BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team PPR Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Back in Week 4 against the Vikings, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks looked like a breakout star. With Christian Watson exiting the game early, Wicks was targeted 13 times, catching five passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
Watson was out for Week 5 against the Rams and Wicks was a popular fantasy play, but he ended up posting a middling stat line. He was targeted seven times, but he caught just two of those passes for 20 yards.

Wicks is third in the pecking order in targets behind Jayden Reed and tight end Tucker Kraft and could fall farther back if Watson returns. Still, he's a strong upside play because Arizona's defense has been susceptible to the long ball, so consider him a WR3 with a high ceiling for Green Bay's Week 6 contest with the Cardinals.
