Hollywood Brown

ESPN’s Ben Solak considers Wicks the clear No. 2 wide receiver in Philadelphia following A.J. Brown’s departure.

Wicks never climbed higher than fourth on Green Bay’s depth chart, but Solak believes he now has an opportunity to provide the consistent veteran presence the Eagles lost this offseason.

Solak’s characterization is notable because it differs significantly from our current ordering of Philadelphia’s receivers. Wicks has never commanded a substantial NFL role, but being the clear second receiver would give him far more sleeper appeal than his current ranking suggests. Because this is Solak’s assessment rather than a role confirmed by the Eagles, Week 1 usage will matter before making a substantial adjustment. Lemon's role in the offense may end up taking a little while to flesh out.
