The Green Bay Packers will host the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Romeo Doubs.

Should You Start or Sit Romeo Doubs in Week 1?
The idea of Romeo Doubs is exciting, but the real-life version has been anything but, and is trending in the wrong direction, with Matthew Golden brought in as the hypothetical solution to Green Bay’s search for a traditional WR1.
Doubs is an athletic 6’2” 25-year-old who has had his chances to succeed. Sure, he’s scored on 15 of his 147 career receptions, a completely viable rate if he had proven the ability to earn looks consistently, but that hasn’t been the case.
Doubs’ next 100-yard game will be his first as a pro, and he’s been held to single-digit fantasy points in 58.1% of his career games. Be my guest if you want to roster Doubs as we try to pin the tail on the top Packer WR1 for the fourth straight season.
You cannot feel good about playing right now, and it will take a few games of consistent volume to convince me otherwise.
