Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.

Wicks was targeted once and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Wicks did not record a reception in the final game Green Bay played before its Week 10 bye, and that was the case again Sunday. Wicks has shown he can produce when given the opportunity, but he simply is not getting those right now, as over the last three games his team played he averaged just 22.7 snaps per contest while totaling only six targets. It might take an injury to Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs or Christian Watson for Wicks to regain a prominent spot in the game plan.
Wicks was targeted three times and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Wicks would have had a better day had he hauled in a pass from quarterback Jordan Love in the end zone during the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, but when it was all said and done he was shut out in the receptions department for the third time in nine games. Wicks has found paydirt four times this season, but he has totaled just 16 catches and all of Green Bay's receivers are healthy, so it could be worth making a roster move with the Packers on bye in Week 10.
Wicks was targeted twice and caught two passes for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. Wicks found the end zone for the fourth time this season his last time out, but he did not do much for fantasy players that included him in Week 8 lineups. Wicks remain capable of producing when given the opportunity, but he has had fewer of those of late, as since injuring his shoulder in Week 6 his snap count has taken a noticeable hit. Wicks could get back on track in Week 9 against a Lions team that has allowed opposing wideouts to rack up a league-high 124 receptions, but his prospects will take a hit if starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is unable to go.
Wicks (shoulder) caught three of six targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. Wicks finished second behind Romeo Doubs in both targets and receiving yards while playing through a shoulder injury the former sustained in Week 6 against Arizona. Most of Wicks' production came on a 30-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Wicks has reached the end zone on four of his 14 catches this season, and the opportunistic wide receiver will try to continue his scoring spree in Week 8 against a generous Jacksonville secondary.
Wicks (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Texans, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Wicks made an early departure from last Sunday's win against the Cardinals in the first half with a shoulder injury that initially was reported to be a week-to-week concern. He then put himself in a position to be available Week 7 after cobbling together three limited practices that left him questionable for Sunday's game. Now that he's active, Wicks likely will remain Green Bay's fourth option at wide receiver with all of Jayden Reed, Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs suiting up.
Wicks (shoulder) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Wicks was a limited practice participant all week, after missing the final three quarters of last week's win over the Cardinals. He seems to have avoided a serious injury but could end up inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, in which case Christian Watson would get more snaps than usual and other Packers pass catchers would see slight boosts to their target-share projections.
Wicks (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. After Wicks exited this past Sunday's contest against the Cardinals and wasn't able to return due to a shoulder issue, it was reported by Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports that the wide receiver was week-to-week, which often puts players in danger of missing further game action. However, Wicks has bucked that report and so far has managed two capped practices this week. In the end, Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's matchup with the Texans.
Wicks (shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports. Wicks sustained a shoulder injury this past Sunday versus the Cardinals and wasn't able to return to action. According Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, initial reports suggested that Wicks' injury was a week-to-week concern, but his ability to practice Wednesday has given him a chance to be available Sunday against the Texans. Fellow wideouts Jayden Reed (ankle) and Christian Watson (ankle) also had a cap on their reps to begin Week 7 prep, so the position group will be one to watch as the week goes on.
Wicks (shoulder) took part in Wednesday's practice, Bill Huber of SI.com reports. After departing this past Sunday's win against the Cardinals due to a shoulder injury, Wicks initially was deemed week-to-week, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports. Having said that, Wicks' ability to participate in at least individual drills to begin Week 7 prep may put him closer to day-to-day. Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reported that Wicks was wearing a brace on his upper arm Wednesday, so his ability to play Sunday against the Texans could come down to pain tolerance.
