Who Should I Start? Trevor Lawrence or Romeo Doubs

Thursday, December 25, 4:06 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been superb in the back half of the season, and there's reason to believe he'll keep the good times rolling against the hosting Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The Clemson product has been on a tear over the last month. Since Week 13, he's averaging a robust 270.5 passing yards per game with a sterling 12:0 TD:INT ratio. Moreover, he's begun utilizing his legs more often, adding strong production on the ground with a career-high seven rushing scores on the campaign, including five since Week 9. While Indy's defense has been a formidable spot for fantasy QBs, it's affording opposing offenses the second-most passing yards per game (250.7). With Lawrence playing on another level and the emergence of wide receivers Jakobi Meyers and Parker Washington, the signal-caller is in an excellent position to continue his recent torrid pace, and slots in as a high-end QB1 for Sunday's matchup.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a nice week in Week 16 and looks to parlay that into a second consecutive nice game as the Packers will host the Baltimore Ravens in a pivotal Week 17 showdown. In Week 16 against the Bears, Doubs put up a 5-82-1 line on six targets, leading the Packers in all receiving categories as Jordan Love (shoulder/concussion) left the game and Malik Willis came in. Both quarterbacks are questionable for Saturday's Week 17 tilt, leaving some doubt about how much the Packers will pass the ball. With Christian Watson (shoulder/illness) questionable for Saturday's game, Doubs could see more targets directed his way if Watson doesn't play. However, with Green Bay's willingness to run the ball, passing volume is an issue for any Green Bay pass-catcher. Consider Doubs a low-end flex play for Week 17's matchup against Baltimore, which allows the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers.
