Romeo Doubs vs Terry McLaurin: Who Should You Start?
Romeo Doubs (8.6 PPG) and Terry McLaurin (9.5 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two wide receivers are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Romeo Doubs played 16 games for the New England Patriots; Terry McLaurin suited up 10 times for the Washington Commanders.
A 0.9-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Both are workload receivers with similar target shares. Romeo Doubs turned 85 targets into 724 yards and 6 touchdowns, while Terry McLaurin converted 60 looks into 582 yards and 3 scores. When target volume is this close, game script and defensive matchup typically decide the weekly winner.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 14 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
