Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Jalen Tolbert

Wednesday, August 6, 5:17 PM

Zach Jacobson of 247 Sports writes that "something is just different about" wide receiver Romeo Doubs this summer at training camp. "His top-end speed has reached a new level. Feels like there's a new clip every day of him getting behind the secondary." Christian Watson (knee) could miss half of the season after tearing his ACL late last year, but the Packers added receiver Matthew Golden in the first round, so the Packers' wideout room is still very crowded. The 25-year-old Doubs had 46 catches on 72 targets for 601 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games (12 starts) in 2024 in his third year in the league. He saw about the same volume as 2023 but had a career-high 13.1 yards per catch and 8.3 yards per target. Doubs is probably going to continue to struggle to stand out in Green Bay's offense and is currently ranked at RotoBaller as the WR60 in fantasy.

With the addition of wide receiver George Pickens via trade on Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys pass-catcher Jalen Tolbert will now operate as the team's No. 3 wideout in 2025 behind CeeDee Lamb and Pickens. Tolbert could also face competition from KaVontae Turpin for the role, but the 26-year-old should have the leg up for the WR3 job after a career year in 2024 in which he set career-highs in catches (49), targets (79), receiving yards (610) and touchdowns (seven) in 17 games (15 starts). Even in what should be a pass-happy Cowboys offense with quarterback Dak Prescott returning from his hamstring injury, Tolbert just won't have enough volume to make him worthy starting on a weekly basis in most fantasy leagues. However, if one of Lamb or Pickens misses time with an injury, Tolbert will be an attractive waiver-wire pickup.
