Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Jalen Coker

Friday, October 17, 5:24 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been a solid performer of late and looks to keep that going when the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. With 17 targets in his last two games, Doubs has paced the Packers over the last couple of weeks in the target-earning department. Of all the pass-catchers in Green Bay, Doubs is considered the most dependable option in that regard. For the Packers' offense, it all comes down to the team having the intent to pass the ball, which has not always been the game plan in most weeks. Still, Doubs is a solid flex option against the Cardinals in Week 7, who have given up the 12th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the New York Jets. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to play after being a full participant in practice all week long. Coker is making his season debut and should immediately step into a significant role within Carolina's offense. Panthers general manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales have both been very clear about their optimism in Coker this season, with the former indicating that the receiver should step into the starting slot receiver role. The team's trust in Coker was most clear when they traded away Adam Thielen this past summer, opening the door for Coker to handle even more snaps. He's still behind Tetairoa McMillan on the depth chart, but he has a chance to carve out low-end WR3/flex value, especially if McMillan is shadowed by Sauce Gardner.
