Dontayvion Wicks Cleared for London Clash With Expanded Target Share on Tap

Wicks avoided an injury designation for Week 5 after shaking off a hamstring issue, stepping into a prime perimeter role in London against Jacksonville. With top receiver DeVonta Smith ruled out due to a hamstring injury, Wicks enters the lineup as a starting outside target and should see an immediate bump in looks from Jalen Hurts.

Our models project Wicks for 10.4 fantasy points on over five targets and 48 receiving yards. While currently started in only 16% of leagues, his separation ability and elevated role make him an appealing Flex/Stream option in a matchup where Philadelphia enters as 7.5-point favorites.
