Doubs is another wide receiver coming off a career year. In 2025, with Jayden Reed and Christian Watson on the shelf, Doubs established himself as one of Jordan Love’s preferred targets with 55 receptions for 724 yards and 6 touchdowns, averaging 13.2 yards per catch over 16 games. Romeo has generally improved as a receiver each season and hit career highs in 2025 for yards per route run (73rd percentile) and yards per reception (65th percentile). Doubs possesses good size and speed, and while he was very raw as a rookie, he has become a polished route runner that can win on all three levels:
Along with his strengths, Doubs has a few weaknesses. At times, he vanishes from games and has also struggled with the drops during his career. Romeo ranks in the 32nd percentile in drop rate when compared to the rest of the league. He also has a somewhat extensive injury history including two concussions in 2024. Doubs’ other weakness comes with the ball in his hands as he is not a playmaker after the catch, ranking in the lower third in yards after catch per reception. Still, Romeo can be clutch when needed, especially in short areas of the field. He is now up to 23 career touchdowns, ranking in the 71st percentile for touchdowns per target.
It all adds up to a mid-level contract for a player that is almost guaranteed to depart the Packers in free agency. If signed to an affordable contract, Doubs would be a free agent win for a WR room that has no young, proven talent.

When targeting free agents, it is wise to include players with the nickname “Speedy,” the moniker of our next player. Jalen Nailor was a sixth-round selection by the Vikings, and his 4.50 40-yard dash was a good part of the reason. Nailor has developed slowly over his career and is currently the fourth receiving option in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. While his 2025 stat line of 29 receptions for 444 yards and four touchdowns might not seem impressive, fans should remember that he was catching passes from JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer.
Nailor is adept at finding holes in zones and coverages. Primarily utilized in the slot by the Vikings, Nailor also has inside-out versatility, and while he is not quite the burner his nickname might imply, he can challenge defenders vertically out of multiple alignments. Here is a clip of one of his TDs in 2024:
While the clip is older, it shows how Nailor can capitalize on a simple switch route when the cornerback makes an error in coverage. Jalen might not have the speed of a top wide receiver, but his athleticism translates to the field, and he can win early at the line of scrimmage. That is something the Commanders are lacking. The Vikings may try to bring him back, but Nailor should test free agency, where a short-term deal with Jayden Daniels might help secure a lucrative contract before the receiver reaches his thirties. As an added bonus, Nailor has some familiarity with David Blough as the two overlapped during his rookie year with the Vikings.
It seems hard to believe, but Terry McLaurin is winding down his time with the Burgundy & Gold. The Commanders would be smart to pair Jayden Daniels with a young, ascending talent for the remainder of his rookie contract. Doubs makes a lot sense in terms of value and fit that would work well across from McLaurin, and be able to step into Terry’s role if needed. While there may be opportunities to draft players like Germie Bernard, Adam Peters should make sure he acquires a starting-level talent in free agency and would be well advised to add a few high-upside depth players as he rounds out the team’s roster.
