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.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Won't return to Week 6 contest
Rotowire
Wicks (shoulder) has been ruled out from returning to Sunday's matchup against Arizona.
Wicks was injured in the first half and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out early in the third quarter. Prior to his exit, the wideout caught one of three targets for nine yards. Malik Heath could get a bit more work on offense with Wicks done for the day.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Records another goose egg
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 30-14 victory over the Titans.
Wicks caught three passes for 26 yards and a score in Week 2, but he has now sandwiched that showing between a pair of goose eggs. He has finished fourth among Packers wideouts in snaps in all three games this season, and while his upside will get a boost when starting quarterback Jordan Love (knee) returns, he remains in a complementary role heading into Week 4's clash with the Vikings.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Finds pay dirt in win
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted four times and caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.
Wicks was held without a reception Week 1, but it did not take him long to make a mark Week 2, as he hauled in a touchdown pass from Malik Willis in the first quarter of Sunday's contest. Wicks finished fourth among Packers receivers in snaps for the second time as many weeks, but the snap distribution was more spread out among the top five wideouts than it was in the opener. Whether that's because Willis was under center rather than Jordan Love is not evident, so while things look better for Wicks than they did after one contest, his stock has seemingly not been altered significantly.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Still behind Doubs and Watson?
Rotowire
Wicks took only six of a possible 26 snaps with the first-team offense during the Packers' Family Night practice Saturday, Justin Mosqueda of Acme Packing Co. reports.
Romeo Doubs led the WRs with 21 first-team snaps, followed by Christian Watson (19) and Jayden Reed (16). It's only one practice, but this adds to the concerns about Wicks not getting regular playing time despite making the most of his limited opportunities as a rookie. The 2023 fifth-round pick led the Packers in yards per target (10.0) and yards per route (2.13) last season, putting up a 39-581-4 line on just 58 targets, 273 routes and 458 snaps over 15 regular-season games. In different circumstances, Wicks might now slot in as a comfortable starter with a full workload. His current reality, however, is that the Packers' impressive depth at wide receiver means he'll have to continue battling for snaps.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Ends with goose egg
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Saturday's 24-21 loss to the 49ers.
Wicks entered Saturday's contest on a bit of a hot streak, but he did not make a mark outside of the targets in Green Bay's final game of the season. He did reach the end zone in his team's playoff opener, and over the final six games of the regular season, he averaged 3.7 receptions and 56.8 receiving yards while scoring three times. Every Packers wideout that finished the year on the roster is under contract for 2024, so it's tough to predict what role Wicks will open next season in. However, he made a major mark during his rookie campaign, and he figures to make a push for a starting spot in Year 2.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Finds paydirt in win
Rotowire
Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-32 victory over the Cowboys.
Wicks did not do much in the reception or yardage columns, but he found the end zone again after doing so three times over his final two appearances of the regular season. Green Bay had all its receivers available Sunday for the first time since Week 13, but Wicks was still credited with a start and finished second among Packers wideouts in snaps. He will continue playing a key role the rest of the way.
