Who Should I Start? Parker Washington or Dontayvion Wicks

Friday, October 31, 12:43 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington should be considered a waiver-wire pickup heading into the weekend after the Jaguars announced on Friday that they placed rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury that he suffered in practice on Thursday. Hunter will not be eligible to play again until Week 13 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Nov. 30. In the meantime, Washington will see his role in the passing game increase dramatically next to Brian Thomas Jr. (shoulder) and Dyami Brown. Washington, 23, enters the team's Week 9 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday with 17 catches on 35 targets for 207 yards and one touchdown in 2025. He has seen double-digit targets in two games this year and could very well be on his way to a third this weekend in Vegas, where he'll suddenly be on the WR4/flex radar in fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Wicks missed every day of practice this week and hasn't practiced since injuring his calf in Green Bay's Week 7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old has held a reduced role in a crowded Packers pass-catching group this season, catching 13 of his 20 targets for 134 yards and no touchdowns in six games. It got even more crowded last week with Christian Watson making his season debut, and Jayden Reed (collarbone, foot) is also reportedly getting closer to a return to practice.
