2. WR Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Rostered: 47.3 percent

After a couple of underwhelming performances, Doubs bounced back on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills. He had four receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on seven targets.

This season, Doubs is leading the Packers in targets (49). The rookie should continue to play a major in Green Bay’s passing attack.

In the short term, Doubs could see a slight boost in fantasy value, as well. Allen Lazard, Christian Watson, and Randall Cobb are all dealing with injuries, which leaves Doubs as the top healthy wide receiver on the depth chart.

Furthermore, he is heading into a favorable matchup this week against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are giving up the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Their defense is also allowing a whopping 32.1 points per game, which is the most in the NFL.
