Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Struggles with six targets
Rotowire
Wicks recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles.
Wicks was thrust into an expanded role with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined and both Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) suffering injuries during the game. He saw a team-high six targets as a result, though he struggled to convert that into production. The exception came on a long 29-yard reception midway through the third quarter, which helped set up a field goal as the Packers attempted to rally. Wicks will be back with the team for his third pro season in 2025, and he could see an expanded role early in the campaign depending on Watson's recovery.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Five catches as Watson goes down
Rotowire
Wicks caught five of six targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.
Wicks led the Packers in catches while finishing four receiving yards shy of Malik Heath's team-leading total in the regular-season finale. Both depth wideouts could maintain elevated roles on the road against the Eagles in the wild-card round, as fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) exited Sunday's loss due to a non-contact injury and Romeo Doubs (illness) didn't dress. Wicks caught 39 of 76 targets for 415 yards and five touchdowns in an up-and-down regular season.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Four grabs against Vikings
Rotowire
Wicks caught four of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.
Wicks finished second in playing time among Packers wideouts, handling a 73 percent offensive snap share in the contest. The 23-year-old's five targets were also second-most among Green Bay pass catchers, trailing only Romeo Doubs (11). With teammate Christian Watson (knee) inactive for the game, Wicks saw a more prominent role than usual, but if Watson can play Week 18 against the Bears, Wicks would likely be headed for a downturn in his snap count.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
If Christian Watson (knee) remains out in Week 18 against the Bears, then Wicks is in play as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues. In the past two games with Watson hurt or out against New Orleans and Minnesota, Wicks has 12 targets for seven catches, 56 yards, and a touchdown.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Clicks in Week 16
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted seven times and had three receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints.
Wicks didn't add much production after finding the end zone on Green Bay's opening drive, but that was his first touchdown since Week 7. Wicks has gotten more involved after a quiet midseason stretch, and he could be busier than he has been in Week 17 if fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) is unable to go.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Christian Watson (knee) injured his knee Monday night against the Saints, and we'll see what his status is for Week 17 at Minnesota. If Watson is out, then Wicks can be a potential No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in a great matchup against the Vikings, who are No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to receivers. Watson left the Week 4 game against Minnesota, and Wicks stepped up with five catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Two catches against Seattle
Rotowire
Wicks caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.
Wicks had a quiet day in Week 15, recording his lowest yardage total in the past four games. The 23-year-old wideout played 30 of the Packers' 64 offensives snaps, behind Christian Watson (50), Romeo Doubs (48) and Jayden Reed (38). As long as the trio of top receivers remains healthy down the stretch, Wicks will continue to see an uphill battle for consistent playing time. The Virginia product will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Packers host the Saints in Week 16.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Four catches in division loss
Rotowire
Wicks secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.
Wicks tied Tucker Kraft for second in targets and Christian Watson for the team lead in receptions, although he was a distant second to the latter in receiving yards. Nevertheless, it was notable that Wicks logged four more targets than No. 1 receiver Jayden Reed, who went without a catch. Wicks has back-to-back four-reception outings heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night, Dec. 15, but he could be looking at a reduced role if Romeo Doubs (concussion) returns for that game.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Wicks could have an expanded role for the second game in a row in Week 14 at Detroit if Romeo Doubs (concussion) remains out. Doubs was out in Week 13 against Miami, and Wicks had four catches for 30 yards on five targets. The Lions are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Wicks could be a nice sleeper if he continues to be a prime target for Jordan Love against Detroit. Wicks is worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
Wicks recorded four catches on five targets for 30 yards Thursday in a 30-17 victory versus the Dolphins.
Romeo Doubs (concussion) missed the Thanksgiving Day game, making room for more opportunity for Wicks. The latter was on the field for 89 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps after not playing more than 40 percent of the team's offensive snaps over the previous two weeks. Wicks' production remained modest, however, and if Doubs is able to return to action next Thursday against Detroit, Wicks may again spend more time on the sideline than on the field.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 13 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Wicks is worth adding in deeper leagues heading into Week 13 since Romeo Doubs (concussion) could be out against the Dolphins. Wicks ended his two-game slump with a 25-yard reception in Week 12 against San Francisco, but it was his lone catch on just two targets. It's risky to use Wicks in the majority of leagues, but if Doubs is out, then he could have the chance to help managers in deeper formats for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Back in box score
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice and had one reception for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.
Wicks was shut out in back-to-back appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, but he got back on the board with a long reception in the fourth quarter of the game. Opportunities have been lacking for Wicks, who has just three 20-yard receptions in 2024 after racking up 11 of those across 15 regular-season games in 2023. He could see a boost in targets in Week 13 if Romeo Doubs (concussion) is unable to play, but he will enter with just three receptions for 36 yards across his last four appearances, and he will take on a Miami defense that has shut down wideouts as well as anyone.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Shut out once more
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.
Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Finishes without reception
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted three times and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.
Wicks would have had a better day had he hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he was shut out in the receptions department for the third time in nine games. Wicks has found pay dirt four times this season, but he has totaled just 16 catches, and all of Green Bay's receivers are healthy, so it could be worth making a roster move with the Packers on bye Week 10.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Draws just two targets
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars.
Wicks found the end zone for the fourth time this season his last time out, but he did not do much for fantasy players that included him in Week 8 lineups. He remains capable of producing when given the opportunity, but he has had fewer of those of late, as since injuring his shoulder Week 6 his snap count has taken a noticeable hit. Wicks could get back on track Week 9 against a Lions team that has allowed opposing wideouts to rack up a league-high 124 receptions, but his prospects will take a hit if starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is unable to go.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Catches 30-yard TD in Week 7 win
Rotowire
Wicks (shoulder) caught three of six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans.
Wicks finished second behind Romeo Doubs in both targets and receiving yards while playing through a shoulder injury the former sustained in Week 6 against Arizona. Most of Wicks' production came on a 30-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Wicks has reached the end zone on four of his 14 catches this season, and the opportunistic wide receiver will try to continue his scoring spree in Week 8 against a generous Jacksonville secondary.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Active in Week 7
Rotowire
Wicks (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Texans, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Wicks made an early departure from last Sunday's win against the Cardinals in the first half with a shoulder injury that initially was reported to be a week-to-week concern. He then put himself in a position to be available Week 7 after cobbling together three limited practices that left him questionable for Sunday's game. Now that he's active, Wicks likely will remain Green Bay's fourth option at wide receiver with all of Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs suiting up.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Wicks (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Wicks was a limited practice participant all week, after missing the final three quarters of last week's win over the Cardinals. He seems to have avoided a serious injury but could end up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, in which case Christian Watson would get more snaps than usual and other Packers pass catchers would see slight boosts to their target-share projections.
Wicks (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Wicks sustained a shoulder injury this past Sunday versus the Cardinals and wasn't able to return to action. According Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, initial reports suggested that Wicks' injury was a week-to-week concern, but his ability to practice Wednesday has given him a chance to be available Sunday against the Texans. Fellow wideouts Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) also had a cap on their reps to begin Week 7 prep, so the position group will be one to watch as the week goes on.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Week-to-week with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Wicks (shoulder) is considered week-to-week, Fox Sports NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports.
Wicks exited Sunday's win over the Cardinals due to the shoulder injury. His week-to-week status suggests Wicks could miss Green Bay's Week 7 home game against the Texans, though his participation, or lack thereof, in practice will provide a hint as to his availability. Jayden Reed (ankle), Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs should continue to operate as the Packers' top three receivers.
