projecting him into the No. 2 receiver spot is, well, a projection; Wicks' most prolific season was two years ago, when he had 76 targets, 39 catches, and 415 receiving yards; Wicks caught 65.2% of his 46 targets last season, though, and the Eagles will be banking on that upward trend continuing.

STACKED’s take

Wicks' No. 2 role uncertain; catch rate improvement trend is key.

The Eagles traded for the 25-year-old Wicks and coach Nick Sirianni has been bullish on him, but projecting him into the No. 2 receiver spot is uncertain. His most prolific season was two years ago with 76 targets, 39 catches, and 415 receiving yards at a 51.3% catch rate, compared to Smith's 68.1% and Goedert's 73.2%. However, Wicks improved to a 65.2% catch rate on 46 targets last season, and the Eagles are banking on that upward trend continuing.
