Who Should I Start? Josh Downs or Dontayvion Wicks

Friday, November 21, 4:40 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs should be well-rested as he comes out of a Week 11 bye to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 12. Downs has been up and down this season as he is not enjoying the high volume that he has in past seasons. That being said, he scored a touchdown in three straight games in October and early November. The Chiefs have been tough on receivers this season, allowing just the 27th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Downs isn't exactly a safe play but he's worth a look as a flex option/WR5 in deeper leagues, especially if your team is dealing with several players on their bye in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. The 24-year-old should occupy a larger role with rookie receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, wrist) ruled out for this divisional battle. Wicks has 18 catches for 181 yards through eight games this season. However, he has come on particularly strong in his last two contests, tallying 10 targets and five receptions during that span. Still, he's off the fantasy radar for now, ranking as the overall WR73 in RotoBaller's Week 12 fantasy rankings.
