Dontayvion Wicks Ruled Out For Week 8

Friday, October 24, 4:25 PM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 8's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to the team. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Thursday that Wicks is unlikely to suit up on Sunday night and has now been officially listed as out. The 24-year-old has mostly served as a depth option in Green Bay's passing attack, recording only 13 receptions for 134 yards with no touchdowns on 20 targets this season. It does look like fellow wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) is trending in the right direction to make his season debut in Week 8, but rookie Matthew Golden (hip) popped up on the injury report Friday and is now questionable.

Troy Franklin Getting More Involved

Monday, October 27, 9:26 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is beginning to build more chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix. Over the last two games, Franklin has seen 18 targets and hauled in nine receptions for 100-plus yards with three touchdowns. The 22-year-old posted a few decent games early in the season, but has really come alive as of late. The two-score effort on Sunday will make Franklin the top waiver priority in plenty of fantasy formats. The six-catch contest in Week 8 was the most for Franklin since Week 2. He has shown an ability to make plays and figures to be a viable flex option going forward.
