Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks is buried behind Watson, Reed, Doubs, and Golden in a crowded WR room. Despite available playing time, he finished with only 30 catches (332 yards, 2 TDs) on 46 targets—third on team even when others were healthy.

Wicks suffered a concussion in Week 17 against Baltimore and missed the playoff game after failing to pass NFL concussion protocol. Multiple injuries throughout 2025 (calf strain, ankle sprain) limited his availability and effectiveness.

Multiple sources suggest the Packers will likely move on from Wicks post-2026 due to his low $1.15M contract and team preference for younger draft picks with longer rookie deals. One analyst stated the Packers likely only keep one between Wicks and Reed after 2026, with Reed being the clear preference.

His dynasty value is entirely binary: if A.J. Brown remains in Philadelphia, Wicks is irrelevant depth; only a Brown trade or release unlocks a meaningful WR2 role and corresponding value jump.

Eagles used the No. 20 overall pick on Biletnikoff Award winner Makai Lemon (USC), who profiles as the WR2 alongside DeVonta Smith and directly caps Wicks' ceiling at WR3 at best in Philadelphia's hierarchy.

If the Packers move on from any current depth chart players or experience injuries to top options, Wicks could see expanded target share as the primary backup option.

Romeo Doubs is expected to leave in free agency, likely opening ~85 targets from the roster. Doubs' departure would elevate everyone on the depth chart and create a significant volume opportunity for Wicks.

Multiple reports indicate A.J. Brown's future in Philadelphia is uncertain; if Brown is traded or released, Wicks immediately becomes the Eagles WR2 alongside DeVonta Smith in a Jalen Hurts-led offense that ranks among the NFL's best.

AJ Brown's trade to New England is now essentially confirmed post-June 1, unlocking a significant chunk of the Eagles' target share — the primary upside catalyst from the prior analysis is now nearly realized.

Moving from Jordan Love in Green Bay to Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia is a substantial dynasty upgrade; even a WR3 role in Philly's pass-heavy offense is worth more than Wicks' Packers floor.

Romeo Doubs is expected to leave in free agency (projected $12M/year contract), which would open ~85 targets and elevate everyone on the depth chart. Recent reports indicate the Packers are open to re-signing Doubs but may let him walk to gain a compensatory pick.
