Michael Wilson vs Romeo Doubs: Who Should You Start?
Michael Wilson and Romeo Doubs are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Michael Wilson averaged 10.7 PPG across 17 games with the Arizona Cardinals, while Romeo Doubs posted 8.6 PPG in 16 appearances for the New England Patriots.
A 2.1-PPG gap gives Michael Wilson 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.
Target volume is the story here. Michael Wilson saw 126 targets in 2025, while Romeo Doubs drew 85. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Michael Wilson, even in weeks where Romeo Doubs posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Michael Wilson has his bye in Week 11, 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.
