Who Should I Start? Trey Palmer or Dontayvion Wicks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer had a good rookie season in 2023 considering his draft status and with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin in front of him, but he has far from secured the No. 3 spot in an offensive system that is sure to be 11-personnel heavy in his second season. However, Palmer should be a lock for the active roster out of training camp, as should rookie Jalen McMillan, who the Buccaneers spent a Day 2 pick on in a deep receiver class. Palmer and McMillan are expected to battle for the No. 3 job in training camp this summer. With Godwin expected to move back into the slot in 2024, Palmer may struggle to match his rookie numbers (39 catches, 385 yards, three touchdowns), especially if McMillan impresses.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks will go on the road to take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Saturday. The rookie scored the first passing touchdown of the day last week against the Dallas Cowboys but ended with only two receptions for 25 yards. With all of the Packers' pass catchers back healthy, Wicks' role has diminished. Even in a positive matchup, the 22-year-old is a risky dart throw due to the sheer number of weapons at the Packers' disposal. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs are all better options in DFS, but Wicks will be in play for the bargain hunters trying to pick sneaky options in tournaments.
