2. WR Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Rostered: 16.1%

We’ve been waiting for a Packers’ wide receiver to have a breakout game, and it finally happened. With Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson sidelined, Doubs recorded eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown.

The fourth-round pick should continue to play a key role in Green Bay’s passing attack, as Watkins was placed on the injured reserve. As a result, Watkins is set to miss the next three games.

In addition, Doubs has outplayed fellow rookie Christian Watson. Watson had some miscues during Week 1. He dropped a wide-open 75-yard touchdown pass. In addition, he had an error on a route that nearly led to an interception in the red zone.

Meanwhile, Doubs is quietly leading the Packers in targets (16), receptions (14), and receiving yards (137). He is also leading the Packers in yards after catch (84).

Doubs and Allen Lazard should be the Packers’ top two wide receivers moving forward. He has upside for the remainder of the season.

He is an intriguing flex option this week against the New England Patriots.
