Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Dontayvion Wicks

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods led the team with four catches for 42 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, he drew a defensive pass interference call, underscoring his impact on the game. With Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Stefon Diggs, and Noah Brown seemingly securing their roster spots, the competition for the remaining two spots is intense. Despite strong practice performances, former second-round pick John Metchie III has been underwhelming in games, with just two catches for 11 yards and a drop over two preseason games. Xavier Hutchinson, who caught five passes for 56 yards last week, had a quieter outing on Friday but added 19 rushing yards. Ben Skowronek, acquired from the Rams, brings versatility and blocking prowess but failed to catch any passes on Friday. Though the most expensive option, Woods is valued for his blocking and veteran presence, which could be crucial in determining the final roster spots.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks had a solid day's work in the Packers' 16-10 win at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Wicks earned a team-leading four targets, hauling in three of those targets for 26 yards. The lone passing touchdown from starting quarterback Malik Willis was scored by Wicks as he caught a 14-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. With just 14 passing attempts to go around for the Packers, Wicks made the most of his opportunities. While he's still behind in the pecking order among the team's wide receivers, Wicks is utilized plenty in the Packers' offense. For fantasy purposes, Wicks is tough to trust, so he's not going to be a recommended start in fantasy football when the Packers head to Tennessee to face the Titans in Week 3.
