BALLER MOVE: Flex candidate in 12+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/4
ANALYSIS: If you want a wide receiver that can pop, it's nice to see the Buccaneers on the schedule. Trailing only Philadelphia and Washington in the yards allowed to wide receivers department, three of the last four top wideouts they've faced have topped 100 yards. That includes career-best marks for Drake London, career-high in yardage for Brandon Aiyuk, and 100 yards for Michael Pittman Jr. Even Carolina's Jonathan Mingo tallied career-best marks, although those totals were only six catches for 69 yards.
Now, it's Green Bay's turn. Romeo Doubs is the de-facto WR1 for the Packers, although he's been out-touched by rookie Jayden Reed in each of the last four weeks. Both have excellent opportunities to rack up above-average yardage on Sunday.
Doubs is either in the middle of touchdown regression right now or he's due for a score. The second-year wideout has secured seven touchdowns in 13 games, but none in the last three weeks. Other than that, he's averaging 3.76 receptions per game. It's not a great number, but he's fairly consistent, outside of Weeks 4 (9 catches) and 5 (1 catch).
Doubs is worthy of a flex consideration based on the matchup and Jordan Love's recent surge as a reliable quarterback. He's still a low-end WR3 but the upside is there. Doubs would make an interesting DFS play, as well.
