Doubs was targeted 67 times and caught 42 passes for 425 yards and three touchdowns over 13 appearances during the 2022 season.
Doubs may not have stood out in his rookie season, but he still finished fourth on his team in targets, receptions, yards and receiving touchdowns -- not bad for a fourth-rounder who missed four games and most of another due to injury. It's not yet known what Green Bay's receiver room will look like in 2023, but Doubs will have a chance to carve out a bigger role, and at the least he will be a useful complement to fellow sophomore Christian Watson.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Output remains modest
Rotowire
Doubs was targeted four times and caught three passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-17 victory over the Vikings.
Doubs finished third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but in a game in which Green Bay had all its receivers available and ran it more than it threw, his output was modest for the third time in three appearances since returning from a four-game absence. He has carved out a role in the Packers offense, but it will primarily be a complementary one provided the rest of the pass catchers on the roster remain active.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Doubs is in this spot just in case Christian Watson (hip) can't play in Week 17 against Minnesota. If Watson is out then I like Doubs as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues since the Vikings allow the most Fantasy points to opposing receivers. If Watson plays then Doubs is a low-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver, but he still has sleeper appeal given the matchup. In his past two games after a four-game absence with an ankle injury, Doubs has eight catches for 91 yards on 11 targets, but he would get a huge boost in value if Watson can't play against Minnesota.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Three grabs in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Doubs caught three of six targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Dolphins.
The rookie saw similar volume to what he did last week in his return from an ankle injury, finishing behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard in catches and targets. Watson left at halftime with a hip injury, however, and if he's sidelined in Week 17, Doubs could see his role grow against a Vikings secondary that's been vulnerable almost all year.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Week 16 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Doubs returned in Week 15 against the Rams from a five-game absence with an ankle injury and had five catches for 55 yards on five targets. He's in a crowded receiving corps with Christian Watson and Allen Lazard, but Doubs can be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues in Week 16 at Miami. Doubs has seven games this season with at least five targets, and he scored at least 10 PPR points in four of them, including three games with at least 13 PPR points.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Catches all targets in return
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) caught all five of his targets for 55 yards in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams.
Doubs returned from an ankle injury that cost him four weeks of action, promptly reclaiming a prominent role on offense while leading his team in receiving yards. Head coach Matt LaFleur hinted that the fourth-round pick would be eased back into action Monday with the Packers returning to full strength at the receiver position, but that plan was clearly thrown out the window once the game commenced. Christian Watson -- who emerged as Green Bay's No. 1 wideout in Doubs absence -- still led the team in targets and is the preferred fantasy option moving forward. That said, Doubs could be a sneaky play against the Dolphins on Sunday following his successful return to action.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Role could be limited?
Rotowire
Coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Doubs has looked good in practice but won't have "too much on his plate" Monday against the Rams, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Doubs played 82 percent or more of snaps in six straight games Weeks 3-8, averaging 4.0 catches for 38.7 yards and 0.5 TDs on 6.8 targets. He'll return to a lesser role after missing more than month with a high-ankle sprain, as his absence coincided with Christian Watson's emergence and Randall Cobb's return from injured reserve. With Allen Lazard also healthy, Doubs might just be the No. 4 receiver Monday night, or perhaps the No. 3 if Green Bay is OK with not having a slot specialist and pushing Cobb out of his normal role.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Officially logs full practice
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.
With an uncapped session finally under his belt, Doubs is set to return to the lineup for the first time since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain Week 9 at Detroit. The Packers' receiving corps thus will be at full capacity for the first time this season, which leaves Doubs' role uncertain for Monday's game versus the Rams, as he'll likely be behind Allen Lazard and fellow rookie wideout Christian Watson. More than likely, Doubs will vie with Randall Cobb and Sammy Watkins for reps on the inside and outside, respectively.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Expects to play Monday night
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) said Tuesday that he expects to play in Monday's matchup against the Rams, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs hasn't played since suffering a right high-ankle sprain on the Packers' first offensive play against the Lions in Week 9. The rookie wideout returned to practice during Week 13 prep but remained sidelined for the divisional matchup against the Bears. Doubs is feeling confident he'll return to game action following Green Bay's Week 14 bye, but his participation at practice this week will provide a clearer picture on his status for Monday's matchup against Los Angeles.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Not playing in Chicago
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) is inactive Week 13 against the Bears.
Doubs returned to practice this Wednesday and proceeded to log limited sessions all week, but it won't be enough to get him back on the field for the must-win divisional matchup. With the late bye week ahead, Doubs will sit out his fourth consecutive contest, leaving Christian Watson, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb to lead the Green Bay receiving corps.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Remains limited at practice
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Doubs took part in on-field work Wednesday for the first time since suffering a high right-ankle sprain back in Week 9. He officially was a limited participant, and coach Matt LaFleur told Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com on Thursday that Doubs "looked good. We had an individual period where we were running pretty good. We'll see how he looks today." Doubs now has strung together back-to-back capped sessions, giving him just one more chance to prove his health before the Packers potentially make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game at Chicago.
Doubs (ankle) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Doubs has missed the last three games due to a right high-ankle sprain, but he signaled that he was closing in on the later stages of his recovery by joining the rehab group on the side last Thursday. The rookie fourth-round pick has now participated in an official practice, potentially setting up a return to action Sunday in Chicago. The Packers have a Week 14 bye on tap, so they could opt to play it safe with Doubs. Having said that, if he's able to do enough to suit up this weekend, he'll he joining a receiving corps that has seen fellow first-year player Christian Watson emerge as the team's No. 1 receiver across from Allen Lazard during Doubs' absence. Whenever Doubs returns, he may not be better than third or fourth in the pecking order in Green Bay's passing game.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Back at practice
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Doubs was a near-every-down player before suffering his ankle injury Week 9, but he was trending down even before getting hurt and likely will be returning to a smaller role now that fellow rookie Christian Watson is thriving across from veteran wideout Allen Lazard. The Packers also have Randall Cobb in the slot, potentially making Doubs the No. 4 receiver when he returns. Depending on how he progresses in practice this week, Doubs could be back in action as soon as this Sunday in Chicago.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Sidelined for Week 12
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Since sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in a Nov. 6 loss to the Lions, Doubs has yet to log any recorded practice activity and will now miss his third consecutive game. According to Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Doubs appeared to demonstrate some progress Thursday, when he was spotted working out with the group of other Packers players who were managing injuries. While Doubs' presence at Thursday's session was a positive sign, he'll still likely need to string together multiple full or limited practice sessions next week to have a legitimate shot at playing in the Packers' Dec. 4 matchup with the Bears.
Doubs (ankle) worked with the rehab group during Thursday's practice, Kassidy Hill of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. However, Doubs went down as a non-participant on the injury report.
The on-field work marked Doubs' first since picking up a high-ankle sprain back in Week 9, which has sidelined him the last two games. Coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday that the Packers weren't ready to rule Doubs out for a third consecutive contest until they viewed how he progressed this week. Considering Doubs has yet to be listed as limited, he seems to be trending another absence Sunday at Philadelphia, something that may be confirmed as soon as Friday. Question marks remain in the Green Bay receiving corps, as both Allen Lazard (shoulder) and Randall Cobb (illness) had a cap on their reps both Wednesday and Thursday, leaving fellow rookie Christian Watson, Sammy Watkins and Samori Toure as the healthy options at the position.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Unlikely to play this week
Rotowire
Head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that he isn't counting on Doubs (ankle) to return for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, though the Packers want to see how the wideout progresses throughout the week, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
In other words, LaFleur doesn't expect Doubs to play but isn't quite ready to rule him out for a third straight game. LaFleur made similar comments last week, saying it was "premature" to discuss a return for the upcoming matchup with Philadelphia, and there may be somewhat less of a rush to bring Doubs back now that Christian Watson and Randall Cobb are healthy. For all the Packers' other issues, the receiver room is in much better shape than it was a few weeks ago when Doubs suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Nov. 6 loss to Detroit.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Small chance to return in Week 12
Rotowire
Coach Matt LaFleur relayed Friday that Doubs (ankle) has a chance to return for a Week 12 game at Philadelphia on Sunday, Nov. 27, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. "He's getting closer, but I think it's premature to put that out there right now," LaFleur said.
On the heels of missing a second game in a row Thursday against the Titans, Doubs is in the middle of his rehab from a high right-ankle sprain that he suffered back in Week 9. Typically, such injuries require at least four weeks of recovery, so LaFleur's comments seem to indicate it's unlikely Doubs will be back next weekend. In the end, whenever Doubs gets back on the practice field, the waiting game will ensue to see if he has a chance to return to action.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Using crutches, boot after Week 9
Rotowire
Doubs (ankle) was using crutches and had a walking boot on his right foot after Sunday's loss at Detroit, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Doubs lasted just one play (an 18-yard catch) before making his way to the sideline visibly hobbled. Packers trainers examined his right ankle in the sideline tent before he was carted to the locker room, and he eventually was ruled out after halftime. Fellow rookie wide receiver Christian Watson also left the game to be evaluated for a concussion for the second week in a row, so Green Bay's already banged-up group of pass catchers is even more so after Week 9. The statuses of both Doubs and Watson may receive some clarity in the coming days, but with Randall Cobb (ankle) on IR for at least one more contest, Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins, Amari Rodgers and Samori Toure currently are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Doubs did well in Week 8 at Buffalo with Allen Lazard (shoulder) out, and we'll see if Aaron Rodgers continues to trust Doubs until Lazard returns, which is unknown heading into Week 9 against Detroit. Against the Bills, Doubs had seven targets for four catches, 62 yards and a touchdown. If Lazard is out again in Week 9 then consider Doubs a low-end starter in all leagues, and he's worth adding for 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Packers' Romeo Doubs: Bounces back with TD
Rotowire
Doubs had four receptions (seven targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
Doubs was able to rebound nicely from a zero-catch dud against the Commanders last week with his third touchdown of the season. The rookie was asked to do a bit more for an already undermanned Green Bay receiver room after fellow rookie Christian Watson (concussion) left the game in the first quarter. The fact that the 22-year-old continued to operate as Aaron Rodgers' top outside target is another positive sign for his prospects moving forward. Doubs could be in line for another strong fantasy day in a soft matchup against the Lions next Sunday.
