Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Chimere Dike

Monday, September 8, 6:19 PM

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.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has been performing well and could see more opportunities. On Friday, head coach Brian Callahan said that he has liked what Dike has done and that he's earned more opportunities as a receiver. In the season opener, Dike had a limited role on the offensive side of the ball and was deployed primarily as a special teams player. In the few offensive snaps he saw, Dike saw one target but was unable to connect with it. He also took one carry for nine yards. As a returner, Dike totaled 144 yards on kickoffs and 12 on punts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the former fourth-round pick's development as he could carve out a role in the Tennessee offense that lacks proven playmakers behind veteran Calvin Ridley. For now, he is best left as a stash option in dynasty/keeper formats. If Dike were to begin to emerge as a regular starter in Week 2, he could enter waiver wire territory in deep redraft leagues.
