Sep 29, 2024 7:09 pm: Wicks brought in five of 13 targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: The lack of efficiency aside, there were plenty of reasons for fantasy managers to draw encouragement from Wicks' performance after the second-year wideout was blanked in two of his first three games. Wicks not only led the Packers in targets, but all three components of his receiving line were season highs. Additionally, Wicks scored his second and third touchdowns of the campaign on six- and 17-yard scoring grabs in the fourth quarter, helping key a comeback that was nearly successful. Although there will always be plenty of competition for Jordan Love's attention, Wicks holds plenty of appeal heading into a Week 5 road matchup against a vulnerable Rams secondary that Christian Watson (ankle) could miss.
