The Green Bay Packers will visit the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. 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 Romeo Doubs Playing in Week 3?
Doubs is not on the injury report and 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 Romeo Doubs in Week 3?
Romeo Doubs leads the Green Bay receivers in route share (he’s run a route on 75.4% of Jordan Love dropbacks through two weeks) and while he’s not yet at 100 yards for the season, he’s made impactful plays in both of their victories.
In Week 1 against the Lions, he had a pair of 20+ yard grabs (including a 48-yarder), and on Thursday night, he scored his first touchdown of the season, a play where the Packers cleared out his side and bet on him to win on a slant route inside the five-yard line.
We saw glimpses of his potential in 2022 (eight touchdowns), showing that his Nevada numbers (TD on 11.6% of his collegiate receptions) weren’t just the product of lower-level competition, and it’s very clear that the Packers trust him.
But should you?
First Half Stat Lines, Week 2
- Tucker Kraft: 3 catches for 89 yards
- Malik Heath: 1 catch for 37 yards
- Dontayvion Wicks: 3 catches for 33 yards
- Doubs: 3 catches for 28 yards, TD
- Chris Brooks: 3 catches for 27 yards
The Jayden Reed injury (out 6-8 weeks with a broken collarbone) opens up usage that Doubs has as good a shot as anyone to pick up. That said, we are still in the part of the schedule where all 32 teams are in action, and while the Browns franchise might be in disarray, their defense can still hang.
Doubs ranks outside of my flex range for this week, but if he can earn targets at a reasonable rate, I could see that changing when the Packers travel to Dallas next Sunday night.
