contract year. The 25-year-old led the NFL with a sky-high 22.3 yards per catch and picked up seven touchdowns in 2024, but he only caught 37 passes on 69 targets. Pierce continues to deal with a less-than-stellar situation at quarterback with Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson Sr. vying for the job. There are also a handful of other Colts who could eat into his targets. Pierce finished third on the team in targets last year, trailing well behind Michael Pittman Jr. and Josh Downs, and the Colts have since added first-round tight end Tyler Warren.
