During a sit-down with Bleacher Report, Love sang the praises of the second-year receiver, who totaled 39 receptions for 581 yards and four touchdowns in his rookie season. The former fifth-round pick was impressive his first year in the league, averaging 14.9 YPR while earning the 16th-highest overall grade for receivers in ESPN's wide receiver analytics. Wicks flashed big-play ability during his time in college, which included a 57-1203-9 line as a sophomore at Virginia. Unfortunately, a coaching change in 2022 led to major struggles for Wicks and the rest of the offense, which likely played a role in him falling to Day 3 in the 2023 NFL Draft. Love said earlier this offseason that the Packers don't have a true No. 1 receiver, which he believes can put added stress on a defense. Between those comments and his praise for Wicks, it's safe to say there will be plenty of opportunities for the second-year receiver to produce for fantasy managers this season.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love doesn't think the Packers need to have a defined No. 1 receiver in order to succeed on offense in 2024, but he sees big things coming for one member of the receiving corps.
