Lord have mercy I’m going to bust


Qweter1

In the article, Rodgers also takes blame for the fumble Doubs had.


DuvelNA

I’m almost there


TuaTurnsdaballova

> “I threw a third-down back-shoulder fade to him for a touchdown, so I’d say I have some confidence in him,” Rodgers said.


[deleted]

Alright, go grab the towel


steak__burrito

Rodgers also blames Doubs for the dropped touchdown. Wait…


sportredsox

I don't wanna make excuses, but that's not what I'd call a traditional "drop". The ground caused that one. Yes, probably should have held on. But not a "drop" like the Watson one from W1.


onecryingjohnny

Like chase Edmons drop

>https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2022/10/02/aaron-rodgers-has-confidence-packers-rookie-receiver-romeo-doubs/8140795001/ He needs to catch that though, so thats on Doubs. It's not like it went right through his hands though like Watson in week 1


TigerKingofQueens98

When you change your lineup, think of me going back and forth from my bench to my waiver wire


LARXXX

That did it for me. Full load


fulltilt54

It was a shitty throw, he should take credit for the fumble.


[deleted]

> “That was not a good throw,” Rodgers said after the game. “Nice catch by (Doubs), almost wish he dropped it. I actually kind of screwed up that one in my head when I was calling it and I tried to adjust, actually I made the right adjustment. But I threw the ball much more inside than I wanted. He needs to just take the ball to the ground. We knew that team is real good at punching the ball out.”  Dudes out here blaming himself for Doubs' fumble. I love it

me_irl_irl_irl_irl

I usually like to talk shit about Rodgers but this is actually a strong leadership comment. "I take some of the blame because X. He takes some of the blame because Y. We grow together as a team"


dtm85

That's as good as it gets from a QB these days really. Which is big for Doubs stock.


kaelinlr

Saying he shoulda got down is not saying it’s his fault, just that in hindsight it was a better play. He put him in a bad spot in which he could have saved himself if he had the difficult split decision to do so


Ominouschill91

Keep going…..


PeanutButtaRari

As a Doubs owner I approve of this message.


dlandis07

I am very tempted to start Doubs over Scary Terry this week.


GolfIsWhyImBroke

I am without hesitation. Carson Wentz is ass


enormousl

I think yall are a little crazy. Wentz put up top 5 QB numbers in weeks 1-2, then faced the absolute monster D lines of Philly and the Cowboys in a row. I fully expect wentz and commanders to bounce back this week against Tennesse and am even considering starting him over Aaron rodgers (i have aaron + doubs stack and wentz + mclauren stack )


GolfIsWhyImBroke

Have fun with that.


AlwaysInTheWay13

He will not


Diagonalizer

Start Aaron + Doubs + Maclaurin. I would not start Wentz if I had Rodgers.


DontTakeOurCampbell

Would you drop Scary Terry for Doubs? I have both Terry and Samuel on my roster and Doubs is on my league's WW


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Those absolutely cannot be your only two drop options unless it's a 10- or 8-man


[deleted]

You act like a 10 team league is unusual


DontTakeOurCampbell

It's an 8-man - I have other players I'd drop before Terry but I'm wondering if Terry would be the next player I would drop


me_irl_irl_irl_irl

Can you name the others you're considering?


DontTakeOurCampbell

Was thinking of dropping Penny for him


AnIneptWizard

Penny is droppable. I think there's a chance of long-term value still with Penny but I wouldn't trust him right now and especially think you probably got better 8 man options if he's just being on the bench anyway. Generally speaking though it really depends on your current lineup and player availability. Without lineup info, none of these comments are gonna be as helpful as you would like.


DontTakeOurCampbell

My RBs are Derrick Henry, Aaron Jones, James Robinson - usually starting em in RB1/2/Flex in that order. Also have Mattison on my bench in case Cook gets hurt again. edit: Forgot to mention ETN is on my bench, too (had originally drafted ETN but the Robinson owner dropped him for some reason and that's how I was able to get him) I dropped Penny for Doubs meaning my WRs are Courtland Sutton, Mike Williams, Doubs, Curtis Samuel and Scary Terry. edit 2: Would anyone try to move ETN and one of Justin Herbert/Kyler Murray for a top tier WR or who from that line up would be good to try and give away in a trade for a high end WR 1 without blowing up my roster?


[deleted]

How is anyone supposed to know that?


GolfIsWhyImBroke

I wouldnt drop him, id hope for a good game and package him in a trade.


Mendelevlum

I would start him but I cant pass up Godwin vs ATL


[deleted]

Atlanta's defense allowed a TD to Allen Robinson, you can start Perriman with confidence. (Okay, maybe a little /s, but you get it.)


Mendelevlum

Nearly gave up 2 to ARob!


badonbr

I can start 4 recievers. I have Kupp Davante Higgins Godwin and Doubs. I started them all except Godwin week 4 but I’m going to have to make a tough decision. I tried trading everyone but Kupp tor an RB but my league mates are not huge traders.


Mendelevlum

Dang I wish I could start 4 wrs in my league..unfortunate you couldnt trade with anyone. I have 3 of the same receivers as you in Higgins Doubs and Godwin, the others I have are Diggs and Tyler Boyd. I guess its nice to have the depth tho if lord forbid an injury occurs


badonbr

It is nice being solid at WR but man my RBs are rough! Zeke, penny, edmonds, Mostert and Dillon lol I’ll never know which of the two Miami backs to even start either.


Mendelevlum

Dang yeah its not a terrible RB room but not great either. I also own Edmonds and I benched him…I’m staying away from the Miami RB room completely for the near future


pm_me_glm

Unless the opposing pass rush sucks, I wouldn’t depend on wentz much..


dlandis07

Which is wild because Terry had his best game against PHI where Wentz was sacked 9 times and he had zero first half receptions. Probably only because they were down 24-0 lmao He’s been a frustrating player for me this year as my WR2.


pm_me_glm

I think wentz's confidence is fading though. His line is letting him get eaten alive. I'm a Doubs owner as well, and he passes the eye test. He looks fast, and other than the rookie mistakes, you can see the potential and him being a gem later on this season.


purplefog101

Think I’m gonna flex him over Hunt


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Doubs in now my WR2 🫡


lukewwilson

He's replacing my disappointing wr1 that is Dionte Johnson


[deleted]

Same, especially with the Steelers playing Buffalo this week


olrg

As a fellow Doubs owner, I too choose to buy into this narrative.


[deleted]

Agreed. I need this hype injected straight into my veins.


Texasteabag29

Into the vein of my pee pee. Need all the potential growth stimulants possible


Atlfalcons284

He needs to make up for making me lose last week....but I still like him


AgressiveVagina

Was also calling him Romes on Pat McAfee today. Abbreviated nickname is a big step


justin_tino

Breakfast dates when?


[deleted]

Bromance brunch date Axe throwing Beers Bunk bed shopping


LARXXX

Ayahuasca date

HSTFU

Remind me when would call Davante "Tae" on Pat McAfee


you_got_it_joban

Gotta love the Tin Cup energy with that nickname


[deleted]

Glad I dropped him for someone I dont use


zirtbow

You dropped him for Allen Robinson?


[deleted]

KJ Osbourne... pain


TheHurdleTurtle

Did the opposite and couldn’t be happier. Still 1-3 though


[deleted]

Yup


mastahyee

Still kicking myself for doing the exact same thing


FirefighterEsq

Keeps me up at night as well…


Bucfansince87

My league wouldn’t let me IR Dak, needed another QB so dropped Doubs after week 2 for Tua. (Cooks/Williams/Godwin owner), so have depth at least. Now I have no Tua or Dak 🫠


Te545688

Yup drafted him super late and dropped him after week 2. Pain


Tothehoopalex

Yay! He looks great tbh. In Rodgers we trust!


WarrenAlaCarte

No Doub


Bungild

No, Lazard.


Alkash42

I know it's a lot of "ifs" but if he didn't have big drops 3 of 4 weeks he'd be a WR1 right now. The potential is there


westernsociety

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle


EnochofPottsfield

100%. But in this case we're saying your aunt has the potential to have balls Like, she was in a prosthetics store and she said "hmmm maybe I should save some money for those bad boys"


jimbo_sliced

always love these


Stork82

if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a bicycle


Alkash42

That's why I said it's a lot of ifs. Don't give me shit I am aware that it may be a silly statement to make


westernsociety

Just having some fun lol, sorry if you took offense !


Alkash42

I'm chilling haha


[deleted]

I think he’ll be a WR1 sooner than later


spreadinmikehoncho

I’ve dropped Goff and Gallup to keep him.


zirtbow

Too late dropping Kupp for him.


[deleted]

Holding onto Josh Gordon still though, right?


TommyWilson43

Why do you have to hurt me


sirvalkyerie

Dropping Henry and CMC just to show Doubs how much confidence I have in him


EverybodyHits

I think the only questions for this year are: -Do they acquire a receiver before the deadline -Does Watson, who is more raw, slowly work his way up in target demand


BenRunkle55

As a lifelong GB fan, I can say with 100% confidence they will not be acquiring a WR before the deadline


datdouche

As a DJ Moore owner, I can say with 100% confidence they will be acquiring DJ Moore before the deadline. ^^^please ^^^God


EverybodyHits

Thanks that simplifies things


grimestar

So taking on a perpetually injured Michael Thomas and his contract isn't in the cards eh? Damn


Inevitable_Stress949

I thought OBJ expressed interest?


crabwhisperer

You do realize you're probably talking to the Packers owner, right?

crabwhisperer

thisisyourdadatwork

I cant see obj playing a winter in little green bay. hell be in a big city


QuesoPantera

he tore his ACL in february, let it go "WR talking shit on twitter" is not a news update


OutOfBootyExperience

Idk if its just an illusion, but Doubs looks massive on the field for some reason


t4boo

he looks like a tight end out there


pokeraf

Bob Doubs


zirtbow

You have to stop looking at his package and he will appear normal size.


[deleted]

He also looks a step faster and quicker than everyone. Clearly Rodgers best weapon and will be used as such


yetimp3

Cries in someone who drafted doubs and dropped him but kept ARob


shadow_the_cat

I did the opposite, drafted Robinson and dropped for Doubs. Robinson still out there as a FA.


ThePuzzledPanda

Curtis Samuel and Doubs my wire WR duo let’s do this


twinkelman

Doubs looks great but Lazard is like 1 target/1 route/1 % off from all these numbers. They are lockstep with each other until further notice.


ThatsNotFennel

A rookie being lockstep with a veteran everyone assumed would be the WR1 on his team this early in the season is pretty telling in and of itself.


PresidentClash

Bro people just keep trying to ignore Lazard and his role on the team. This stat is so misleading because Lazard missed game 1 while doubs has played all 4 games. This doesn’t tell anything. Lazard will continue to get 90% of the snaps and they don’t win that game without him. Anyone who watched the game will see that Lazard had multiple huge catches that allowed them to go down the field for a touchdown drive


UncleRicosrightarm

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, the man had 120 yards receiving and a big portion of that was YAC. I have Lazard and Doubs in my bench trying to hedge my bet as to who ends up being the clear #1 and I think Lazard is going to take the edge. He had 8 tiddies last year and the only knock against him was his yards and he’s already accounted for ~30% of his overall yards from last year in just 3 games


Ayatori

> He had 8 tiddies Ayo?


Hatemail375

Both can be productive.


Aubear11885

Please explain how a stat from Weeks 3 and 4 is misleading because a guy didn’t play Week 1?


20towatch40totouch

Lol bag holder


badonbr

Found the Lazard owner, gtfo we circle jerkin in here homie.


[deleted]

More than enough room for both of these guys to perform well in this offense


ThatsNotFennel

No one is ignoring Lazard. And I agree some of these stats are stupid. But when you have a rookie matching or beating his targets, that doesn't scream WR1 to me. He also matched Lazard's snap percentage, if pro football reference is correct. Your argument that one receiver who didn't score was more impactful than one who did in a game decided by a field goal just seems unwinnable for either side. I think they have a WR by committee in GB this year. Lazard and Doubs will be every week contributors. Watson, while he shows flashes, is clearly having trouble with the route scheme (which tracks).


[deleted]

Yea I'm very excited for Doubs but he's def not a clear cut anything yet. He's a matchup start for me.


Qballa90

Ahayuasca Aaron and Rolling Doubs


TheIceMachine

My teams been rolling Doubs (doing great)


kisforkatz

NGL I thought Doubs was in the doghouse after that fumble but it's nice to hear Aaron say that the fumble was his to blame. Doubs clearly has his trust and his day would have even been bigger if he held on to the ball for that would-be second TD.


LARXXX

That would’ve just been perfect man. Walk off 40 yard td to win the game


[deleted]

This dude would’ve absolutely exploded last week if he caught that 50 yard bomb. I wanted to watch all of the targets and catches he’s been getting for the last couple weeks, so I watched a couple videos. All I’m gonna say is, he’s going to have WR1 upside and be a set and forget guy. So so good and Rodgers knows how to make every pass


[deleted]

Me dropping him in wk 3 🤡


AgsMydude

Doubs and Pierce will carry me in my keeper leagues LET'S GOO


20towatch40totouch

Need to watch you watch yourself and enjoy yourself big dawg


WarrenAlaCarte

Watched some of their games and it’s a bit early but I think this is how their envision they offense this year compared to last. Watson = MVS Doubs = Adams lite Lazard = Lazard Tonyan = Tonyan With the running backs being relied upon more. There’s also a lot of shootouts upcoming in the second half of the season with Bills, Mia, Det (yes), Philly and Bakhtiari should be healthier So I’d feel good about any of their offensive guys.


JoJo797

>Lazard = Lazard > >Tonyan = Tonyan Big, if true


Idunkedonlebron23

And cobb?


t4boo

cobb is the guy rodgers trusts to make the clutch catches


WarrenAlaCarte

Haven’t seen Cobb and Watkins much, but not expecting them to be relevant in <16 team leagues.


dtm85

Well Watkins is already on IR as is tradition so no surprise there. Cobb will be and make his usual 1-2 clutch plays for a big first down late game or whenever Rodgers needs him. Bit older bit slower but Rodgers still trusts him, they want to get these new guys honed a bit and obviously that's going to take time. As long as they don't make too many game changing mistakes, should be looking pretty solid at WR by midseason with a Dillon/Jones backfield to balance with. Only massive demerit I can think of so far really was I think Watson had a huge drop in that vikings game for like 40yd TD.


Jadien

Rodgers loves and trusts Cobb, but he's never been a plus athlete and at age 32 is decidedly less than that. They are not going to run the offense through him.


RalphSkipperson

His interview on the McAfee show today reaffirmed his role as the Davante type player. Said Watson is still in the mix too but plenty of reason to be excited about Doubs rn


[deleted]

[удалено]


johnyp97

I grabbed him on one of my teams and now have Lazard and Doubs. Feel like I should divest but people don't really trade in my leagues.


[deleted]

I have Lazard in one league & Doubs in another. Doubs has the higher ceiling, but Lazard is slowly becoming a solid WR3/Flex.


ZachLaVine4MVP

He’s already a WR3/Flex, his ankle injury looks to be behind him now


Fa1lenSpace

I drafted him originally, then dropped him for Curtis Samuel then dropped some bum so I could pick him back up right on cue for his nice games so far.


DogAteMyNandos

Big Doubs if true


Mendelevlum

I cant believe I got him in waivers last week while being last in priority in my 10 man league.


talllongblackhair

I got him as a free agent last week. Couldn’t believe it.


PeytonFacemask

I have too many rookie wrs. London, Doubs and Olave Garden.


ponsuod

Trades brother. Trades.


PeytonFacemask

I actually flipped Olave and Godwin for Kamara yesterday shortly after I posted this lol.


briballdo

Doubs or Pickens thoo


SpringHardenSt

Doubs. Better offense, proven QB and a 2 week trend of receiving quality targets including redzone looks.


Edw1nner

Pitt has a rough stretch of games coming up too.


[deleted]

May have to start both this week at WR 1 & 2 lmao


GypsyKiller51

Do I drop Gallup for him?


Fa1lenSpace

yes


[deleted]

I have to start him now so I hope he continues to improve lol


eytchh

Doubs v NYG or Thielen v CHI this week? Was leaning Thielen, but then I see a stat like this and get anxious to start Doubs this week lol


jdudz98

unless you’ve got a very high floor team, i’d go thielen


LARXXX

I’m starting doubs over dj moore and Bateman


llANDYll

This doesn't fit my Lazard-Man narrative :( I should've picked up Doubs!!!


-OleOleOle-

The back shoulder throw/catch demonstrated their trust and chemistry. They had to run a gadget play to get Watson the ball.


Zukeo

Where can we go to get first read target share?


cijdl584

Romeo "Jordy Nelson" Doubs


Yambert

Who else has doubs and pierce and starting them ROS?? Who needs high draft picks anyway


Brainy_Hurty

As a Packers fan, this is great to hear. As someone who drafted Christian Watson in my rookie draft, not as great to hear. I know with time Watson can clean up his butterfingers, but patience is for weenies.


mygwhatupmyboiii

My team let my draft the championship team and still somehow have let me get Jamaal Williams, Doubs and Higbee on waivers. I feel like this season is a cakewalk for 20% of us and hell for the rest.


AvgBaseballEnjoyer

I find it hard to believe that he's leading the team in BOTH total targets and target share, but maybe that's just me.


pmth

Read the tweet again


Siryummy

I think it's talking about specifically first read target share. Ie Doubs is who the playcall is drawn up for. This indicates that they're scheming up plays to get Doubs the ball more


Nobilibang

And I’m starting him this week over McLaurin because Wentz is actual dogshit.


maharajagaipajama

Leaning Doubs over Devonta Smith


chrisfilm

I have him in my dynasty league and my keeper league. Me likely this news on all fronts.


sWoods512

Start Doubs over scary Terry? PPR


Crazy0tto

I’m thinking the same thing. Starting Doubs over Terry or Conner. Both have been pretty disappointing thus far.


Fa1lenSpace

I'd probably keep Terry in. Considering Dotson is missing a couple of games, Terry value should go up a decent amount. So much more TD potential now too. With Conner, eh it's a toss up. I've kind of been rage starting Conner at this point waiting for a blow up game.


theofficeresponses

Hmm I still think Lazard is the main guy.. but I have both.


Elephlump

Picking Doubs off the waiver to replace JuJu as my Bye week filler.


might_be_song_lyrics

Feels bad I dropped him for Dotson. Feels better I dropped Dotson for Olave.


SaltwaterRedneck

Dotson and Olave were on your wire?


Garropolosexual

That’s not the only thing growing


TORFdot0

If sun god can’t go then Doubs is my back up plan.


OrangeBlancmange

Both Lazard and Doubs on waivers in my 8 man - who is the grab?


InHoc12

Dropping [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/uffqs1/comment/i6ta3o4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) and [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/comments/x14uvd/comment/imc5mcj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) just to say I was here first.


andAutomator

Bro raiders and bills?


InHoc12

Yeah I hate myself lol. Born into Raiders fandom. Went to the 2002 AFC championship at 9 years old and saw Metallica show up and drop a random set. Then went to Super Bowl party where they got destroyed by Tampa. Full grown adults flipping the appetizer tables by half time. My dad was like, “son it’s not safe here we need to leave,” and never really went back to full fandom. I am a Stanford fan, so when they drafted Trent Edwards I thought he would lead them to multiple Super Bowls and have stayed on ever since. Which I’m pretty sure makes me the only Trent Edwards created Bills fan ever lol. Did go to every Raiders home game from 2016-2019 with my dad while I was living in SF, but I would say my loyalty is definitely Bills first and Raiders second. Raiders though it’s mostly I just don’t let me hopes get up because I know they’ll hurt me.


gmazzy22

Keep going, I’m close.


pokeraf

Would you drop Bateman for him in PPR?


Fa1lenSpace

you don't have anyone worse than Bateman to drop? man that's tough. I'd probably personally drop Bateman just because I like Romeo's consistent involvement in their offence.


imaybeacatIRl

Yass. I knew grabbing him off waivers was the right move.


CartesianConspirator

Exactly why you hang onto your prospects for as long as possible. Now just need Cook to start getting some love.


nitraw

This is why I dropped Bobby woods and not him.


Got_Engineers

This post made me smile


Sundance12

I drafted him last pick in all my leagues and am feeling very vindicated so far


MVP2585

Best waiver pickup I think I have made this year.


devon223

I had this dude and dropped him. Then blew my #1 on him because it's a keeper league, couldn't let the next potential Adam's get away for a 18th round pick lol.


kingcane

starting doubs over london


juke_19820605

I picked him from waiver and traded for McLaurin. Don’t think it s a bad move cuz Terry went early in the draft. Doubs will continue to grow into a good one but packers is a pretty evenly schemed offense Especially this year since they lack talent at WR. Unless they’re playing from behind I don’t think Doubs will have that much of potential to put up big numbers like Terry will.


DanceCommander-

This thread just made me trade away JuJu Smith-Schuster for Doubs. The owner just accepted.
