Wicks also drew a 24-yard pass interference penalty in the third quarter, but was most notably the receiver targeted on Jordan Love's first interception. Darius Slay did a better job of running Wicks' route than Wicks did. Wicks finished the year third amongst Packers receivers in snaps, but mainly owes that to the fact that Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson dealt with injuries or maladies that forced a healthy Wicks into the lineup. After exploding on to the scene in Week 4 with a 5/78/2 line on 13 targets, Wicks did not go over 49 yards again for the rest of the season and peaked at seven targets. He likely starts the 2025 offseason, the third year on his four-year rookie deal, as a starter for the Packers due to Watson's ACL injury. But nothing we've seen from Wicks so far would lead us to believe the Packers have developed a star-in-the-making, and if the Packers target a receiver in the draft to be a long-term Romeo Doubs replacement, that receiver would likely come for Wicks' snaps first. It's makes for a precarious standing entering the offseason for Wicks, but there's a possibility we'll be touting him as a sleeper pick in August if Green Bay runs it back as constructed.

It looked rather scary when Doubs came down on the back of his helmet in the end zone, with several Packers players taking a knee around him before trainers rolled him on to his back and helped him into the locker room. Matt LaFleur gave no update on Doubs after the game. Doubs had two catches for 13 yards on his only two targets before leaving. (The incomplete pass on this play was wiped away via holding penalty.) Doubs missed two weeks after a concussion earlier this season. His 2024 season was marred by the concussions and a team-issued suspension for complaining about his target rate. Romeo enters his contract year in 2025 as someone who has shown a lot of promise in various games, but hasn't been able to put together an impressive season yet. We'd be surprised if the Packers extended him. He likely enters the fantasy offseason as a WR4-type, or a best ball pick you hope bounces back while ill fortune befalls the receiving room around him.

The Packers have gotten on the board, but they lost one of their wide receivers on the way to their first points of the game.
