Wicks Rising as Eagles' WR2 | NFL News

Dontayvion Wicks is quietly poised to be the Eagles’ biggest surprise in 2026—stepping into the WR2 role behind DeVonta Smith as AJ Brown’s departure reshapes the roster. Once a Packers fifth-rounder, Wicks thrived in Green Bay before being traded to Philly for draft picks and signing a $12.5M deal. With Hollywood Brown struggling and Makai Lemon sidelined, Wicks has emerged as Jalen Hurts’ top secondary target in camp. Coached by new OC Sean Mannion, who knows his game inside out, Wicks brings size and reliability—a perfect fit for Philly’s red zone needs. Don’t sleep on him.
