News: 20 hours agoWicks caught three of five targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.

Spin: Wicks was slated to operate as the team's No. 1 wide receiver in Week 4 with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined. He finished third on the team in targets behind fellow wideouts Darius Cooper (7) and Makai Lemon (6), while his 18 receiving yards were a season low. Wicks will have an easier matchup in Week 5 against the Jaguars, regardless of whether Smith is available or not.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Wicks was traded to the Eagles after spending his first three NFL seasons in Green Bay. The 2023 fifth-round pick was limited to situational work during his Packers tenure, never finishing a season among the top 50 receivers in snaps, routes, targets, catches or yards. Wicks flashed at times (exactly one game of 24-plus points in each season), but otherwise scored 5.3 PPG. Even after the Eagles traded A.J. Brown, Wicks' path to targets may not be any easier in Philly. DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and Saquon Barkley are all assured substantial roles, with first-round rookie Makai Lemon and Hollywood Brown also very much in the mix. Wicks, 25, will need to win the team's No. 2 receiver gig in order to have any shot at weekly flex consideration. He's barely worth late-round consideration in deep leagues.
