Romeo Doubs Fantasy Overview

2025 Role & Results

Doubs' Fantasy Impact Remains Limited

Doubs caught 55 balls for 724 yards and 6 TDs in 16 games. Half of his TDs came in a Week 4 overtime tie at Dallas, a game Christian Watson missed.

Doubs finished tied for 42nd in PPR points per game and 39th in half-PPR. He managed one top-12 PPR week and only two other top-24 finishes. He also had two more weeks at WR25 and eight finishes outside the top 36.

The No. 2 Target For Green Bay

Doubs led the Packers in route rate (72.8%) but slotted second behind Watson in target share (17.6%).

Doubs earned plenty of his catches in contested situations, tying for 14th among WRs in contested-catch opportunities despite finishing just 38th in targets. His 43.3% contested catch rate followed seasons of 66.7% and 53.6%.

His alignment mirrored previous seasons, with 82% of his snaps coming out wide. His average depth of target also fell between 12.1 and 12.9 for the third straight season.

A Career-High in One Efficiency Metric

Doubs’ yards per route run hit a career-high 1.73, up from 1.32 in 2023 and 1.67 in 2024.

His 13.1 yards per catch and 65.5% catch rate lined up with his career averages. Doubs benefited from a solid connection with QB Jordan Love, who helped supply an 81% catchable target rate, 19th among 76 WRs with 50+ targets.

Packers Supplied a Low-Volume Passing Game

Doubs played 15 of 16 games with Jordan Love, but the Packers ranked 28th in pass rate at 52.3%, their third straight bottom-8 finish in that category.

Doubs also played from Week 2 to Week 7 without both Watson and Jayden Reed. In those games, Doubs recorded PPR finishes of:

• WR35
• WR73
• WR3 (the Dallas game)
• WR31
• WR25

Head Injuries Bear Watching

Doubs missed little regular-season time in 2025. He exited late in Week 10 with a chest injury, returned the next week, and rested in Week 18 with Green Bay’s playoff spot secured.

The bigger concern is a history of head injuries. He sustained a concussion on November 24, 2024 and another on January 12, 2025.

2026 Opportunity & Projection

Pats Pay Up For a New No. 2

With his rookie deal up, Doubs landed in New England on a four-year, $68 million deal ($39 million guaranteed) that ranks 28th among WRs in average annual value.

Doubs looked like New England’s top WR until the team acquired A.J. Brown for a first-round pick. Brown arrives with proven No. 1 WR production, including 1,000+ yards and 7+ scores in six of seven NFL seasons.

Our projections have Brown as the clear team leader in targets at 27%, ahead of Doubs (18.3%) and Hunter Henry (15%).

A QB Upgrade

Doubs lands in a rising Patriots offense after Drake Maye’s 2025 breakout. Maye ranked top-4 in:

• yards per game (258.4)
• TDs per game (1.82)
• completion rate (72.0%)
• yards per attempt (8.9)
• success rate (54.7%)

Those numbers came in well ahead of Jordan Love’s:

• 225.4 yards per game
• 1.53 TDs per game
• 66.3% completion rate
• 7.7 yards per attempt
• 50.2% success rate

Maye also beats Doubs’ old QB as an out-of-structure playmaker. Love completed just 33.3% of his throws outside the pocket last season at 4.5 yards per attempt, per SumerSports. Maye checked in at 51.6% and 8.0 YPA.

Overall, he’s an upgrade in both efficiency and playmaking.

Pats Should Throw a Bit More

OC Josh McDaniels returns after leading an offense that finished 26th in pass rate but fifth in pass rate over expected and 18th in neutral pass rate. A similar pattern showed in the red zone, with New England finishing 16th in RZ pass rate and sixth in RZ pass rate over expected.

Brown and Doubs give New England reason to throw more in Maye’s third season, but we still don’t expect a pass-heavy unit. Our projections have the Patriots at a 54.8% pass rate, up from 53.1% last year.

Doubs Delivers in the Red Zone

Brown limits Doubs’ target-volume upside, making TDs more important to his fantasy case.

Doubs could become one of Maye’s preferred scoring-area targets after accumulating 15 red zone scores over the past three seasons. That comes in ahead of Henry’s 12 RZ scores and Brown’s 10 over the same stretch.

Maye also showed the passing-TD potential last year with 31 scores. While the 6.3% TD rate was high, Maye’s talent and situation could prompt another strong finish.

Realistically, Doubs could push for weekly WR3 value.

The risk, of course, is that he doesn’t carry over his red-zone prowess and struggles to be more than fantasy bench fodder.
