Dontayvion Wicks start or sit: Week 14 fantasy football advice

Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season rolls on this afternoon with a major NFC North rivalry battle for first place featuring the Chicago Bears visiting the Green Bay Packers at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.

The Packers have rattled off three straight wins and were last seen racing past the Lions in a 31-24 Thanksgiving Day victory last Thursday afternoon. Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks had himself his best performance of the season and we’ll see if he can provide a strong follow up today.

Below, we’ll go over Wicks’ outlook in fantasy football for Week 14.

Fantasy Football analysis: Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks went off on Thanksgiving last Thursday, lighting up the Lions with six receptions for 94 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the win. It was just the second game this season where the third-year wideout was targeted at least seven times and it marked the first time since Week 4 of last year where he finished a week as a top-five fantasy receiver in all scoring formats.

It will be interesting to see how Wicks is utilized given the injury situation of the receiver room heading into today’s crucial division showdown. Matthew Golden is listed as questionable after missing the last two games with a wrist injury while Jayden Reed could make his triumphant return from a broken collarbone that has kept him out of action since Week 2.

Start or sit in Week 14?

Sit. Wicks’ contributions last week lifted the Pack over the Lions, but I think that he’ll come back down to earth this afternoon. Green Bay’s receiver committee approach has not been kind to fantasy managers and Wicks will most like see a dropoff from last Thursday.
