Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Dareke Young

Friday, November 28, 12:27 AM

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.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Dareke Young caught three of his four targets for a team-high 44 receiving yards in Saturday's 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The 2022 draftee's catch and target totals also tied for most on the team. He was also involved in Seattle's longest play of the game. Tucked in close to the Seahawks' line, Young was marked only by a linebacker who he easily outran while crossing over the middle. Once open, Sam Howell fired a dart to Young for a gain of 26 yards. Young showed good hands in the game but he is not a viable fantasy option.
