Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Wicks is unlikely to suit up on Sunday night and has now been officially listed as out. The 24-year-old has mostly served as a depth option in Green Bay's passing attack, recording only 13 receptions for 134 yards with no touchdowns on 20 targets this season. It does look like fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 8, but rookie Matthew Golden (hip) popped up on the injury report Friday and is now questionable.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is unlikely to play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Wicks injured his calf in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals and wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old probably won't practice on Thursday, either, but he hasn't officially been ruled out for the weekend just yet. The 24-year-old hasn't been much of a factor in Green Bay's offense through seven weeks, even with Jayden Reed (collarbone) on Injured Reserve. The former fifth-rounder has a total of only 13 receptions for 134 yards and no touchdowns on 20 targets. The good news for Green Bay is that receiver Christian Watson (knee) appears to be trending towards being activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list to make his 2025 debut on Sunday night.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) was not seen participating in the first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Wicks still has two more days to try to get back on the practice field, but he's off to a bad start after injuring his calf in Sunday's 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The good news for the Packers is that if the 24-year-old is unable to go in Week 8 on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they could be getting Christian Watson (knee) back from the Physically Unable to Perform list for his 2025 debut. Romeo Doubs has been Green Bay's WR1 with Jayden Reed (collarbone) on Injured Reserve, and rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden has seen more involvement as well in recent weeks. Wicks has been off the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues with 13 catches for 134 yards and no scores on 20 targets through six games in 2025.
Oct 22, 2025 3:49 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He is officially listed as questionable to return. The 24-year-old had two targets, one reception, and five yards at the time of his departure. The injury bug continues to be a factor for Wicks, who came into this week listed as questionable with an ankle injury. His absence will allow Malik Heath and Savion Williams to earn more snaps alongside Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs.
Oct 19, 2025 6:50 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Wicks has mostly filled a depth role behind Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs this season, catching just 12 passes for 129 yards and zero touchdowns. He's off the fantasy radar despite a favorable matchup against Arizona.
Oct 19, 2025 4:20 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Wicks should be cleared to play in the desert on Sunday, but he should remain out of starting fantasy lineups, as the fourth option, at best, in the passing attack behind Romeo Doubs, rookie Matthew Golden, and tight end Tucker Kraft. The 24-year-old is going to fall even further down the pecking order in Green Bay's WR room when Christian Watson (knee) likely makes his season debut in Week 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wicks has had exactly two catches in four of his five games this season. His best game came in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, when he caught four of his six targets for 44 yards. Wicks has been a limited contributor for the Packers, with 12 receptions on 18 targets for 129 yards and no scores through five games this year.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday after exiting Week 6 early. The 24-year-old has recorded 12 receptions for 129 yards this season and could be in line for more work if healthy heading into Sunday's matchup with Arizona. However, Wicks may face added competition for targets following Matthew Golden's breakout performance last week. The Packers' passing game draws a favorable matchup against a Cardinals defense ranked 28th against the pass, giving Wicks some deep-league streaming appeal if he's active. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his practice participation as the week progresses.
Oct 15, 2025 2:59 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is currently considered questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Wicks made an early exit in the third quarter due to an ankle issue. Prior to exiting, Wicks hauled in both of his targets for 15 yards. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Packers play it safe and hold Wicks out for the rest of this game. In his absence, Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath will be asked to pick up the slack on offense.
Oct 12, 2025 6:43 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has a strong on-field role with the Packers, but he's a risky start this week despite a great matchup at home in Lambeau Field against the Cincinnati Bengals. In Week 4, Wicks ran a season-high 79 percent of routes per dropback and earned 77 percent of the team's snaps in Green Bay's 40-40 tie with the Dallas Cowboys. However, that didn't amount to much production as Wicks was targeted just four times and caught two passes for 19 yards on the evening. While we'd love for Wicks to be more involved on the production side of things, the lack of concentration in the Packers' passing game doesn't help the secondary pass-catchers get consistent volume. Leave Wicks either on your bench or on waivers when the Packers play the Bengals in Week 6.
Oct 10, 2025 4:22 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has struggled to provide consistent fantasy production so far in 2025, recording 10 catches for 114 yards on 16 targets across four games played. He appeared to have an opportunity to make his mark in Green Bay when wideout Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) went on Injured Reserve following Week 2, but Wicks failed to leapfrog Packers wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Matthew Golden on the depth chart. Wicks may get pushed even further down the playing time pecking order by the return of Christian Watson (knee), who could be activated off of Injured Reserve as soon as Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals. If Watson remains sidelined in Week 6, Wicks could be a desperation flex option in deep leagues. However, once Watson returns and is fully re-integrated into the Packers offense, Wicks will likely be nearly impossible for fantasy managers to trust.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks could be the beneficiary of a great matchup when the Packers travel down to AT&T Stadium as Green Bay squares off with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Wicks saw his routes increase with Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) out of the lineup. Seeing just four targets and catching just two balls for 21 yards out of the slot for the Packers, Wicks had a tough matchup like everybody else did against the Browns in Week 3. For Week 4, that matchup becomes a lot easier as the Dallas Cowboys represent one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Because the Packers are so spread out on offense and the pass volume is limited, Wicks is merely a low-end flex play in Week 4 despite the great matchup on deck.
Sep 26, 2025 5:11 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks looks to take advantage of ample opportunity with some missing pass-catchers as the Packers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns in Week 3. Wicks took a backseat to fellow wide receivers Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden in the receiving pecking order through two games, but with the injury to Jayden Reed (clavicle) and now tight end Tucker Kraft (knee), Wicks could get a lot more opportunity in Week 3 to be the top target-earner in Green Bay. People forget that Wicks led the Packers in targets (76) last season, and with Reed out for several weeks, Wicks will be the primary slot receiver and may still rotate in on the outside for Green Bay. Wicks now has fantasy value entering Week 3, and when setting your flex, Wicks has a ton of upside this week.
Sep 19, 2025 5:36 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Matthew Golden (ankle) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were both listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. The Packers did not actually practice as they head into a short week this Thursday night to kick off Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Wicks was also on the Week 1 injury report but ended up playing in the Week 1 win over the Lions, catching both of his targets for 30 yards. Golden will join the injury report for the first time in 2025, but the 22-year-old first-rounder should play on Thursday night. In his NFL debut, he was quiet, going for two catches for 16 yards while playing just under 50 percent of the offensive snaps. If Golden is active on Thursday, he will be the more attractive WR4/flex upside play over Wicks against Washington.
Sep 8, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) were both limited in practice all week and are listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report for Sunday's Week 1 season opener against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Jayden Reed (foot) is also questionable while dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot, so Green Bay's receiving corps is quite beat up heading into Week 1. Wicks and Williams appear to have a better shot at suiting up this weekend against the Lions than Reed, but even if they are active on game day and Reed isn't, Wicks would be the No. 3 wideout behind rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs. At best, the 24-year-old Wicks will be a WR5/flex option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in Week 1, but only if Reed is ruled out.
Sep 5, 2025 5:31 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Savion Williams (hamstring) were both listed as limited practice participants on the team's first injury report of the year. Meanwhile, Jayden Reed, who is dealing with a Jones fracture in his foot, was a DNP. Wicks injured his calf in late July and missed most of training camp and all of the preseason. However, the 24-year-old returned to the field last week and has a good shot of suiting up in Week 1 against the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday, as does Williams. Even if Reed is unable to play this weekend, Wicks would likely be the fourth-best target for quarterback Jordan Love behind rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and tight end Tucker Kraft, making him avoidable in starting fantasy lineups. Wicks is only rostered in 1% of Yahoo leagues.
Sep 3, 2025 6:16 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Wicks missed a good chunk of August with a calf injury, but it appears he has a chance to be ready for Week 1. The third-year wide receiver could slot in alongside Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs as Green Bay's WR3 early in the season, with Jayden Reed (foot) questionable for Week 1 with a foot injury. Wicks is a talented player, but he struggled with drops and inconsistency in 2024, hauling in just 39 of his 76 targets. Wicks has some upside as a late-round dart-throw in deep leagues, but he would likely need multiple injuries in the Packers' wide receiver room to really take off in 2025.
Aug 27, 2025 10:35 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) will not practice this week, according to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Wicks has been out of action for several weeks already with a calf injury, so at this point it's fair to question his availability for the start of the regular season. The Packers' wide receiver room has dealt with myriad injuries in addition to Wicks during training camp, including Jayden Reed (foot) and Savion Williams (concussion). The team finally got some good news when Romeo Doubs (back) returned to practice on Monday. With the injury uncertainty behind them on the depth chart, Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden could both be in line for significant target shares early in the regular season.
Aug 19, 2025 11:32 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) was not able to participate during Saturday's practice. It's worth noting that Wicks missed practice time earlier in the week due to a calf issue. It's unclear if Saturday's absence was a planned rest day or if Wicks couldn't participate due to the injury. The absence of Wicks meant more snaps for Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, and Malik Heath. Last season, Wicks saw a career-high 76 targets, but finished with 39 receptions for 415 receiving yards with five touchdowns in 17 games. The addition of Golden is going to make it more difficult for Wicks to see consistent snaps in Green Bay. Right now, the focus is getting Wicks back on the field, so fantasy managers should check back later on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) took part in the early portion of practice on Friday at training camp, per The Athletic's Matt Schneidman. Fellow wideout Jayden Reed (toe), who was hurt in Thursday's practice, also returned with Wicks on Friday. Wicks, 24, is competing for a role in Green Bay's passing attack in a receiver room that is pretty crowded now, even with Christian Watson (knee) recovering from a torn ACL. The former fifth-rounder in 2023 out of Virginia took a step back in his second season in 2024 with 39 receptions on 76 targets for 415 yards and five touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (five starts). He does have nine touchdowns in his first two seasons, but he disappointed in 2024 when both Watson and Romeo Doubs missed time with injuries. At best, he could be the team's No. 4 wideout behind Reed, Doubs and rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden.
