Dontayvion Wicks is ranked WR42 vs. the Rams.

Wicks has returned WR3 or better numbers (WR16 PPR rank) despite not being drafted on average in August, benefiting from injuries to other parties in the offense. The source cautions against counting on him maintaining top-36 numbers for the season.NegativeUsageSep 23, 2026

Ranked 7th on the source's priority target list for waiver wire adds.PositiveRoleSep 22, 2026
Wicks is now in a full-time role and should be cleaned up in leagues where he is still available; he went 2-73-1 in Week 1 and followed it up with 5-74 in Week 2; eventually Makai Lemon will take over in the target pecking order, but it's not happening right away, so Wicks should be rostered everywhere.PositiveValueSep 22, 2026

Wicks took advantage during the preseason when Makai Lemon missed significant time, standing out throughout training camp. The source has seen notable spike weeks from Wicks during his time in Green Bay, and he finally looks set for consistent usage with the Eagles. Marked as a sleeper.PositiveRoleSep 7, 2026
Wicks has been a good boundary target in his three-year career with Green Bay, but the Packers' depth platooned him to limited snaps. Playing time shouldn't be an issue in Philadelphia, especially after first-round rookie Makai Lemon missed almost all training camp with a hamstring injury, positioning Wicks for increased opportunity.PositiveRoleAug 24, 2026
Wicks has made an impressive impression in Philadelphia's training camp and has stepped into the starting WR spot opposite DeVonta Smith after A.J. Brown's trade to New England. Smith and Makai Lemon are practicing in limited fashion due to hamstring injuries, which has opened the door for Wicks. The Eagles traded fifth- and sixth-round picks to acquire Wicks, giving him significant runway for the job ahead of veterans like Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore. However, Philadelphia's run-first offense limits fantasy upside for all non-Smith receivers.NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Wicks is mentioned in the context of the Eagles wide receiver room, which includes DeVonta Smith and Makai Le (content cuts off mid-sentence, limiting full analysis of his role and outlook).NegativeRoleAug 24, 2026
Wicks was rested for the second consecutive preseason game, setting him up to potentially get more snaps than Makai Lemon (hamstring) at the beginning of the season. However, with Lemon and DeVonta Smith expected to be ready for Week 1, Wicks isn't likely to see more than a handful of targets per game even if he's on the field a ton.PositiveDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
The source moved Wicks into WR6 range after preseason week 1, solidifying him as the No. 3 option alongside DeVonta Smith and Makai Lemon. He could be especially useful early in the season with Makai Lemon dealing with a hamstring injury.NegativeDepth ChartAug 17, 2026
Wicks was rested in the preseason game and is positioned as the No. 2 receiver in Eagles buzz, with Makai Lemon starting in the No. 3 role based on his slot-based college background.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
Wicks' ADP has risen 12 spots to pick 180 as the Makai Lemon rookie outlook deteriorates. Wicks is on a one-year, $12M deal and appears to be showing out in camp. JJ Zachariason notes that even though Wicks' profile isn't all that exciting, having a clear path to targets is working in his favor, making him a value play as Lemon's role diminishes.NegativeValueAug 11, 2026
Wicks is referenced as a tier comparison point for Cyrus Allen's ADP trajectory. McKechnie uses the Dontayvion Wicks/Tank Dell/Antonio Williams tier in the low 180s as a benchmark for where Allen could potentially rise to, suggesting Wicks represents a comparable ADP level for late-round receiver evaluation.NegativeDepth ChartAug 10, 2026
Dontayvion Wicks has departed Green Bay, opening up two-WR formation opportunities for Jayden Reed and other receivers.PositiveRoleAug 1, 2026
Wicks was acquired via trade for fifth- and sixth-round picks with $9 million guaranteed, representing a significant investment in Eagles' wide receiver depth; he should see meaningful snaps as part of the team's effort to replace A.J. Brown.
