Through two preseason games, Green Bay Packers receiver Romeo Doubs has done nothing to hurt his status as a top breakout candidate for Matt LaFleur’s team in 2023. In fact, Doubs has provided even more evidence of his breakout potential through two games.
The sample size is, of course, small. Doubs has played all of 19 snaps in games against the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots.
But the numbers are worth considering as the regular season approaches. Doubs has caught all four of his targets, including three contested targets, and Jordan Love has a perfect 158.3 passer rating when targeting him.
Love’s stats through two preseason games:
— 4 targets
— 4 catches
— 3/3 contested catches
— 1 TD, 3 first downs
— 18.3 yards/catch
— 3.84 yards/route run
— 158.3 passer rating when targeted
Doubs caught two more passes over three series during Saturday’s preseason showdown with the Patriots. LaFleur described both as “big-time catches,” including an impressive snag in traffic to convert 3rd-and-7.
Here are all four of Doubs’ targets and catches this preseason:
