Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Kayshon Boutte

Wednesday, October 22, 11:00 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has performed as the team's clear WR1 to open the 2025 season. Through six games, he's caught 24 of 36 targets for 306 yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the WR25 on a per-game basis. With Christian Watson and Jayden Reed sidelined and rookie Matthew Golden still being eased into the offense, Doubs has capitalized on the increased opportunity. The Packers face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. The Steelers' secondary has been shredded by top targets like Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Garrett Wilson. While Doubs isn't on that tier, he remains a strong fantasy start and a potential top 20 option for Week 8.

Against the Titans on Sunday, New England Patriots third-year wide receiver turned in his second consecutive strong fantasy performance, on the back of three touchdowns in the last two games. He has put up a respectable 148 receiving yards over that span, but has done it on only seven targets. Since leading the team in targets in the season opener, he has yet to see more than five looks in any other game, averaging under three targets per game in his last six games. Josh McDaniels' offense has long been difficult to predict for fantasy football, but fortunately for Boutte, by every metric, Drake Maye has been one of the best deep ball throwers in the league, adding value to each of those targets. With six teams on a Week 8 bye, Boutte becomes a high-priority waiver add wherever he's still available, and in many cases, can be plugged right into the starting lineup.
