Romeo Doubs Leads WR Group

Packers WR Romeo Doubs led the team in targets Sunday for the first time since Week 1. He tallied game highs in receptions (8) and receiving yards (94) in the win over the Texans. Doubs drew a strong 30.3% target share and ran a route on a team-high 86.5% of QB Jordan Love's dropbacks.

Doubs' one-week tantrum remains strange. He leads the team in targets per game for the season and trails only Jayden Reed in:

receptions per game (4.1 to 3.8)
yards per game (64.6 to 52.0)

Doubs is also working on career highs in:

yards per catch (13.6)
yards per target (9.2, up 2.2 over his previous high)
catch rate (67.6%)
receiving success rate (team-high 64.7%)

The crowded Packers' pass-catching corps makes it tough for everyone to consistently draw strong target counts. And Doubs is more limited athletically than his top three corps mates.

But his WR-leading playing time combines with Love's high-level play to make him a weekly WR3-4 option.

Green Bay gets upside passing matchups with the Jaguars and Lions the next two games, ahead of a Week 10 bye.
