Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play on Wild-Card weekend against the division-rival Chicago Bears on Saturday night, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Wicks suffered a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not suit up for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings. The 24-year-old still needs final clearance from an independent neurologist to play on Saturday. Already a low-floor flex option for fantasy managers, Wicks is even more risky heading into Wild-Card weekend. He was targeted 46 times during the regular season, catching 30 passes for 332 yards and only two touchdowns. If Wicks is out, both Romeo Doubs and rookie Matthew Golden will see the field more behind Christian Watson and Jayden Reed.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) continued to be limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Packers.com. Wicks suffered a concussion in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens, didn't practice at all last week, and was inactive for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings. The good news is that the 24-year-old has advanced through the league's concussion protocol, but he still has more boxes to check to be cleared to play on Saturday night against the division-rival Chicago Bears on Wild-Card weekend. How much he's able to do in practice on Thursday could determine Wicks' status for Saturday's playoff game. Wicks has been a boom/bust fantasy wideout all season long, with one really true boom performance in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Lions, when he caught six passes for 94 yards and his only two TDs of the year. If he's active against Chicago, fantasy managers should focus on more reliable options.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) was listed as a limited participant for Tuesday's practice session, according to NFL.com's Jason B. Hirschhorn. Wicks suffered a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was held out of the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The fact that the 24-year-old is practicing at all is a good sign, and he could be on pace to clear the league's concussion protocol by later this week and be active for the Wild-Card playoff tilt against the division-rival Chicago Bears on Saturday evening. If Wicks plays this weekend, he'll be a volatile and risky WR4/flex play for those in playoff fantasy leagues. Wicks only caught a career-low 30 passes for 332 yards and two scores on 46 targets in 14 regular-season games. The vast majority of his fantasy production came on Thanksgiving against the Lions, when he went for 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns on six receptions.
Jan 6, 2026 6:31 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He had been listed as doubtful after missing all three practices this past week. The 24-year-old has occupied an inconsistent role this season, and his usage has been dwindling with just four catches over his last four games. Wicks is the only wide receiver inactive for Green Bay, but we wouldn't be surprised if Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs handle a reduced workload now that the Packers have locked up the No. 7 seed. Matthew Golden could earn more targets in the Packers' offense, led by quarterback Clayton Tune.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) did not practice all week and is doubtful to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Wicks suffered a concussion in last Saturday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and now he'll sit out the season finale after not being cleared from the league's concussion protocol. The 24-year-old will be trying to return to practice so that he'll have a chance to suit up for the wild-card round of the playoffs next week. Wicks will miss his third game of the season in Week 18 and will finish with a career-low 30 catches (46 targets) for 332 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games in 2025. He had nine touchdown catches in his first two years in the league, but a crowded WR corps made it difficult for Wicks to stand out in 2025.
Jan 2, 2026 7:44 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Wicks suffered a concussion in the second quarter during last Saturday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game. The 24-year-old is trending towards missing his third game of the season after opening this week with a DNP. He's had a relatively quiet season in a crowded Packers wide receiver room, catching 30 of his 46 targets for 332 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games. Both of his scores came on Thanksgiving Day against the Detroit Lions, when he recorded a season high of six receptions for 94 yards. The third-year wideout has been below 50 receiving yards in every other game this season. If Wicks is ruled out for the regular-season finale versus the Minnesota Vikings, rookie Matthew Golden and Bo Melton should see more opportunities.
Dec 31, 2025 5:00 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Wicks was forced to exit near the end of the second quarter with concussion symptoms. The staff has evaluated Wicks and ruled him out for the second half of this contest. Wicks hauled in his lone target for seven yards before being forced to exit. His absence should mean expanded roles for Bo Melton and Matthew Golden. It's unclear if Wicks will be available for Week 18, but regardless, he hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this season.
Dec 27, 2025 9:54 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) is currently questionable to return for Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Wicks was forced to exit the game just before halftime and will undergo a concussion evaluation. Before leaving, Wicks hauled in his lone target for seven yards. His absence would likely mean expanded roles for Matthew Golden and Bo Melton. When healthy, Wicks hasn't been much of a factor anyway, with three receptions over his last three games heading into Saturday's contest. Fantasy managers should check back for another update after halftime.
Dec 27, 2025 9:38 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are active for Saturday's Week 16 contest against the Chicago Bears. Both players had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Watson has emerged as the Packers' No. 1 receiver with 28 catches, 481 yards, and five touchdowns through eight games. Since making his season debut in Week 8, he ranks as the overall WR9 in full-PPR leagues. He continues to operate as a high-end WR2 in fantasy football. Meanwhile, Wicks has been productive in a depth role, catching 27 passes for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns across a dozen contests. His presence on Saturday is key for the Packers, but he doesn't offer much value in fantasy football. Wicks can be benched or dropped to waivers in most redraft leagues.
Dec 20, 2025 7:15 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was a non-participant during Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Wicks was on the injury report last week with a lingering ankle issue. He ended up playing on Sunday but was ineffective with one catch for six yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. Wicks has been a non-factor since his two-touchdown performance against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. The 24-year-old could see an increased role in Week 16 with Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) banged up to begin the week. The absence of both wideouts could mean bigger roles for Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, and rookie Matthew Golden. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the Packers' injury report throughout the week ahead of the Week 16 rematch against the Chicago Bears on Saturday.
Dec 16, 2025 7:14 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Wicks was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. He should be back in the mix this Sunday, but he won't draw an easy matchup. The Broncos have allowed the second-fewest yards per target to wide receivers this season. The Packers also have a ton of mouths to feed at the receiver position with Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and rookie Matthew Golden all healthy heading into this game. Wicks had an epic two-touchdown game during the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions. That performance put him on the fantasy radar, but he has quickly fallen off as the Packers get healthy. Fantasy managers can leave Wicks on the bench in Week 15 after he wasn't targeted at all last week in the win over the Bears.
Dec 12, 2025 9:17 PM EST
ESPN's Rob Demovsky says that both Green Bay Packers wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Matthew Golden (wrist) were limited due to their injuries in the Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears, allowing Bo Melton to move into the No. 4 receiver spot. Melton caught a big 45-yard touchdown pass on his only reception of the day. Wicks only played 11% of the offensive snaps on Sunday, with Golden playing 9% of the snaps. Wicks wasn't targeted at all, while Golden was unable to secure his lone target on the day at Lambeau Field. Both Wicks and Golden figure to be on the field more if they can put their respective injuries behind them, but Green Bay's receiving corps is now as healthy as it has been all year with the return of Jayden Reed. Wicks' six-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown performance on Thanksgiving will most likely end up being an outlier performance in 2025.
Dec 8, 2025 12:44 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is off the injury report with three limited practices and looks to keep his run going after his best game of the season in Week 13 as the Packers host the Chicago Bears. Wicks is fresh off his Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, where he was the overall WR3 for fantasy, notching 94 yards on six receptions while bringing in two touchdowns. While Wicks has been on the field much more in recent weeks, with at least 69% routes per dropback in the past three weeks, he's a bit behind in the pecking order for Green Bay's offensive production. Those in deep fantasy leagues may find Wicks useful as a flex option in the Packers' Week 14 game against Chicago, but typical 12-team formats may have more consistent fantasy options than Wicks this week.
Dec 5, 2025 4:27 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. He has now been limited on back-to-back days. The 24-year-old is coming off a breakout game on Thanksgiving in which he caught six of seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns. Wicks isn't alone on the injury report, as fellow wide receivers Matthew Golden (wrist), Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder), and Savion Williams (foot) are all banged-up, too. He can be benched in leagues with 14 or fewer teams ahead of Week 14 against the Chicago Bears, despite Chicago allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025.
Dec 4, 2025 11:27 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) had by far his best game of the season in last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions, catching six of his seven targets for a season-high 94 yards and his first two touchdowns of the year. The 24-year-old injured his calf in Week 7 and missed Weeks 8 and 9. He's now listed on Green Bay's Week 14 injury report with an ankle injury, and he was limited in Wednesday's practice. It's something to keep an eye on for fantasy managers who are considering streaming Wicks as a WR4/flex against a Bears defense that has allowed the eighth-most half-PPR points to opposing WRs. Wicks will be very boom/bust as he looks for a second straight big game. Keep in mind that Wicks had not gone over 44 receiving yards in a game this year before his outburst last Thursday. Additionally, both Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) and rookie Matthew Golden (wrist) may be active in Week 14, which would mean more competition for targets for Wicks.
Dec 4, 2025 12:54 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was a limited participant in practice during Wednesday's session. Wicks appears to have suffered a minor ankle injury during his epic Thanksgiving Day performance. He hauled in six of his seven targets for 94 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Detroit Lions. Wicks has been basically a non-factor all season long outside his big performance last week. Especially with Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) getting close to returning from Injured Reserve, Wicks' Week 13 performance could very well end up being an outlier in 2025. Rookie Matthew Golden (wrist) returning will also negatively impact Wicks' target share down the stretch. Despite last week's standout performance, Wicks should be considered a boom/bust WR4/flex for fantasy managers.
Dec 3, 2025 9:51 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is fresh off a Thanksgiving game in Week 13, where he was the WR3 for fantasy. Wicks put up his best game of the season, notching 94 yards on six receptions while bringing in two touchdowns in their win over the Lions. The Packers' pass-catching carousel seems to turn and turn, featuring different wide receivers heading up their production throughout the season. While Wicks has been on the field much more in recent weeks, a logjam is coming soon. Jayden Reed is poised to return to the Packers' lineup soon, as is Matthew Golden. Christian Watson has been excellent over the past several weeks, and Romeo Doubs remains a constant as well. Unfortunately, Wicks' Week 13 performance is likely the exception rather than the rule. Those in deep fantasy leagues may find Wicks useful as a flex option in the Packers' Week 14 game against Chicago, but typical 12-team formats may have more consistent fantasy options than Wicks this week.
Dec 2, 2025 2:29 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks posted his best game of the season against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, recording six catches for 94 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets. Wicks scored for the first time in 10 games this season, and more than doubled his previous season high of 44 receiving yards, which came back in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. The six receptions also matched a career high for the 24-year-old wideout and played a key role in Green Bay pulling out the win. After having major drop issues last season, Wicks has only dropped one pass on 41 targets this season and came down with multiple tough catches against the Lions, including a crucial contested 16-yard snag on fourth down to seal the victory with less than two minutes left in the game. Wicks is emerging as a reliable target for quarterback Jordan Love and could continue to see more opportunities moving forward.
Nov 28, 2025 12:27 AM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) continues to be limited at practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday due to an ongoing calf issue, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Wicks has been on the team's injury report for the last three weeks with a calf injury, but he has managed to play through it. The 24-year-old should be out there again this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day against the division-rival Detroit Lions, but he's purely a deep-league dart throw, at best. That will be especially true if both Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) and rookie Matthew Golden (wrist) return from their injuries this week. Wicks scored nine times in his first two years in the NFL with Green Bay, but he's still searching for his first touchdown through 12 weeks of the 2025 season. He has 20 catches for 213 yards on 34 targets in nine games.
Nov 25, 2025 6:19 PM EST
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The 24-year-old should occupy a larger role with rookie receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) ruled out for this divisional battle. Wicks has 18 catches for 181 yards through eight games this season. However, he has come on particularly strong in his last two contests, tallying 10 targets and five receptions during that span. Still, he's off the fantasy radar for now, ranking as the overall WR73 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
