Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Malik Washington

Friday, January 9, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Saturday night's NFC Wild-Card matchup against the divisional-rival Chicago Bears, according to the team. Wicks suffered a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and will now miss a second straight game. Other than a six-catch, 94-yard, two-touchdown breakout in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions, the 24-year-old Wicks did very little for fantasy managers in 2025 in his third year in the league. Wicks found the end zone nine times combined his first two years in the league, but he had just two touchdowns this year while catching a career-low 30 passes for 332 yards. It remains to be seen if he'll clear the league's concussion protocol to play in the Divisional Round next week if Green Bay beats the Bears.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington (thumb) exited during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New England Patriots. He appeared to suffer the injury on a punt return and is officially listed as questionable. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for a two-yard touchdown, and he also had two punt return yards. Washington entered this week as Miami's No. 1 receiver with Jaylen Waddle (ribs) inactive, Tyreek Hill (knee) on injured reserve, and Darren Waller (groin) on injured reserve. Now, with Washington sidelined, Miami will turn to Cedrick Wilson Jr. and Theo Wease Jr. as its top wide receivers.
