NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **PHI**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR
- **Team:** PHI (Philadelphia Eagles)
- **College:** Virginia
- **Height/Weight:** 6'1", 206 lbs

## 2026 Outlook

Acquired from Green Bay Packers in April for two Day 3 draft picks; signed to one-year, $12.5 million extension through 2027. The Eagles are betting on Wicks to contribute immediately, particularly with Makai Lemon dealing with a hamstring injury. Already familiar with OC Sean Mannion (his position coach with the Packers for the last two seasons), giving him a head start on the playbook. Respected within the league—CB Quinyon Mitchell called him "underrated" and praised his release at the top of routes and strong hands (per The Eagles Are Betting On WR Dontayvion Wicks To Produce In Makai Lemon's Absence).

Not a speed demon (4.58 40-yard dash as a fifth-round pick in 2023), but compensates with very good short-area quickness and elite route-running that generates separation. Listed as potential No. 2 or No. 3 receiver depending on Lemon's recovery timeline. His familiarity with Mannion's scheme is a significant advantage over the still-acclimating rookie.

## Role / Depth Chart

Poised to be Eagles' No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in the post-A.J. Brown era, potentially taking snaps alongside DeVonta Smith. Starting role depends on Makai Lemon's hamstring recovery; likely fills a significant gap in the interim.

## Injury Status

Healthy entering 2026 season.
