Elic Ayomanor vs Romeo Doubs: Who Should You Start?
Elic Ayomanor and Romeo Doubs are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Elic Ayomanor averaged 6.0 PPG across 16 games with the Tennessee Titans, while Romeo Doubs posted 8.6 PPG in 16 appearances for the New England Patriots.
A 2.6-PPG gap gives Romeo Doubs the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Elic Ayomanor turned 89 targets into 515 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Romeo Doubs converted 85 looks into 724 yards and 6 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
Elic Ayomanor has his bye in Week 5, and Romeo Doubs rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
