Who Should I Start? Kayshon Boutte or Dontayvion Wicks

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte desperately needs to bounce back in order to salvage his fantasy value on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte caught six passes for 103 yards in Week 1 and then added a touchdown the next week, raising plenty of speculation that he was ready to take on a massive role and could be a strong WR3 in fantasy football. However, he has just four catches over his last three games, looking relatively uninvolved despite a snap share over 70 percent. Time could be ticking for Boutte to get back on track, and it probably won't happen Sunday against the Bills. Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest receiving yards and 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-fewest fantasy points to perimeter receivers like Boutte. He can be benched in all leagues and dropped in leagues with 12 or fewer people.

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.
