Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.
Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)
“I believe Romeo Doubs is a solid start for a few reasons. For starters, knowing how the Packers operate under Matt LaFleur, it would appear the Packers will want to get him involved often in his first game back from suspension. In addition, the Packers have had a tough time finding production from a receiver not named Jayden Reed due to Dontayvion Wicks‘ drop issues and Christian Watson‘s inability to stay on the field. There is a role that needs to be filled, and Doubs will likely be asked to fill it this week.”

Ja’Lynn Polk (WR – NE)
“Ja’Lynn Polk played 100% of the team’s offensive snaps in Week 5. That’s every single snap! He’s the clear top outside receiver but in New England, that hasn’t meant much. The change to Drake Maye could trigger something positive, though, meaning Polk has the chance to break out in Week 6. If you’re desperate at WR, you can do worse.”
– Ben Wasley (The Fantasy First Down)
“Ja’Lynn Polk has seen his snap share increase from between 50-60% the first three weeks to 83% and 100% the last two weeks. That hasn’t translated into big production so far, but that could change with the Patriots’ quarterback swap from Jacoby Brissett to Drake Maye.”

Jalen Tolbert (WR – DAL)
“Jalen Tolbert is finally making waves in the NFL, and fantasy managers should take notice. Currently ranked WR40 by ECR, I have him at WR35 based on his recent performance and potential. After being drafted in the 3rd round from a smaller school, Tolbert is starting to find his rhythm. In a recent game, he racked up 10 targets, including a game-winning touchdown, showing he can be a reliable option. With Brandin Cooks now on IR, Tolbert’s role has expanded significantly. Over the last two weeks, he’s posted an impressive 80% route share and an 18.8% target rate-only 3% less than CeeDee Lamb. This week, the Cowboys face a Detroit defense that ranks 5th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. With a projected high-scoring game (Over/Under at 48.5), Tolbert is positioned as a solid WR3 or flex play. If you’re looking for a boost in your lineup, Tolbert could be the player to watch as he continues to carve out his role in Dallas. Don’t miss the opportunity to snag this emerging talent!”
