Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Malik Washington

Tuesday, December 2, 2:29 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is fresh off a Thanksgiving game in Week 13, where he was the WR3 for fantasy. Wicks put up his best game of the season, notching 94 yards on six receptions while bringing in two touchdowns in their win over the Lions. The Packers' pass-catching carousel seems to turn and turn, featuring different wide receivers heading up their production throughout the season. While Wicks has been on the field much more in recent weeks, a logjam is coming soon. Jayden Reed is poised to return to the Packers' lineup soon, as is Matthew Golden. Christian Watson has been excellent over the past several weeks, and Romeo Doubs remains a constant as well. Unfortunately, Wicks' Week 13 performance is likely the exception rather than the rule. Those in deep fantasy leagues may find Wicks useful as a flex option in the Packers' Week 14 game against Chicago, but typical 12-team formats may have more consistent fantasy options than Wicks this week.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has moved into the No. 2 role in the offense, but he hasn't exactly been impressive. His best performance came when he hauled in four receptions for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. Since then, Washington has only found the end zone once in four games. The 24-year-old has also been held to under 40 receiving yards in every game besides two this season. Washington does enough on the field to offer low-end flex value, but he clearly isn't going to give fantasy managers more than that right now. He's someone who can be avoided in most 12-team redraft formats. However, Washington could give deep-league fantasy managers low-end flex value against a suspect New York Jets secondary in Week 14.
