BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4/WR5
ANALYSIS: A few of the biggest fears from the preseason about Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks have come to fruition -- he doesn't get enough playing time and he doesn't see enough targets. Curiously, though, he's also struggled with stone hands. It hasn't been pretty for him this season.
Dontayvion Wicks showed good mental toughness and kept battling in Week 4. However, there were definitely some rough moments for the second-year receiver, with none being worse than this drop on what would have been a touchdown on 4th down. Gotta make this play. pic.twitter.com/G4KQQnyASj

Like every other Green Bay receiver now, he's struggled to remain consistent. He plays in a rotation with Christian Watson, and the two see less snaps than both Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed (ankle). Tight end Tucker Kraft also has been efficient and could see more targets. And the return of rookie MarShawn Lloyd (ankle) from IR could spell more trouble.
Jordan Love is spreading the ball around as evenly and fairly as any quarterback possibly could. The breakdown of targets among options 1-4 is extremely even pic.twitter.com/GH6l27NNp7

It's tough to put someone so inconsistent in starting lineups. He's better off left on the bench.
