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.

Dontayvion Wicks is looking like a Packers Wide Receiver handcuff.
The Green Bay Packers have a bunch of young wide receivers, one being a sleeper in Dontayvion Wicks. Last season Wicks was a rookie, where he had 39 catches for 531 yards and 4 touchdowns. On Saturday he was behind 3 wide receivers, Romeo Doubs (who had 2 touchdown catches), Christian Watson, and Jayden Reed.
For fantasy, Wicks is a best ball draft candidate and late-round dynasty pick. For redraft, he could be a late round dart throw, but be ready to add off wavier if one of the top three wide receivers get hurt. Especially, with Watson’s injury history, he can be late round add.
