Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Struggles with six targets
Dontayvion Wicks recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles.Wicks was thrust into an expanded role with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined and both Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) suffering injuries during the game. He saw a team-high six targets as a result, though he struggled to convert that into production. The exception came on a long 29-yard reception midway through the third quarter, which helped set up a field goal as the Green Bay Packers attempted to rally. Wicks will be back with the team for his third pro season in 2025, and he could see an expanded role early in the campaign depending on Watson's recovery.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Five catches as Watson goes down
Dontayvion Wicks caught five of six targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.Wicks led the Green Bay Packers in catches while finishing four receiving yards shy of Malik Heath's team-leading total in the regular-season finale. Both depth wideouts could maintain elevated roles on the road against the Eagles in the wild-card round, as fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) exited Sunday's loss due to a non-contact injury and Romeo Doubs (illness) didn't dress. Wicks caught 39 of 76 targets for 415 yards and five touchdowns in an up-and-down regular season.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Four grabs against Vikings
Dontayvion Wicks caught four of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.Wicks finished second in playing time among Green Bay Packers wideouts, handling a 73 percent offensive snap share in the contest. The 23-year-old's five targets were also second-most among Green Bay pass catchers, trailing only Romeo Doubs (11). With teammate Christian Watson (knee) inactive for the game, Wicks saw a more prominent role than usual, but if Watson can play Week 18 against the Bears, Wicks would likely be headed for a downturn in his snap count.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Clicks in Week 16
Dontayvion Wicks was targeted seven times and had three receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints.Wicks didn't add much production after finding the end zone on Green Bay's opening drive, but that was his first touchdown since Week 7. Wicks has gotten more involved after a quiet midseason stretch, and he could be busier than he has been in Week 17 if fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) is unable to go.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Two catches against Seattle
Dontayvion Wicks caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks.Wicks had a quiet day in Week 15, recording his lowest yardage total in the past four games. The 23-year-old wideout played 30 of the Green Bay Packers' 64 offensives snaps, behind Christian Watson (50), Romeo Doubs (48) and Jayden Reed (38). As long as the trio of top receivers remains healthy down the stretch, Wicks will continue to see an uphill battle for consistent playing time. The Virginia product will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Packers host the Saints in Week 16.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Four catches in division loss
Dontayvion Wicks secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Green Bay Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.Wicks tied Tucker Kraft for second in targets and Christian Watson for the team lead in receptions, although he was a distant second to the latter in receiving yards. Nevertheless, it was notable that Wicks logged four more targets than No. 1 receiver Jayden Reed, who went without a catch. Wicks has back-to-back four-reception outings heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night, Dec. 15, but he could be looking at a reduced role if Romeo Doubs (concussion) returns for that game.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Logs season-high snap share Week 13
Dontayvion Wicks recorded four catches on five targets for 30 yards Thursday in a 30-17 victory versus the Dolphins.Romeo Doubs (concussion) missed the Thanksgiving Day game, making room for more opportunity for Wicks. The latter was on the field for 89 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps after not playing more than 40 percent of the team's offensive snaps over the previous two weeks. Wicks' production remained modest, however, and if Doubs is able to return to action next Thursday against Detroit, Wicks may again spend more time on the sideline than on the field.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Back in box score
Dontayvion Wicks was targeted twice and had one reception for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers.Wicks was shut out in back-to-back appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, but he got back on the board with a long reception in the fourth quarter of the game. Opportunities have been lacking for Wicks, who has just three 20-yard receptions in 2024 after racking up 11 of those across 15 regular-season games in 2023. He could see a boost in targets in Week 13 if Romeo Doubs (concussion) is unable to play, but he will enter with just three receptions for 36 yards across his last four appearances, and he will take on a Miami defense that has shut down wideouts as well as anyone.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Shut out once more
Dontayvion Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears.Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.

Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Finishes without reception
Dontayvion Wicks was targeted three times and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions.Wicks would have had a better day had he hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he was shut out in the receptions department for the third time in nine games. Wicks has found pay dirt four times this season, but he has totaled just 16 catches, and all of Green Bay's receivers are healthy, so it could be worth making a roster move with the Green Bay Packers on bye Week 10.
