Dontayvion Wicks misses practice again Friday (ankle); ruled out

Out (ankle). Fantasy football: Dontayvion Wicks misses practice again Friday (ankle); ruled out. Fantasy football impact and what to do.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 31, 2026 · Updated October 31, 2026

Dontayvion Wicks did not practise Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington with an ankle injury. He missed all three practice sessions this week after sitting out Week 7 against Dallas. The Eagles receiver has not participated in any practice since Week 6.

Wicks does nothing for fantasy lineups until he is cleared. His work opens up for Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper, though DeVonta Smith already commanded 14 targets to Wicks's 4 in Week 6 against Carolina. Washington has allowed 29.4 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 7th most of 32, making it an easier matchup for whoever handles the extra work.

Fantasy impact

Player by player

Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks caught 2 passes for 24 yards on 4 targets on 62% of snaps in Week 6 against Carolina, good for 3.4 half-PPR points. Over his last three games he averaged 5.2 half-PPR points a game on 5.7 targets and an 79% snap share with a 17% target share. DeVonta Smith saw 14 targets in that same Week 6 contest, with Makai Lemon drawing 6, showing Wicks well behind in the pecking order even before the injury.

His 0.44 weighted opportunity rating over the last three games ranked 46th of 180 receivers, with a 26% air yards share ranked 44th. He is scoring 1.1 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts over that window, 107th of 176 receivers, so his role is worth more than his recent points. None of that matters until he returns to practice and gets cleared, which has not happened yet with Week 8 now upon us.

What to do

• Bench Wicks, as he cannot play this week with the out designation.

• Monitor Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper as the next options at receiver for Philadelphia with Wicks sidelined.

• Wait for Wicks to return to practice before considering him for any lineup, as there is no timetable for his return from the ankle injury.
