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.

Wicks had only two catches in Philadelphia's 24-22 Week 1 win over Washington, but they were both impactful—one for 64 yards and one for 9 yards and a touchdown on 4 targets. His snap and route counts 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. A good route runner who has struggled with drop issues early in his career, Wicks is a worthwhile addition with favorable matchups coming against the Titans and Bears the next two weeks.

Dontayvion Wicks' 64-yard catch was the longest on record by a player in his first game ever with the Eagles. Stathead tracks long catches in a game by a player since 1970, and in that 57-year period no other Eagle had a catch that long in his first game, either a rookie in his NFL debut or a veteran in his first game as an Eagle. The previous longest catch by an Eagle in his first game was Jalen Reagor's 55-yarder from Carson Wentz on his first career target in the Eagles' 2020 opener. The 64-yarder was Wicks' longest career reception by 28 yards; his longest catch with the Packers was a 36-yarder from Jordan Love in 2024.

Dontayvion Wicks is rostered in only 16% of leagues but showed strong involvement in Week 1 despite just two catches on four targets in Philadelphia's 24-22 win over Washington. His snap and route counts tell the real story: 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. Both of Wicks' catches were impactful—one for 64 yards and one for a 9-yard touchdown. With favorable matchups against the Titans and Bears in the next two weeks, Wicks is a worthwhile addition despite his historical drop issues.

Wicks operated as the Eagles' No. 2 receiver, running 91 percent of the routes in Week 1. He was primarily a deep threat with an aDOT of 21.8 and was targeted on a measly 13 percent of his routes. He caught one of two receptions for a 64-yard touchdown, which was actually a clear-out route where he wasn't the primary read. The source says Wicks is a good deep threat but will be extremely frustrating to roster on a weekly basis.
