Romeo Doubs An Intriguing Flex Option In Week 17
Romeo Doubs will take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. The rookie has amassed a modest 11 targets over the past two weeks since returning from an ankle injury that he suffered back in Week 9, slotting in as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard. However, Doubs may not have to compete with Watson this week. The fellow rookie is listed as questionable with a hip injury and could realistically miss the game Sunday. Doubs has been a viable FLEX option when either Watson or Lazard have missed time this season, and the matchup against Minnesota is one fantasy managers can exploit. The Vikings allow the third-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. If Watson is ruled out, Doubs can be locked in a viable FLEX option with a top-24 ceiling. However, if Watson does suit up, Doubs becomes a less appealing FLEX and is mainly viable only in deep 14-16 team leagues.

Romeo Doubs Suffers Concussion In Wild-Card Loss
Romeo Doubs (concussion) officially suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the team's 22-10 loss to the hosting Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round on Sunday and never returned. Doubs fell hard on his head in the end zone after a potential touchdown pass was broken up by two defenders. It was Doubs' second concussion of the season, but the good news is he'll have all offseason to recover. In addition to Doubs, the Packers lost Christian Watson (knee) to a torn ACL in Week 18 and Jayden Reed to a dislocated shoulder on Sunday. The 24-year-old finished Sunday's game with only two catches for 13 yards on two targets. The third-year wideout finished the regular season fourth on the team with 601 receiving yards and four TDs on 72 receptions in 13 games played. Doubs will remain a big part of the offense in 2025, albeit in a crowded Green Bay receiver room.

Romeo Doubs Tallies Two Receptions, Leaves Game In Second Half
Romeo Doubs (concussion) left the game and did not return during the third quarter of the Packers' 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Doubs hit his head on the ground when trying to make a catch in the end zone on a deep shot from quarterback Jordan Love. Doubs was ruled questionable to return, but he never re-entered Sunday's contest. Prior to his departure, Doubs caught both of his targets for 13 yards on the afternoon. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, Doubs tallied 46 receptions, 601 receiving yards, and four touchdowns this season. He should remain an integral part of the Packers' passing game in 2025.

Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs Questionable To Return
Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) are both questionable to return to Sunday's wild-card game. Both sustained injuries during the second half. Doubs suffered a concussion earlier this season and had to miss two games. With Christian Watson (knee) already out for the season after tearing his ACL in the Week 18 regular-season finale, this leaves receivers Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton and tight end Tucker Kraft as quarterback Jordan Love's lone pass-catchers for the rest of this game. Reed was leading the team in receiving yards (46) before leaving, while Doubs had tallied 23 yards.

Romeo Doubs A WR2 Sleeper On Wild-Card Weekend
Romeo Doubs (illness) practiced in full all week and was removed from Friday's final injury report. After sitting out for rest purposes in the Week 18 loss to the division-rival Chicago Bears in the regular-season finale, Doubs will be ready to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road on wild-card weekend. And with Christian Watson (knee) now done for the year with a torn ACL, the 24-year-old Doubs will have a higher fantasy ceiling, albeit against an Eagles secondary that won't be an easy matchup. And while Doubs should have slightly more opportunities, he will still be battling for targets with Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks. During the regular season, Doubs was outside the top-50 wideouts in half-PPR points per game with a 46-601-4 line in 13 games. Consider him a boom/bust WR2 sleeper in DFS and playoff formats this weekend.
