BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End WR2
ANALYSIS: Dontayvion Wicks was a popular waiver addition this week. He’s coming off his best game of the season after putting up a 5-78-2 line against the Minnesota Vikings.

With Christian Watson set to miss time and Romeo Doubs’ status for Sunday’s game unknown, Wicks is set to see increased playing time. That would mean great things for his fantasy value. We could see returns as early as this week.
The Packers draw a matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5. The Rams' defense has struggled against the pass this year. They rank 31st in defensive passing DVOA per FTN Fantasy and allow the 10th most PPR points per game to receivers.
Wick is a talented player and should have another strong performance in this matchup. Fantasy gamers should feel confident starting Wicks as a WR2 or flex option this week.
