Dontayvion Wicks News
Sunday, August 23, 7:37 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has been a monster at training camp and in joint practices this season. Wicks was traded from the Green Bay Packers to Philadelphia for a fifth- and sixth-round draft pick, and it appears the Eagles may have a big-time playmaker. During joint practice with the New England Patriots, Wicks continued to beat their defensive backs and make plays. Quarterback Jalen Hurts praised the receiver, saying, "He's got great work ethic. He's got great hunger. He's twitchy. He can attack the ball. He runs great routes. It'll be exciting to see him work this season with the aggression that he has." Wicks was underutilized in Green Bay's crowded receiver room, averaging fewer than four targets per game over three seasons. Currently ranked WR74 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Wicks is a late-round player to watch in fantasy drafts.

Elijah Sarratt News
Tuesday, August 25, 9:14 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Elijah Sarratt still has plenty of bodies ahead of him, but the fourth-round rookie has helped himself this summer. Sarratt caught six of seven targets for 66 yards in the preseason opener against Philadelphia, leading Baltimore in catches and receiving yards before losing a fumble in the second half. The follow-up against Minnesota was much quieter, just one catch for three yards, though he also flashed during the joint practices by shaking a Vikings defender in one-on-ones. Baltimore took Sarratt 115th overall after he scored an FBS-leading 15 receiving touchdowns at Indiana last season. Getting onto the field regularly is the hard part. Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman are locked in as starters, with Devontez Walker and fellow rookie Ja'Kobi Lane currently ahead of Sarratt on the depth chart. RotoBaller has him 308th overall and WR116. That keeps him out of normal redraft plans, but Sarratt has done enough this summer to improve his standing as a deep-league stash.
