Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks Absent Thursday

11 months ago

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, chest) were both absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Watson strained his right hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't practiced or played since, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss yet another contest in Week 17 on Sunday night against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. The rookie Wicks had been seeing more involvement in the offense with Watson sidelined, but he suffered a chest injury in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now in jeopardy of missing this weekend's game. Jayden Reed (chest, toe) also missed last week's game, but he is back at practice this week and could return on Sunday evening. Reed has been a touchdown machine of late and would be an enticing option for fantasy lineups in Week 17 if he's active and both Watson and Wicks are out.
