Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Ja'Lynn Polk

Sunday, December 29, 8:13 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was a contributor to the Packers' effort but came up short as Green Bay lost to the Minnesota Vikings 27-25. Wicks caught 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards, finishing second on the team in targets on the afternoon. The recipient of quarterback Jordan Love's first two completions of the game, Wicks earned just one targets until the Packers' final drive of the game. Taking advantage of Christian Watson (knee) being inactive for the Packers in Week 17, Wicks was solid, but unspectacular. Wicks' fantasy value will be directly tied to Watson's availability in Week 18 when the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18. For fantasy purposes, Wicks would be a dart-throw flex option if Watson doesn't suit up.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk saw the field on Sunday but didn't show up in the box score. During the 28-22 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Polk saw 41% of the offensive snaps but didn't see a single target. This marks his first game with zero targets and his third with zero receptions. He came into his rookie season with some higher expectations but currently sits behind Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, and Kayshon Boutte in terms of priority in the passing game. The Patriots head to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 12.
