Wicks retreated to a complimentary role with the return of Romeo Doubs, typically serving as the fourth wide receiver when the top three are healthy. He remains an intriguing stash through fantasy playoffs for his upside in the event of an injury ahead of him but should not be trusted in rosters with the team now healthy at pass-catcher.
Packers WR Romeo Doubs (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll be back for Sunday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Doubs should resume full-time duties, knocking WR Dontayvion Wicks off the fantasy radar.
Wicks also took a wicked shot to the head and had trouble getting to his feet, but he was never evaluated for a concussion as far as we can tell. With Romeo Doubs battling a concussion of his own, Wicks has caught four passes in back-to-back games after totaling one reception in Weeks 9-12 (three appearances). With Doubs likely to be back for Week 15 against the Seahawks, Wicks is going to find himself out of the top 48/second FLEX range at wide receiver.
Missed Week 13 with a concussion Packers ruled out CB Jaire Alexander (knee), WR Romeo Doubs (concussion), LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) and CB Corey Ballentine (knee) for Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Doubs missed Week 13 with a concussion and will sit again this week against the Lions on Thursday night. With Doubs out last week, the Packers used Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks and Jayden on the majority of snaps. All three are viable fantasy options this week against the Lions who have given up the 3rd most fantasy points to the position.
Doubs missed Week 13 with the brain injury. He was limited in practice this week, but an early game on Thursday made it impossible for him to clear the league's concussion protocol in time. He should be back for a Week 15 tilt with the Seahawks. His absence will leave Jayden Reed as the team's top receiver, though Christian Watson and Dontayvion Wicks will both be in the mix for targets. Reed will sit on the WR2/3 border while the deep threats are high-risk FLEX plays for Week 14.
