Can Dontayvion Wicks Stand Out in Another Crowded Offense?
Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks became part of the team's new-look offense when Philadelphia sent two Day 3 picks to Green Bay to acquire him in April. The trade occurred shortly after the Eagles signed receiver Hollywood Brown to a one-year deal, and before spending first and second-round picks on Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the assumption that three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown will be dealt on or after June 1st, Wicks could soon be the closest piece the Eagles have left to a prototypical X-receiver. Others on the roster have spent more time on the boundary, but few have the size or strength to consistently face press coverage. Wicks has seen his downfield usage rise over the past two seasons with the Packers, though with it, his efficiency has dropped precipitously from the 2.04 yards per route run that put him on fantasy maps as a rookie. He has yet to top his 580 receiving yards of that 2023 season, but in moving from one crowded, run-heavy offense to another, he at least now stands out physically from the rest of the room at 6'1" and 206 pounds. While it's unlikely the soon-to-be-25-year-old Wicks takes a massive step forward for fantasy, he has a chance of being a regular presence in three-receiver sets along with Lemon and DeVonta Smith, and at RotoBaller's dynasty WR103, he's at least worth holding onto until a new pecking order is established in Philadelphia.
