So yes, I do think he is a wide receiver one. He needs to be in lineups every week, no matter what... They've expanded his route tree significantly as well.

Wicks is a must-start WR1 with an expanded route tree and elite QB play

Matthew Berry views Wicks as a WR1 who must be in lineups every week due to his big-play ability and Jordan Love's elite downfield passing. His role has expanded beyond just deep routes, as he is now playing the Z-receiver position and running a more diverse route tree.
