Who Should I Start? Romeo Doubs or Xavier Legette

Friday, October 24, 4:54 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has quietly been one of the most reliable receivers on this Packers team this season and looks to keep that momentum rolling in the Packers' Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Doubs has had three straight games of eight or more targets, with at least five receptions and 55 yards in each of those games. With Doubs featured as the go-to wide receiver for Jordan Love, he's been meaningfully relied on to provide consistent production along with tight end Tucker Kraft. With the Packers facing the Steelers on Sunday night, and Pittsburgh allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, consider Doubs a solid WR3 option in Week 8.

Xavier Legette is coming off the best fantasy performance of his career last week against the New York Jets. The second-year wide receiver had nine catches for 92 receiving yards with one touchdown reception. He has experience working with Andy Dalton, catching two touchdowns in a three-game span from him in Weeks 4-6 last year. Fantasy players may be wondering if Legette can build on last week's performance or if it was just an outlier. If Buffalo gains a sizable lead, Legette could potentially boost his numbers as Carolina works from behind. Considering that there are six teams on bye for Week 8, Legette is worth a look as a streaming option, even though he has more to prove. Buffalo's defense ranks 15th in fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the last four weeks, so he is not facing a shutdown pass defense.
