Dontayvion Wicks Makes Play of the Day, Emerging as No. 2 WR

Thursday, July 30, 8:51 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks made the play of the day in training camp practice on Thursday and is quickly emerging as the team's No. 2 wideout behind DeVonta Smith now that A.J. Brown is gone, according to Jeff Neiburg of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Quarterback Jalen Hurts made an impressive throw across his body deep down the field to Wicks, who jumped over defensive backs Cole Wisniewski and Jakorian Bennett to make the 40-plus-yard catch. Wicks is among the early camp risers in terms of fantasy football stock after the Eagles acquired him from the Green Bay Packers in the offseason. The 25-year-old former fifth-rounder from Virginia never had more than 581 receiving yards or 39 receptions in his three years in Green Bay, although he has averaged 12.3 yards per catch and had nine total touchdowns in his first two seasons in the NFL. Wicks was also always part of a jumbled WR room with the Packers. In Philly, it appears he could be locked into the WR2 role, which would afford him a much better target rate while seeing the field more often in a new offense that is looking to rebound in a major way. Wicks is shaping up as an interesting late-round fantasy sleeper at WR in 2026.

Tory Horton Healthy After Cracking Tibia as a Rookie

Saturday, August 1, 6:03 AM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton avoided the PUP list to begin training camp and has participated fully through the opening practices of summer after his rookie season was cut short by a cracked tibia. Horton spoke with a group of reporters on Friday, and ESPN's Brady Henderson wrote about the road to recovery that has brought him to this point without restriction. Horton told the assembled media, "It's a blessing to be back on the field... Just trying to take in every moment because just like last year, you never know when it could be cut short." Horton began experiencing lower leg discomfort around Week 3 of his rookie season, but continued to play through the pain until further testing revealed a crack in his tibia that landed him on injured reserve. With the Seahawks adding Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline and signing him to a three-year deal this offseason, the team has the ability to flood the field with overwhelming speed to complement Offensive Player of the Year Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and a healthy Horton will look to find more consistent production after scoring five touchdowns across his four most productive games in 2025, while being held to a single 10-yard reception across four others.
