Who Should I Start? Van Jefferson or Romeo Doubs

Saturday, November 22, 12:33 PM

Through 10 games this season, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has recorded 17 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets. While those numbers don't jump off the page, Jefferson has seen an expanded role in his team's offense in recent weeks, earning 19 targets over his last three games played. The 29-year-old also played a season-high 92% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. With Titans wideouts Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) both out, Jefferson could continue to see targets and playing time in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. However, Seattle is a tough matchup for opposing passing games. Through 11 weeks, Seattle is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.2) in the NFL. Expected playing time alone may not be enough to carry Jefferson's fantasy production against the Seahawks. He profiles as a desperation flex option for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has had a lackluster last few weeks of fantasy production, but looks to get back on track when the Lions face the Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving. After averaging eight targets per game in Week 6 through Week 9, Doubs is averaging just five targets per game in his last three games, with the Packers opting to get back to running the ball much more. In the last three contests, Doubs has had a combined seven receptions, 81 yards, and zero touchdowns in that span. He's taken a backseat in the pecking order to Christian Watson, who has asserted himself as a player who can earn targets. Even with Watson's emergence in recent weeks, this is still a good spot for Doubs. He's a solid flex play for fantasy managers this week, but just know that the points floor is a bit low.
