Busts on the Green Bay Packers

Reasons WR Dontayvion Wicks Could Be a Bust

  • Ben Cummins: He had a golden opportunity last season to seize a larger role in the offense. He fumbled it.
  • Maurile Tremblay: After a drop-heavy 2024 and with more competition from draftees, his WR4/5 price tag could prove optimistic if targets disappear in a crowded room.
  • Andy Hicks: Struggling to be the third or fourth option last year, Wicks will slip even further following the selection of Matthew Golden. He will be better on another team. 
  • David Zacharias: Amidst fierce target competition, modest usage history, and a propensity to drop passes, Wicks stands to lose his seat on the Packers' wide receiver carousel.
