With first round draft pick Matthew Golden in town, Dontayvion Wicks is falling both on the depth chart and in best ball drafts.
Dontayvion Wicks was a hyped up sleeper for 2024, often drawing comparisons to a young Davante Adams. Those are large shoes to fill for most any wideout and Wicks certainly didn’t measure up with his WR72 finish in 2024.
On Underdog, Wicks has fallen 5.9 spots in the last week from the late 17th round to the early 18th round. With Texas wide receiver Matthew Golden being selected in round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, all Packers receivers have become more questionable for their role in the upcoming season. While Jayden Reed takes the most obvious hit, further down the depth chart the enthusiasm for Dontayvion Wicks has wavered.
At best, Wicks is a late dart throw in best ball drafts when stacked with Jordan Love or correlated with the Packers fantasy playoff schedule. Otherwise, there are better dart throws to be had.
