Who Should I Start? Dontayvion Wicks or Tory Horton

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.

The Seattle Seahawks have placed wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) on injured reserve before Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Horton will now be sidelined for a minimum of four games with a shin injury. The 22-year-old rookie has been held out of the previous two games due to this shin injury before landing on injured reserve. The former Colorado State standout has shown flashes in the first half of his rookie season. We last saw Horton reeling in four catches for 48 yards with two touchdowns in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. The earliest Horton could return this season is Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers with an IR spot can hang onto him in deep leagues.
