Chris Olave vs Romeo Doubs: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Chris Olave and Romeo Doubs for your lineup, you are not alone. Chris Olave finished the 2025 season at 13.7 PPG for the New Orleans Saints (16 games), and Romeo Doubs averaged 8.6 for the New England Patriots (16 games).
That 5.1-point weekly advantage for Chris Olave is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Target volume is the story here. Chris Olave saw 156 targets in 2025, while Romeo Doubs drew 85. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Chris Olave, even in weeks where Romeo Doubs posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One scheduling note: Chris Olave is off Week 12 and Romeo Doubs Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in wide receiver for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
