After a strong midseason run, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs faded a bit toward the end of 2025. He scored a touchdown against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, but came up empty in the first half against the Chicago Bears.
Here’s a look at the fourth-year player’s slow start amid the Packers’ NFC North showdown against the Bears in Week 14.
What happened to Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs?
Doubs had some big outings in 2025, enough that he led the Packers in receiving this season as quarterback Jordan Love’s top target. Despite this, he got off to a slow start in Week 14 against the Bears, getting shut out in the first two quarters. Love targeted him once.
It’s a shame his presence couldn’t be felt, because the Packers had their top five receivers active for the first time all season against the Bears in Week 14. Although they were available, the tight ends had stolen the show before Christian Watson finally scored a 23-yard touchdown.
#Packers have their top five WRs active today. For the first time this season.
1. Christian Watson
2. Romeo Doubs
3. Jayden Reed
4. Dontayvion Wicks
5. Matthew Golden– Adam Levitan (@adamlevitan) December 7, 2025
In 12 games this season, Love has targeted Doubs 71 times; he caught 45 passes for 542 yards and five touchdowns. Although his yardage total wasn’t the highest with four catches for 20 yards against the Lions in Week 13, it was the first time Doubs found the end zone since his hat trick in Week 4 in Green Bay’s 40-40 tie against the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite some consistency issues at times this season, Love and the Packers’ offense has performed well according to PFSN’s Offense Impact metric, ranking sixth in the NFL with an impact score of 84.3. While he’s not as high as Watson in PFSN’s WR Impact metric, he still ranks in the top 50 NFL receivers at 41 with an Impact Score of 76.
The offense has been driven by Love this season as the franchise still struggles to find an answer to its void WR1. Rookie Matthew Golden showed some flashes, but injuries slowed his rookie campaign. Love is the third signal caller in the PFSN’s QB Impact metric, behind Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and New England Patriots QB Drake Maye.
They came through the first half with a slight lead over the Bears, but getting the offense going in the second half will be huge in helping them chase the top of the NFC.
