The Green Bay Packers will visit the Chicago Bears in Week 16. 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.
Is Doubs Playing in Week 16?
Doubs is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Doubs in Week 16?
Romeo Doubs has disappeared during the Christian Watson breakout, so when the vertical threat left Sunday with a chest injury, I allowed myself to get momentarily excited for my Doubs shares.
It doesn’t sound like the Watson injury is going to linger (though you never know with him) and that means Doubs is back to being a WR4 that you hold on your bench and only play if you’re desperate.
I do expect the Packers to challenge 30 points on Saturday, making him a decent dart through if you’re in a bind, but not a WR that I’m looking to play with confidence.
The 26-yard grab in the first quarter was a reminder of what is possible if Doubs is featured. He got behind his defender and Jordan Love had enough confidence in him to fire an out-platform throw his way.
He’s an above average receiver in a below average situation and in this case, the situation wins out more often than not.
