Dontayvion Wicks's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks will go on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys in the first week of the NFL playoffs. The rookie ended the year on a high note, scoring two touchdowns and helping propel the Packers into the playoffs. He has been a mainstay in the offense, with Christian Watson (hamstring) missing the season's final five games. However, Watson could make his return after getting a week of limited practice participation, pushing Wicks' snap share down. Dallas has been top-five in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers this season, so the 22-year-old will be a risky boom-or-bust flex option in DFS tournaments this weekend with a boost in value if Watson is ruled out.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks caught six of seven targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 17-9 win over the Chicago Bears. The rookie caught a touchdown in both the second and third quarters, which ended up being the only two end zone drives of the game. Since Week 14, Wicks has seen his role in the offense increase due to the loss of Christian Watson (hamstring), and he has capitalized on his opportunity multiple times. Watson should be good to go next week, but now that Romeo Doubs (chest) status for next week is up in the air, the 22-year-old could be a sneaky flex option for those playing in daily fantasy formats next week when the Packers take on the Dallas Cowboys.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) are active for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction after practicing all three days this past week. Reed, Wicks, and Romeo Doubs should all see significant opportunities this week with Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined. Of the group, Reed has the most fantasy appeal, ranking as a high-end WR3.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (chest) and Jayden Reed (chest) are both questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Christian Watson (hamstring), who has missed the last four games, is also questionable, but he appears to have a better shot at returning in a must-win game for the Packers. Before getting hurt in the Week 17 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Reed had six catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns with both Watson and Wicks out. Even if Watson returns to action this weekend, Reed, who we expect to play, will be the most expensive and attractive DFS play. The 23-year-old has been a touchdown machine in the second half of his first NFL season and has found the end zone seven times in the last seven games. On the flip side, Chicago isn't friendly to opposing wideouts, so all of Green Bay's receivers have some level of bust potential as well.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (chest) improved from a limited practice to log a full session on Thursday. Wicks was inactive for last Sunday night's Week 17 win over the division-rival Minnesota Vikings due to bruised ribs, but he is very much on course to return in Week 18 versus another division foe in the Chicago Bears for the regular-season finale. The 22-year-old fifth-round pick has put together a rather encouraging rookie year overall despite several injuries as Green Bay's No. 3 wideout, gathering 33 of his 51 targets for 520 yards and two touchdowns in 14 contests. With Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest) limited on Thursday, Wicks could be in for an expanded role if one or both of his teammates are unable to go on Sunday.
