Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Dontayvion Wicks

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt is a deep-league lottery ticket who will finally get an opportunity to prove his worth in Week 5 against the Saints. With Malik Nabers out for the year, the third-year speedster will assume the WR3 role, and his familiarity with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart from second-team reps could lead to immediate targets. Despite having zero fantasy points this season, Hyatt's world-class speed makes him an intriguing desperation play against a vulnerable New Orleans secondary. The Saints have been susceptible to big plays, allowing the second-most passing touchdowns in the NFL (9), creating a scenario where Hyatt could finally break loose for a long score.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks could be the beneficiary of a great matchup when the Packers travel down to AT&T Stadium as Green Bay squares off with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Wicks saw his routes increase with Jayden Reed (clavicle, foot) out of the lineup. Seeing just four targets and catching just two balls for 21 yards out of the slot for the Packers, Wicks had a tough matchup like everybody else did against the Browns in Week 3. For Week 4, that matchup becomes a lot easier as the Dallas Cowboys represent one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Because the Packers are so spread out on offense and the pass volume is limited, Wicks is merely a low-end flex play in Week 4 despite the great matchup on deck.
