Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Romeo Doubs

Friday, October 10, 11:26 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once considered a top wideout in the National Football League. Unfortunately, it appears those days are well behind him. In his first five games as a Titan, he's caught only seven passes (16 targets) for 52 yards. While the veteran had his first touchdown of the year in Week 5 against the Cardinals, it wasn't as a pass-catcher. Instead, it came after a wild sequence of events that included a Cam Ward interception followed by a Dadrion Taylor-Demerson fumble. With the Titans coming off a win, their first of the 2025 campaign, the team will look for another victory on Sunday versus the Raiders. Like Tennessee, Las Vegas hasn't looked good throughout the season. With that in mind, despite the favorable matchup on tap, Lockett hasn't played well enough to be classified as a starting option in any fantasy format.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has been a consistently inconsistent fantasy receiver throughout his career, with spike week games followed by games where he flat out disappears. In a Packers' offense that trends aggressively this season with downfield throws, quarterback Jordan Love has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in EPA per play and other similar metrics. For fantasy, we haven't seen that materialize to consistent fantasy success, but Doubs has been excellent over the last two games for the Packers. With a combined 17 targets and a 31 percent first-read target rate, Love is utilizing Doubs as his most consistent target through five games, but especially in recent games, as Doubs has had his two best fantasy finishes of the season (WR3 and WR30) in the last two weeks. For fantasy, Doubs has earned WR3 or high-end flex treatment in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
