Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Dontayvion Wicks

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman continues his great play by breaking the 100-yard mark for the first time since Week 2 of the 2022 season. The former 27th-overall pick finished Monday night's game with four receptions, 121 yards, and a touchdown on four targets. He's already topped his total yardage from last season and now hit a career-high for touchdowns in a season. Bateman flashed his speed during his touchdown play which saw Lamar Jackson drop the ball right in his hands on his way into the end zone. Bateman will look to burn some more defensive backs in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was a solid contributor to the Packers' 24-22 win over the Houston Texans in Week 7. Wicks (shoulder) was a game-time decision for the Packers after leaving in Week 6 with a shoulder injury. After three limited practices during the week, Wicks was good to go for Week 7 as he caught 3-of-6 targets for 48 yards and a 30-yard touchdown on a beautiful throw by Jordan Love. Wicks was second on the Packers in targets (6) and his touchdown was one of three touchdown scores on the day for Love. With the many pass-catchers on the Packers, it can be hard to find consistent footing each week, but the Packers continue to involve Wicks in the offense despite some issues with drops this season. The Packers will head south to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars in Week 8, where for fantasy, Wicks should be a low-end flex play with upside in that contest.
