Who Should I Start? Skyy Moore or Dontayvion Wicks

If the Philadelphia Eagles trade wide receiver A.J. Brown this summer, the Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski thinks that Dontayvion Wicks would probably be the WR2 behind DeVonta Smith and over Marquise Brown. There are a lot of things working for Wicks. He is younger than Brown, the Eagles have more invested in him, he's under contract for two more years, and he seemingly already has the trust of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. But perhaps the biggest thing that will separate Wicks from Brown in the competition for the WR2 role if A.J. Brown is traded is the fact that Wicks offers "far more" as a blocker in the running game than Brown does. Kempski thinks it will "matter a lot in this new scheme." The 24-year-old would definitely have a much higher fantasy ceiling as the No. 2 wideout in Philly, but he will also need to fix his issues with drops if he's going to take advantage of the bigger opportunity in his first year with his new team. In three years with the Packers, Wicks never had more than 39 receptions, 581 yards, or five touchdowns in his 46 games (18 starts).
