Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Romeo Doubs

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson (back) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday ahead of Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jefferson's status improved after he missed practice altogether on Wednesday. The veteran receiver played at least 73% of the snaps in every game from Week 6 through Week 14, but his snap share dropped to 58% when he injured his back in Week 15. In nine games since Week 6, Jefferson has 43 targets, 20 catches, 256 yards, and one touchdown. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR71 in PPR leagues. Even if he manages to suit up this week, Jefferson won't be a worthwhile fantasy option while operating behind Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the Titans' struggling offense.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has hit a snag with his fantasy production in recent weeks, but looks to turn a corner with the Packers set to square off against division rival Chicago in Week 16. Doubs was left off the stat sheet in the last meeting with the Bears in Week 14, earning two catchless targets. Last week, he got back on the board against Denver with two receptions for 36 yards. That said, it's tough to trust Doubs, even with some of the injury-related issues for the Packers at the wide receiver position. Christian Watson (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are both questionable, so if Watson is out, that could provide Doubs an opportunity to get back into fantasy relevance. For Week 16 against Chicago, Doubs is a desperation flex option with a very low fantasy points floor.
