Draft note

by John Paulsen

Dontayvion Wicks is probably the best real-world WR4 in the league. (Bo Melton is probably the best WR5 as well.) His snaps will be somewhat limited unless there’s an injury to Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and/or Romeo Doubs, so he’s not a player that we can start with any confidence unless one or more of those players is sidelined. But in best ball formats he’s an intriguing late-round pick since he will poke his head up from time to time with a big game. Talent-wise, he’s capable of playing at a fantasy WR2 level for a stretch if he gets the requisite snaps.

Packers Beat: QB Jordan Love looks to improve on deep throws

ESPN

Aug 13 · 9:47 AM EDT

The 65-yard touchdown pass that Dontayvion Wicks caught in stride on the third play of Saturday's preseason opener at the Cleveland Browns was reminiscent of the 17 deep balls that Jordan Love connected on last year.

Only two quarterbacks hit on more throws of 25 or more air yards last season: New Orleans' Derek Carr and Miami's Tua Tagovailoa with 19.

As perfect as that throw looked against the Browns on Saturday as it floated 27.7 yards in the air, according to NFL Next Gen Stats tracking, it's easy to forget that even with 17 deep-throw connections last season, Love's completion rate on those passes was no better than 15th among all quarterbacks.

Fantasy Impact:

Working to improve Love's 34.7% success rate on throws of 25-plus air-yards has been a focus in training camp, the story said. So even though it was a preseason game, it was Love's first deep attempt in live action - and it was a success. The story added last year Love struggled to hit his speed receivers on deep throws, many of which were under thrown. Love's fantasy value seems to be on the rise and he's surrounded by a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. Success on deep throws will only help continue his climb. Love is currently ranked 10th on our QB list.

GB WR Dontayvion Wicks - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Minnesota Vikings

Dontayvion Wicks was quite popular in DFS last week as one of the clear values but left injured early on. Thankfully he secured a touchdown before heading out for the game. He's officially listed as questionable for the game against the Vikings this week.

With Wicks questionable and in a game environment that doesn't look great for a shootout, it's tough to trust Wicks this week as a flex play. He'll likely be the WR3 against a pass defense that is 15th aFPA against wide receivers this week. I get it if you're desperate, but you might have better and healthier options on your bench.
