Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Andrei Iosivas

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) was limited in practice all week with a calf injury, but he was removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active on Sunday on the road at MetLife Stadium in Week 11 to take on the New York Giants, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Even with injuries plaguing Green Bay's receiving corps throughout the season, Wicks has yet to find the end zone in 2025 in his third year in the league after scoring nine touchdowns in 2023 and 2024 combined. However, he was targeted a season-high eight times in Monday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, with rookie Matthew Golden (hamstring) sidelined and Romeo Doubs (chest) leaving the game due to injury. The 24-year-old caught four of those targets for just 38 yards. Golden could miss another game this weekend, but both Doubs and Christian Watson (hamstring, knee) will play, which will make Wicks a hard sell in fantasy as a flex play, despite the good matchup.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is in line for an expanded role in Week 12. Through 10 games, he's caught 19 of 35 targets for 256 yards and one touchdown, averaging 5.2 PPR points per game. With star receiver Ja'Marr Chase suspended for the week, the Bengals will lean on Tee Higgins, Iosivas, and Mitchell Tinsley to fill the void. Higgins is expected to draw coverage from Patriots shutdown corner Christian Gonzalez, along with safety help, which should leave Iosivas in more favorable matchups. As Cincinnati fights to keep its season alive, Iosivas could become a key piece of the game plan. He profiles as a high-floor fantasy option and a low-end WR3 for Week 12 against New England.
