Dontayvion Wicks — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Dontayvion Wicks has quietly posted receiving touchdowns in every season of his career — four in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025 — averaging 3.7 per year over that three-year stretch. His target share has fluctuated, rising from 58 in 2023 to 76 in 2024 before falling to 46 in 2025, but the touchdown production has been a consistent thread. Now with Philadelphia, he lands in an offense that keeps the ball moving. The floor is thin, but the red-zone instinct is real.
What the model projects
The projection is 54.6 half-PPR fantasy points for 2026. His draft value sits at -67.9, placing him WR83 and #267 overall — Tier 9 on the board. These numbers reflect a player operating well outside the range of weekly-starter territory. His bye is Week 10.

The range of outcomes
The three-year averages tell the story plainly: 36 receptions, 442.7 receiving yards, and 3.7 receiving touchdowns per season on 60 targets. The 2024 season showed what the ceiling looks like — 39 catches, 415 yards, five touchdowns on 76 targets. The 2025 season showed the floor — 30 catches, 332 yards, two touchdowns on just 46 targets. The gap between those two seasons is the range a drafter has to accept. Target volume is the variable that moves everything else.
How to draft him
Wicks is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP. That means there is no pick cost to plan around — he is a free agent on draft day in most leagues. At WR83 and #267 overall, he profiles as a late-roster stash, the kind of name you add after your starting lineup is set. His value is contingent on target volume finding him again; the touchdown rate gives him a path to relevance if it does.
