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

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring), Jayden Reed (chest) and Dontayvion Wicks (chest) were all listed as limited in the team's walkthrough practice estimation on Wednesday. It's the first time that Watson has been listed as limited in a practice since he injured his hamstring all the way back in Week 13. It doesn't necessarily mean the 24-year-old will return for a must-win Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears, but he's making good progress. Even if Watson does get the green light this Sunday, he'll be a volatile fantasy option in DFS lineups in a tough matchup, especially if both Reed and Wicks are also active. With Watson and Wicks out in last week's win over the Minnesota Vikings, Reed went off for six catches, 89 yards and two touchdowns. Reed has been a touchdown machine in the second half of his rookie campaign with seven total scores in his last seven games.
