Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Isaiah Bond

Thursday, November 6, 12:38 PM

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) will be limited in Thursday's practice, according to Weston Hodkiewicz of Packers.com. Wicks injured his calf in the Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals and hasn't practiced or played since, so the fact that he's back on the field on Thursday is a sign that he'll have a chance to return for the Monday night showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. The Packers lost tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) for the season in their Week 9 upset loss to the Carolina Panthers, so there will be more targets to go around in Green Bay's passing game moving forward. However, the 24-year-old Wicks will still be a boom/bust fantasy option with limited volume if he's able to return this week. Despite injuries to Jayden Reed (collarbone) and Christian Watson, Wicks has only 13 catches for 134 yards and no touchdowns in his six games in 2025.

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards on three catches in Week 4, Bond has made only four catches over his past four games and has been blanked from the stat sheet in the last two. Anyone still holding onto him in redraft leagues can drop him without reservation, and a similar move needs to be at least considered in dynasty leagues, depending on available options on waivers.
