5 best fantasy football pickups to make for Week 5
By Jakob Ashlin
2. WR Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers
Rostered: 45.3%
In Week 3, Doubs had a breakout performance with eight receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Sunday, Doubs kept the momentum going. He recorded five receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown. Doubs also nearly had a 40-yard touchdown reception, but it was ruled incomplete.
The Green Bay Packers were THIS CLOSE to getting a huge TD 😬

Doubs has emerged as one of Aaron Rodgers’s favorite targets. On Sunday, he was targeted eight times; that was tied with Allen Lazard for the most on the team.
This season, Doubs is leading the Packers in targets (24), receptions (19), receiving yards (184), yards after catch (125), and passer rating when targeted (126.4). Moving forward, he has a lot of upside as one of the go-to receivers in Green Bay’s offense. In addition, the Packers are now entering a favorable stretch in their schedule; their next three opponents are the New York Giants, New York Jets, and Washington Commanders.
He should be rostered in most leagues.
