Dontayvion Wicks

Reed and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) are ready to rock against the Broncos this week. Both players are forced to play efficiently thanks to the team's deep receiving corps, but Reed can still be started in the FLEX. Wicks is a bit more volatile, but is capable of making big plays.

Reed is on track to play in a tough matchup against the Broncos this week. The Packers' slot receiver ran a route on 60.0% of the pass plays last week, which was encouraging. Reed is on the FLEX radar once again, though his target volume is likely capped. Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited.

Reed returned from foot and shoulder injuries to play in Week 14, getting four targets on the day. He saw a sizeable role, running over 60 percent of available routes and the Packers will limit is practice workload to start the week. Also limited were fellow wide receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Savion Williams (foot). Wicks played through the ankle injury in Week 14 while Williams did not practice all of last week. Reed is still trending to play and is the best receiver out of the three, while Wicks is worth a speculative deep league dart throw and Williams is not fantasy relevant.

Reed was activated, but that doesn't mean the wideout will play in Week 14 against the Bears. The Packers are listening the third-year wideout as questionable for that contest, and there's just as good of chance that he'll return to action in Week 15 as this Sunday. Reed last played in Week 2. If he can actually suit up, he'll knock Dontayvion Wicks out of the top 70, and perhaps render Romeo Doubs and even Christian Watson a bit more volatile.

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.
