    Is Romeo Doubs Playing in Week 9?

    Doubs is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Packers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Romeo Doubs in Week 9?

    I don’t want to over-simplify things, but I generally look to play Doubs when I think he has a better-than-average chance of scoring, and that’s it. For his career, 10.2% of his receptions have finished in the end zone, a nice skill set to have in this top-10 offense. However, I’m not ready to trust it regularly until he shows a greater ability to earn targets consistently.

    I love what I saw last week from him, and that’s a start. Jordan Love trusted him enough to fire a 25-yard pass his way in the two-minute drill, trusting him in a single-coverage spot. Doubs also set up a Josh Jacobs touchdown by forcing a 21-yard pass interference penalty, another good sign when it comes to his connection with his QB.

    My concern here is two-fold: 1) the risk that comes with Love being banged up the week before the bye and 2) Detroit being the top defense in terms of end-zone completion percentage (three completions on 19 attempts).

    Starting a Packer receiver any week in which Love is calling the shots isn’t a bad option, though I do have players like Josh Downs and Keon Coleman ranked higher this week for those being asked to make a tight Flex decision.

    PFN Insights: Detroit Lions Defense

    What makes the 2024 Detroit Lions a scary prospect for the opposition right now is that they can beat you with offense or defense, if not both. We have seen a couple of wobbles defensively this year, but that is where the offense has stepped up, as we saw in Weeks 4 and 7 when they allowed 29 points but scored a combined 73. Overall, this year’s defense has notably outperformed its No. 17 ranking from 2023.

    Among the stats we look at, the Lions do not rank below 16th in any category and only rank outside the top 10 in a single category, sack rate (7.0%). They are not elite when it comes to many categories but have been good at the combination of forcing turnovers (second) and third-down conversion rate (first). That helps them get off the field and hand the ball to their explosive offense plenty of times a game.

    Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers Insights

    Detroit Lions

    Team: The Lions have scored 30-plus points in four straight games – it’s the first SEASON in which they’ve scored 30 points in four games during the 2000s.

    QB: Detroit has won five straight games, and in those games, Jared Goff has a 146.6 in-pocket passer rating (78-94 for 1,023 yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception).

    Offense: Jahmyr Gibbs has a 45-plus yard rush TD in consecutive games, the fifth running back to do that since 2016 (others: Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Leonard Fournette, and Kareem Hunt).

    Defense: In four of their past six games, the Lions have held their opponent to an under-30 % conversion rate on third downs (last week vs. Titans: 3-0]of-11, 27.3%).

    Fantasy: David Montgomery has scored in six of seven games this season, but he hasn’t cleared a dozen carries in a game since Week 3 at Arizona.

    Betting: Since 2020, the Lions have been 28-13 ATS (68.3%) in games played after Halloween, which is three full games better than any other team.

    Green Bay Packers

    Team: The Packers ended last regular season winning six of eight games, and they’ve opened this season with a 6-2 mark (of those four losses, three came by fewer than six points).

    QB: Jordan Love has thrown an interception in every game this season, and eight of nine have come when operating in the pocket.

    Offense: The Packers entered the red zone on a season-high 46.2% of their drives against the Jaguars.

    Defense: Green Bay forced Jacksonville to go three-and-out on 58.3% of their drives last week, the defense’s best showing this season.

    Fantasy: The status of the QB position means the world in terms of fantasy efficiency for Josh Jacobs. In his last two games with Love starting, he’s come in 38.4% over expectation – in Malik Willis’ two starts, 39% under expectation.

    Betting: Since 2020, the NFC North has the three top teams in over percentage in games played after Halloween (Packers: 62.8%, Lions: 61%).
