Dontayvion Wicks Is a Potential Waiver Wire Pickup

Tuesday, September 8, 6:29 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is a nice addition to the Eagles receiving core coming from the Green Bay Packers and he could challenge for the No. 2 receiver role in Philadelphia. He could also emerge as a popular early-season waiver wire pickup. The Eagles drafted Makai Lemon out of USC but he might fit in more as a slot receiver with Wicks playing on the outside. Last year in Green Bay, Wicks was in a room full of talented receivers, but he did finish the season with 46 targets and 30 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns. Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia wrote that Wicks could expand his role in Philadelphia to more than a role player. He quoted Eagles wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead: "There's nothing that should be holding him back from anything in this league. He can go out here and have as good a year as anybody. Exciting time for him to prove that, 'Hey, I can be more than what I was in Green Bay.'"

Elijah Sarratt Comes Out of Camp Behind the Rookie Curve

Saturday, September 5, 10:35 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Elijah Sarratt had a solid first NFL summer, but another rookie made a much stronger push for immediate work. Sarratt opened the preseason with six catches for 66 yards against Philadelphia, then managed only two catches for four yards over the final two games. Meanwhile, Ja'Kobi Lane kept stacking plays throughout camp and has emerged as Baltimore's No. 3 receiver behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. The current depth chart has Sarratt behind Lane, while Devontez Walker is also expected to have a significant role in the offense. That leaves Sarratt looking at more special-teams work than offensive snaps to begin the year. There is still plenty to like long term about a fourth-round pick who led the nation with 15 receiving touchdowns at Indiana last season, and his strong preseason opener wasn't meaningless. For 2026 redraft purposes, though, Lane's emergence made an already difficult path to targets even tighter. Sarratt is better viewed as a dynasty stash than someone likely to help fantasy managers early.
