Wicks was targeted seven times and had three receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Wicks did not do much after finding the end zone on Green Bay's opening drive, but he did record his first touchdown since Week 7. Wicks has gotten more involved after a quiet midseason stretch, and he could be busier than he has been in Week 17 if fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) is unable to go.

Wicks was targeted seven times and had three receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 34-0 victory over the Saints. Wicks did not do much after finding the end zone on Green Bay's opening drive, but he did record his first touchdown since Week 7. Wicks has gotten more involved after a quiet midseason stretch, and he could be busier than he has been in Week 17 if fellow wideout Christian Watson (knee) is unable to go.
Wicks caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Seahawks. Wicks had a quiet day in Week 15, recording his lowest yardage total in the past four games. The 23-year-old wideout played 30 of the Packers' 64 offensives snaps, behind Christian Watson (50), Romeo Doubs (48) and Jayden Reed (38). As long as the trio of top receivers remains healthy down the stretch, Wicks will continue to see an uphill battle for consistent playing time. The Virginia product will be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Packers host the Saints in Week 16.
Wicks secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Packers' 34-31 loss to the Lions on Thursday night. Wicks tied Tucker Kraft for second in targets and Christian Watson for the team lead in receptions, although he was a distant second to the latter in receiving yards. Nevertheless, it was notable that Wicks logged four more targets than No. 1 receiver Jayden Reed, who went without a catch. Wicks has back-to-back four-reception outings heading into a Week 15 road matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night, Dec. 15, but he could be looking at a reduced role if Romeo Doubs (concussion) returns for that game.
Wicks recorded four catches on five targets for 30 yards Thursday in a 30-17 victory versus the Dolphins. Romeo Doubs (concussion) missed the Thanksgiving Day game, making room for more opportunity for Wicks. The latter was on the field for 89 percent of Green Bay's offensive snaps after not playing more than 40 percent of the team's offensive snaps over the previous two weeks. Wicks' production remained modest, however, and if Doubs is able to return to action next Thursday against Detroit, Wicks may again spend more time on the sideline than on the field.
Wicks was targeted twice and had one reception for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-10 victory over the 49ers. Wicks was shut out in back-to-back appearances leading up to Sunday's contest, but he got back on the board with a long reception in the fourth quarter of the game. Opportunities have been lacking for Wicks, who has just three 20-yard receptions in 2024 after racking up 11 of those across 15 regular-season games in 2023. He could see a boost in targets in Week 13 if fellow receiver Romeo Doubs (concussion) is unable to play, but he will enter with just three receptions for 36 yards across his last four appearances, and he will take on a Miami defense that has shut down opposing wideouts as well as anyone.
Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.
Wicks was targeted three times and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Wicks would have had a better day had he hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he was shut out in the receptions department for the third time in nine games. Wicks has found paydirt four times this season, but he has totaled just 16 catches and all of Green Bay's receivers are healthy, so it could be worth making a roster move with the Packers on bye in Week 10.
Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Wicks found the end zone for the fourth time this season his last time out, but he did not do much for fantasy players that included him in Week 8 lineups. Wicks remain capable of producing when given the opportunity, but he has had fewer of those of late, as since injuring his shoulder in Week 6 his snap count has taken a noticeable hit. Wicks could get back on track in Week 9 against a Lions team that has allowed opposing wideouts to rack up a league-high 124 receptions, but his prospects will take a hit if starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is unable to go.
Wicks (shoulder) caught three of six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. Wicks finished second behind Romeo Doubs in both targets and receiving yards while playing through a shoulder injury the former sustained in Week 6 against Arizona. Most of Wicks' production came on a 30-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Wicks has reached the end zone on four of his 14 catches this season, and the opportunistic wide receiver will try to continue his scoring spree in Week 8 against a generous Jacksonville secondary.
