Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Romeo Doubs

Sunday, December 28, 5:19 PM

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson (forearm) has already been ruled out for Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to interim head coach Mike McCoy. His season is over. Jefferson picked up the injury during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. At the time of his departure, he led the team with three catches for 46 yards on three targets. After the game, McCoy was quick to rule out Jefferson for the last week of the season. While not a top fantasy threat, Jefferson had recently taken on a larger role after Calvin Ridley (leg) landed on injured reserve. Chimere Dike, Elic Ayomanor, and Mason Kinsey will operate as the Titans' top receivers against a Jaguars secondary that has been playing at a high level lately.

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman writes that Green Bay Packers impending free-agent wide receiver Romeo Doubs "is as good as gone in free agency." Doubs is coming off a strong fourth year in the NFL and is fully expected to sign a multi-year extension with a new team this offseason after catching 55 of his 85 targets for a career-high 724 yards and six touchdowns in 16 regular-season games. The 25-year-old former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of Nevada probably won't become a No. 1 wideout with a change of scenery, but he's an underrated player and should be easily considered a top-five free agent at his position going into next season. Doubs has 202 receptions for 2,424 yards and 21 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons, and with the right offense, he could become a priority target as a No. 2 or 3 wideout in fantasy in 2026.
