Between Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, and Romeo Doubs, it was already a crowded, three-headed Packers WR room to begin with heading into the second year of Jordan Love’s time as the starter in Green Bay – but Dontayvion Wicks is raring to make it four star pass catchers in the rotation after gaining steam as a sleeper heading into his sophomore season. Despite limited playing time during the 2023 season, Wicks was far and away the Packers’ most efficient receiver – his 2.31 yards per route run, 3.08 yards after contact per reception, 0.26 missed tackles forced per reception, and 0.115 first downs per route run all led the team last year. Wicks made waves with four touchdowns in his final three starts of the season, and with Jordan Love offering this nugget ahead of training camp, the hype is officially real surrounding the former fifth round pick. Even so, his price remains deflated all the way down the board as the WR59 – later than all three of Reed (WR34), Watson (WR41), and Doubs (WR54). He remains one of the best lottery tickets at the position heading into 2024 in a great scheme with an ascendant Jordan Love at quarterback.
