Dontayvion Wicks News
Sunday, June 14, 5:50 AM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has yet to top the 39 catches or 580 receiving yards of his 2023 rookie season, but in his first season with the Eagles, he could find himself in a new role with the potential for some spike performances. While nobody will soon mistake him for the 226-pound A.J. Brown, in a receiving quartet with DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon, and Marquise Brown, Wicks is the only one to top 6'0" and 200 pounds and is the most likely candidate to inherit Brown's outside X-role. While Wicks has never taken more than 63% of his snaps on the boundary, a number closer to 90% for Brown last year, the former Packer was a player specifically targeted by the Eagles as trade talks around their own three-time Pro Bowler were heating up. Smith and Lemon are likely to have the more fantasy-friendly roles, but the soon-to-be-25-year-old Wicks is a low-cost dynasty depth piece. At RotoBaller's WR104, his value remains higher in best ball formats, but his multiple injury-related paths to increased opportunity should not be discounted.

Jalen Coker News
Thursday, June 11, 4:23 PM
The Carolina Panthers and wide receiver Jalen Coker agreed to a three-year contract extension on Thursday worth $35 million, with incentives potentially taking the deal up to $41 million, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Coker was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent this year and a restricted free agent next year. The 24-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross has battled injuries in his first two seasons in the NFL, playing in a total of 22 regular-season games (seven starts) while catching 65 passes for 872 yards and five touchdowns on 89 targets. Coker came on strong late last season for the Panthers and has averaged a healthy 13.4 yards per reception since entering the league. Going into Year 3 in 2026, Coker is expected to be Carolina's primary slot receiver as their No. 2 behind second-year wideout Tetairoa McMillan. If Coker can stay healthy all year, he has clear potential to have a breakout campaign and be a solid sleeper for fantasy managers. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 50 fantasy WR going into the 2026 season. Coker isn't a burner by any means, but he's explosive after the catch and has excellent hands.
