The Green Bay Packers listed receiver Romeo Doubs as a full participant on Wednesday’s injury report, a positive sign ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchup with the Detroit Lions. Doubs has been managing a wrist issue but practiced fully and is expected to be available for the game.
Doubs has seen his production dip over the past month, but he remains a key piece of the team’s receiving room when healthy. His full participation followed an estimated practice designation earlier in the week that had fantasy managers and coaches watching closely for any setback.
Green Bay Packers, Romeo Doubs
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (87) celebrates bringing in a first down next to Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (38) during the second quarter at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024.
Fantasy relevance for Doubs is mixed heading into Week 13 because of recent trends and the emergence of other targets in Green Bay’s offense. He is currently viewed as a borderline WR3 or WR4 option in most formats, and his snap count and route share will be factors fantasy owners will track closely on game day.
The Packers enter the holiday clash holding a wild-card spot in the NFC and a win in Detroit would strengthen their standing in a congested playoff picture. A healthy Doubs could help sustain Green Bay’s passing attack and provide a matchup problem for a Lions secondary that has been exploited at times this season.
Coaches are likely to monitor Doubs through pregame warmups and game flow, balancing his workload against the team’s need for consistent production. If Doubs returns to the kind of volume he saw earlier in the year, his upside increases, but managers should temper expectations given his recent production lull.

Green Bay has come out with an update about Doubs ahead of their match against the Lions. This can be seen in a report shared by the team’s official website.
Romeo Doubs, Wrist – Full Participation
For fantasy managers, the safer play may be to treat Doubs as a low-end start only if needed and to prioritize receivers with steadier roles. For Green Bay, the immediate takeaway is depth and flexibility, as a fully participating Doubs gives the offense one more veteran option to call on in a pivotal late-November matchup.
