Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Roman Wilson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday after exiting Week 6 early. The 24-year-old has recorded 12 receptions for 129 yards this season and could be in line for more work if healthy heading into Sunday's matchup with Arizona. However, Wicks may face added competition for targets following Matthew Golden's breakout performance last week. The Packers' passing game draws a favorable matchup against a Cardinals defense ranked 28th against the pass, giving Wicks some deep-league streaming appeal if he's active. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his practice participation as the week progresses.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.
