Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 7 contest on Sunday at Lambeau Field against the Houston Texans. Wicks was limited in practice all week and picked up a questionable tag on the final injury report, but he will suit up after getting injured in last week's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old only caught one of his three targets for nine yards before getting hurt last week and had two receptions for 20 yards the week prior against the Los Angeles Rams. Wicks has found the end zone three times this year, including twice in the Week 4 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, but he'll continue to be a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy managers in a crowded receiver corps in Green Bay that also includes Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (ankle) turned in three limited practices this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report. He should be all set to suit up for Green Bay's game against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Watson returned to the lineup in Week 6 following an ankle injury that kept him out of Week 5's game with the Rams. He led the team with 68 receiving yards, catching 3-of-4 targets, plus a touchdown grab that capped off his afternoon. Watson's ankle is clearly being managed a bit more despite him taking 60% of snaps and 72% of routes per dropback last week, so with the stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for target, Watson will be in a tough spot to return consistent fantasy production each week. Still, as Watson is a big play waiting to happen, he should be considered a boom-or-bust WR3 with solid flex viability this week against the Texans.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs will look to build off his return to the Packers' lineup last week in Green Bay's Week 7 tilt with the visiting Houston Texans. Doubs had his best game of the season in Week 6 against the Cardinals, posting three receptions for 49 yards and two touchdown grabs on the afternoon. Finishing as WR11 on the week, Doubs' fantasy scoring was a bit touchdown-heavy, but made the most of his limited grabs. As the lead Packers' receiver in terms of routes run, Doubs will be on the field more often than any other Packers receivers, but the fact remains that there is stiff competition with Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Tucker Kraft, Dontayvion Wicks, and other pass-catchers for targets each week. Because of that, Doubs is a low-end WR3 for fantasy managers this week against the Texans, as this contest could be one of the higher-scoring games this weekend.
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (groin) came off the Packers' final injury report after turning in three limited practices and is good to go as Green Bay takes on the Houston Texans in Week 7. After two consecutive overall TE1 performances in Weeks 4-5, Kraft came back down to earth with just two receptions for 13 yards in the Packers' win over the Cardinals. Kraft's down game had to do with the returning options back for the Packers, as Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson both came back to combine for three touchdowns. With so many weapons in tow for the Packers, Kraft's floor may be a bit lower than we'd like, but those two weeks where he was overall TE1 show the potential when he is targeted. Because of how shallow tight end is in fantasy, Kraft is a low-end TE1 against the Texans this week.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (ankle) turned in three limited practice sessions this week and was removed from the Packers' injury report for Week 7 as Green Bay hosts the Houston Texans. Reed has been a volatile fantasy option but has turned in 5-of-6 games with double-digit fantasy points, including an overall WR1 and WR2 finish. Big plays are Reed's specialty, but he's mixed in some target earning as well with at least six targets in 5-of-6 games this season. Reed has been used deep and at the line of scrimmage, as evidence by his average depth of target (aDOT) in Week 5 (12.7 yards) and his aDOT from Week 6 (-1.8 yards) where he was used more as a short-area target. No matter how he's used, Reed has been incredibly productive this season and will be a key piece of the puzzle when the Packers battle the Texans. Consider Reed a low-end fantasy WR1 with overall WR1 upside in this Week 7 clash.
