All FantasyPros Articles insights about Dontayvion Wicks

PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Dontayvion Wicks had only two catches in Philadelphia's 24-22 Week 1 win over Washington, but they were both impactful: one went for 64 yards and the other went for nine yards and a touchdown. Wicks had four targets in Week 1, but Jalen Hurts threw only 25 passes. Wicks' snap and route counts, not his target count, tell the tale of his involvement: he played only two fewer snaps and ran two fewer routes than DeVonta Smith, who led Eagles receivers in both categories, and played 15 more snaps than first-round rookie Makai Lemon. Wicks is a worthwhile addition with favorable matchups coming against the Titans and Bears the next two weeks.

PositiveRoleSep 13, 2026
Wicks is playing the WR2 role alongside DeVonta Smith in an Eagles offense that appears significantly upgraded. Sean Mannion is the new offensive coordinator and represents a major upgrade over Kevin Patullo, under whom the Eagles had one of their worst offensive seasons of the Jalen Hurts era. In 2025, Hurts' average depth of target was 9 yards; per PFF, in Week 1 under Mannion, that number nearly tripled. Wicks is a great deep-ball threat in an offense that appears to be stretching the field more aggressively.

PositiveSleeperSep 10, 2026
Dontayvion Wicks ranks 125th in Week 1 half-PPR flex rankings but is a strong sleeper start, trending as the Eagles' WR2 behind DeVonta Smith with rookie Makai Lemon dealing with a hamstring issue. Wicks has flashed strong separation skills and route running from his Packers days, and the Eagles' offense under new coaching influences could spread targets more evenly. Facing Washington in Week 1 offers a solid matchup for potential spike-week production in a high-powered attack, with boom potential if he sees 6+ targets.

Wicks is transitioning from a crowded Green Bay receiver room to an opportunity as Jalen Hurts' WR2 in Philadelphia. The Eagles traded for him and gave him a 1-year, $12.5 million prove-it extension, signaling confidence. Despite the team drafting Makai Lemon (currently dealing with a hamstring injury), Wicks is showing out in camp and positioned to secure the job for the season. At WR64 ADP, he represents a high-upside, very affordable late-round player who will get plenty of playing time and targets in the revamped Philadelphia offense.

Adam Dove notes Dontayvion Wicks is moving from a crowded receiver room in Green Bay to an opportunity to be Jalen Hurts' WR2. Philadelphia traded for Wicks and gave him a 1-year, $12.5 million prove-it extension. Though Wicks showed flashes for the Packers, he never really broke out. The Eagles drafted Makai Lemon in the NFL, which is why Wicks is currently WR64, but Lemon is dealing with a hamstring injury and Wicks is showing out in camp. Dove expects Wicks to secure the job for the season and reward owners with a high-upside, very affordable, late-round player who will get plenty of playing time and targets in the revamped Philadelphia offense.
