Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Tory Horton

Friday, October 31, 7:00 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Wicks missed every day of practice this week and hasn't practiced since injuring his calf in Green Bay's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old has held a reduced role in a crowded Packers pass-catching group this season, catching 13 of his 20 targets for 134 yards and no touchdowns in six games. It got even more crowded last week with Christian Watson making his season debut, and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is also reportedly getting closer to a return to practice.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tory Horton has been a touchdown machine in his rookie season, scoring five touchdowns on just 13 receptions. He posted a career day in Week 9 with four catches for 48 yards and two scores while logging a season-high 73% snap share. However, Seattle's trade for Rashid Shaheed may limit Horton's fantasy trajectory. Shaheed recorded 44 receptions in nine games with the Saints this season and is expected to slide in as the No. 2 option alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With Shaheed likely to command consistent snaps and targets, Horton becomes a far more volatile play. He should be viewed as a stash-only option in deeper leagues, not a weekly fantasy starter.
