Wicks elevated to WR2 role post-A.J. Brown trade; Barkley calls him a steal.

Wicks is expected to take on a key WR2 role following the trade of A.J. Brown. He has been Jalen Hurts' top target with both Smith and Lemon missing time due to hamstring injuries. The former Green Bay Packers wideout has been productive through his first three NFL seasons, averaging 1.60 yards per route run, and has added value as a run blocker with PFF run-blocking grades above 65.0 in two of the past three seasons. Saquon Barkley praised him directly, saying "[Dontayvion Wicks] is a steal… I don't know how we got him." Wicks has made tough contested catches in camp and has not struggled with drops so far, despite nine drops in 2024.
