The Green Bay Packers (2-1) will host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Dontayvion Wicks.
Is Dontayvion Wicks Playing in Week 6?

Should You Start or Sit Dontayvion Wicks in Week 6?
Let’s call a spade a spade.
Dontayvion Wicks hasn’t been good. He’s yet to reach 45 yards in a game this season and, for a big-play threat in college, the fact that we are nearing a calendar year since his last 30-yard reception is disappointing.
He’s playing, so there’s that. Wicks has cleared 20 routes run in three straight games, but without a single end-zone target and opportunities only going to get more difficult with time, there’s no reason to look in this direction right now.
I’ll never write off a Packers receiver given their democratic target distribution, but I’ll pass until I see signs of life.
