Romeo Doubs left fantasy football managers with more questions than answers after a sudden exit late in Week 10. His departure came just as the Packers seemed ready to make a late push against the Eagles. Now, everyone’s watching practice reports closely to see what this could mean for Green Bay’s offense.
Stay tuned, this situation has ripple effects across more than a few fantasy football lineups.
Romeo Doubs Injury Update
Doubs was the latest Green Bay Packers wide receiver to suffer an injury in Week 10, leaving in the fourth quarter of the team’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a chest injury.
There haven’t been any updates on the severity of Doubs’ injury, so his practice plans will need to be followed closely ahead of Week 11’s matchup against the New York Giants.
If Doubs is ruled out, then Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks would be the lead receivers for the Packers. Matthew Golden (if healthy) could also see an expanded role in the passing attack.

Doubs Fantasy Outlook
Doubs missed time on Monday night with a chest injury that was obviously pulling at him after a missed target, but this wasn’t exactly lining up to be a banner game prior.
- 23 routes
- 4 targets
- 5 yards
You see, the problem is that the Eagles had the same impression as us: this is the head of the snake. Not that the Green Bay offense can’t function without Doubs, but that, especially with Tucker Kraft sidelined, he’s their clear-cut top target.
In some respects, that’s good news. It means we were right with our analysis. In most respects, it’s bad news as Jordan Love doesn’t profile as the type of quarterback who is going to force-feed anyone.

Doubs will remain my WR1 when it comes to ranking the Packers, but he’s more of a flex, presuming health, for fantasy managers. Christian Watson is the most intriguing receiver in this room, given the upside he has proven when healthy, but his range of outcomes is always going to be wide.
I’m looking at Doubs in a very similar way to how I view Jauan Jennings: the top wide receiver on his NFL team by default, but not a must-start in our game.
