BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Early in Sunday's loss to Minnesota, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was knocked from the game with an ankle injury. While it sounds like he avoided a worst-case scenario and is just dealing with a sprain, he could definitely miss some time.
Sunday also saw Dontayvion Wicks step up and emerge as a breakout option with Watson on the sidelines. He was targeted a team-high 13 times, catching five passes for 78 yards and two touchdowns.
Dontayvion Wicks scored 22.3 fantasy points in Week 4 with Christian Watson injured early.
80% route participaiton
24% target share (led team)
35% air yards share (led team)Will rank as a WR2 for me next week if Watson out.
Available in 87% of Yahoo leagues.
Must add, y'all.

If Wicks is on the wire in my leagues, I'm adding him. However, the receiver situation in Green Bay is still relatively messy, so I'm not going to throw all my FAAB at him at this point. Still, with three touchdowns already this season, Wicks looks like he should have a sizable role going forward, so I'd be moderately aggressive in going after him.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
