Mike Evans vs Romeo Doubs: Who Should You Start?
This is a genuine coin flip on paper. Mike Evans finished the 2025 season at 8.7 PPG over 8 games with the San Francisco 49ers, while Romeo Doubs clocked in at 8.6 across 16 appearances for the New England Patriots. A 0.1-point gap means any given week could go either way.
With a margin this thin, season averages are not the deciding factor. Weekly variables like opponent defense, game script, and injury status carry more weight than a fraction of a PPG. The right start in Week 6 might be the wrong start in Week 14.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Mike Evans turned 61 targets into 368 yards and 3 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.
One scheduling note: Mike Evans is off Week 9 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.
