Poll: Who Will Replace Doubs As Love's Go To Guy On Key Passing Downs?

[Joemailman]

Doubs led the Packers with 55 receptions in 2025. 41 for 1st Downs. 6 for Touchdowns.

I went with Golden. Better route runner than Reed or Watson.

Kraft already was there last year. Golden had some clutch catches though.

This. If Kraft didn't go down with injury he would have matched Doubs in "key situations". He's a stud. He is also about to follow a Gutes trend by signing a record deal after half a season of good play.

Went with Golden because Kraft will be out for a while and Love will need to get used to someone else. Golden is the natural choice.

I don't know if Kraft will miss games. He got hurt 6 weeks before Parsons. However, it might take him a while to get up to pre-injury status.

Kraft would probably be the correct answer here, but I ended up going with Reed. He's proven in the past he can be that guy.

C-Wat would be putting up pretty numbers if he had balls. Dude’s softer than Michael Sam in a brothel full of hot chicks.

Maybe this year he finally grows a pair.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like if Kraft, Watson, Reed and Golden are all healthy at the same time. In 2025 they had 0 games with all of them available to play. 8 games with 3 of them. 8 games with 2 of them. 1 game with 1.

Watson has averaged 17.0 yards per catch and 10.0 yards per target compared. Those numbers rank second and fifth, respectively, in the NFL among the 176 receivers targeted at least 50 times the last four seasons. That’s considerably better than the 12.0 yards per catch and 7.6 yards per target for Doubs. Those figures rank 101st and 98th respectively.

Watson dominated from the slot last season. Of the 68 receivers targeted at least 19 times in the slot (Watson’s number), he was first with a 150.8 passer rating when targeted, second with 20.2 yards per catch and second with 3.55 yards per route, according to PFF.

Saw the above two quotes in an article discussing the decisions to extend Watson and allow Doubs to leave.

I don't see much real debate in terms of Watson vs. Doubs. You pay big money for big production, and you're not getting "big" out of Doubs. You're getting consistent, you're getting third-down-get-open, you get heady, but you don't get explosion. And I do like Doubs, don't get me wrong. He was very good for Green Bay, especially given his draft status. But Watson . . . with the big "IF" of course - is the big-play superstar.
