Dontayvion Wicks Questionable to Return Against Arizona

Sunday, October 19, 6:50 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He is officially listed as questionable to return. The 24-year-old had two targets, one reception, and five yards at the time of his departure. The injury bug continues to be a factor for Wicks, who came into this week listed as questionable with an ankle injury. His absence will allow Malik Heath and Savion Williams to earn more snaps alongside Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs.

Luther Burden III Still Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Week 7 Matchup

Saturday, October 18, 12:17 PM

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III continues to struggle to carve out a consistent role in the offense through five games. Burden has just 11 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown, ranking sixth on the team in targets. Despite preseason buzz and speculation that his role would expand after the Week 5 bye, Burden played only 22% of the snaps in Week 6, while Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus each logged over 85%. He'll face a Saints secondary that's allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Although the matchup is favorable, Burden's limited playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in Week 7.
