Eagles Think Makai Lemon Can Play Outside
New Eagles WR Makai Lemon ran 75.6% of his college routes from the slot. But the Eagles believe he can also kick to the outside as a pro. That'll be key to keeping Lemon on the field in 2-WR sets.

The Eagles continue to discuss an A.J. Brown trade, and the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring him. Brown has been at the center of trade rumors for most of the offseason, but his contract made a pre-June 1st move unlikely. Now, with both sides interested in a deal, Brown appears likely to head to New England as Drake Maye's long-term No. 1 WR.
The Packers are trading WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and 2027 sixth-round picks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philadelphia is also giving Wicks a one-year, $12.5 million extension that keeps him signed through the 2027 season. Wicks has teased fantasy owners with a handful of strong outings over the last four seasons and registered strong marks in advanced metrics like targets per route and yards per route. But he never carved out a consistent role in Green Bay. There's opportunity for him to do so in Philadelphia ... if WR A.J. Brown is traded.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) has been downgraded to out for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bears. That should leave Matthew Golden as the No. 4 WR behind Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Jayden Reed, but the rookie isn't a recommended play in any fantasy formats.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (concussion) is questionable for Saturday night's Wild Card game vs. the Bears. He was limited in practice all week. Wicks figures to be Green Bay's No. 4 WR if he's cleared and isn't much of a factor in playoff fantasy contests.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks sustained a concussion in the first half of Saturday night's game vs. the Ravens and won't return. It's his second documented concussion and leaves him iffy for Week 18. But Wicks should be cleared for Green Bay's playoff opener.
The Green Bay Packers had 7 WRs active for Week 16. All 7 played, but Jayden Reed led the way in snaps. However, QB Jordan Love exited the game early due to a concussion, which led to a change in Green Bay's offensive approach. Additionally, RB Josh Jacobs aggravated a knee injury, which further complicates the Packers' WR offenseive approach heading into what is now a must-win Week 17
Packers WR Romeo Doubs suffered a wrist injury on his failed attempt to recover an onside kick in the fourth quarter of Saturday night's game vs. the Bears. The team is still evaluating the injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll keep you updated on Doubs' status for next Saturday's game vs. the Ravens. His absence would likely mean more snaps for WRs Dontayvion Wicks and Matthew Golden, but neither guy would be a reliable fantasy play.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is active for today’s matchup against Chicago. With Christian Watson also active, Wicks isn’t a recommended fantasy starter.
Packers WR Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bears. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and sounded optimistic about his status for this one on Wednesday. We're currently projecting Watson to play but will get Green Bay's inactives a little before 7 pm ET on Saturday. WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is also questionable after limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday.
Packers WR Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) did not practice on Tuesday. Watson reportedly dodged a serious injury but remains iffy for Saturday's game vs. the Bears. "We’ll give him up to game time to see if he can go," HC Matt LaFleur said today. WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also sidelined on Tuesday.
Packers WR Jayden Reed (foot, collarbone) has been activated from IR and will play vs. the Bears on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Reed has been out since Week 2 and underwent surgeries for both a broken collarbone and Jones Fracture in his foot. We don't expect Reed to play a full slate of snaps tomorrow and would not use him in Week 14 fantasy lineups. Reed is most likely to take snaps from WR Dontayvion Wicks. Both guys have run over 50% of their routes from the slot this season. Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs are the only Packers WRs that can be trusted in starting lineups this week.
Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks was the star of Thursday's win over the Lions, hauling in six of seven targets for 94 yards and two TDs. He scored the game's first TD early in the second quarter on an impressive contested grab in the end zone from 22 yards out. Wicks' second TD came on a quick out from the one-yard line in the third quarter. He iced the game with a 16-yard reception to convert a fourth-and-three with under two minutes to go.
