BALLER MOVE: Bench in all formats outside of DFS where Wicks can be a worthwhile dart throw
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: The Green Bay wide receiver room is crowded, like trying to pick a spot in New York City on a Saturday night--options everywhere, but hard to lock down where to go. With Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson, and rising tight end Tucker Kraft all vying for looks, consistent targets are tough to come by.
For Dontayvion Wicks, it’s an even tougher battle. He’s flashed some talent, but in Week 8, he managed just two targets against a weak Jaguars secondary. Heading into Week 9, he’s more of a stash, hoping for that one breakout game or maybe a bump in targets if someone else misses time.

26% Amon-Ra St. Brown
26% Tee Higgins

The Packers face a dream matchup against the Lions secondary in Week 9, but predicting Wicks’ involvement week-to-week is a roll of the dice.

Javonte Williams - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Javonte Williams had a disappointing showing in what should've been a prime matchup against Carolina last week, but Bo Nix and the passing game ended up stealing the spotlight. This week doesn’t look much better, as he’s up against one of the league’s toughest […]
Julius Chestnut - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 (If He's The Lead Back) ANALYSIS: Legendary name, but unfortunately, not legendary player (we think). Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut could see the lead role with second-string back Tyjae Spears (hamstring) expected to be unavailable for Week 9, and RB1 Tony Pollard (foot) a game-time decision. IF Julius […]
Emanuel Wilson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has seen even less work as an RB in recent weeks, and we've instead seen lead back Josh Jacobs (ankle) handle even more of a workload since Week 5. Rather than a committee, this is a backfield with a workhorse RB1 […]
Demarcus Robinson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson had his best game of the season, catching two of his three targets for 35 yards and two touchdowns in his team's upset win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8. However, he's unlikely to score touchdowns in every game this […]
D'Ernest Johnson - Week 9 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
BALLER MOVE: Sit POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4 ANALYSIS: There was some value to having Jacksonville Jaguars running back D'Ernest Johnson on fantasy rosters, but with running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) "good to go" for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, that value may be gone. Johnson was the primary pass-catching back before, but that role could […]
