Should I start Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, Jahmyr Gibbs for Week 7? Fantasy football start em, sit em picks and recommendations for the 2023 NFL season.

The week 7 NFL state is upon us, and it features plenty of exciting matchups. Many fantasy football managers are worried about picking the right player to start for their teams to get a win in their respective leagues.

Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson will face the Denver Broncos this week as the Green Bay Packers, who are coming off a bye, aim to snap their two-game losing streak. The Packers' division rival, the Detroit Lions, will go against the Baltimore Ravens, and all eyes will be on their first-round pick, running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

Should you start Doubs, Watson, or Gibbs this week? Let's take a look at their fantasy outlook and matchup details.

Should I Start Romeo Doubs for Fantasy Football?

As mentioned earlier, Romeo Doubs and the Packers will face the Denver Broncos this week. This is a very favorable matchup for all the Packers' players, as the Broncos arguably have the worst defense in the league.

Although the AFC West franchise did well in limiting Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, they are still giving away an average of 440.3 yards per game. Coming off a bye week, Jordan Love will be ready to bounce back, and Doubs, who hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 3, will be a red zone threat.

The RotoBaller staff has Doubs ranked #38 among wide receivers, and you can use him as a flex option for this week.

Should I Start Christian Watson for Fantasy Football?

Christian Watson entered this season as the Packers' WR1, but he missed the first three games of this campaign due to a hamstring injury. As stated above in Doubs' case, Watson has the potential to have a big game against the struggling Broncos on Sunday.

In two games this season, he has recorded five receptions for 116 yards and scored one touchdown. Given that Aaron Jones is also healthy, it provides a great opportunity for the Packers' receivers to make an impact on the game. His speed could cause serious problems for the Broncos' defense.

This game is tailor-made for Watson, and you should definitely start him this week.  The RotoBaller staff has him ranked #26 among the receivers ahead of Week 7.

Should I Start Jahmyr Gibbs for Fantasy Football?

Jahmyr Gibbs entered this season with high expectations, as it was believed he would be used in multiple ways to help the explosive Lions' defense. However, so far, the story has been completely different.

David Montgomery has been involved much more than Gibbs, and it has left many fantasy football managers frustrated. Unfortunately for Montgomery, the running back is ruled out of Week 7's game against the Ravens due to the rib injury he suffered last week.

Lions HC Dan Campbell has indicated that Gibbs will be involved much more in the offense, but it remains to be seen whether it will be true. This might be the best opportunity that managers will get to start Gibbs this season, and they should not refrain from it.

He is currently ranked #19 among RBs by the RotoBaller staff and has the opportunity to have his breakout game on Sunday.
