Wicks (ankle) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Wicks hasn't practiced since preparation for a Week 6 matchup with the Panthers due to an ankle injury, missing the last two games in the process.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Ruled out for Monday's game
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Cowboys.
Wicks wasn't able to practice in any capacity during Week 7 prep due to an ankle injury and thus will miss his first contest of the campaign. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) also sidelined Monday, the Eaglges will rely on a receiving corps composed of Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey, though TE Dallas Goedert (knee) may end being the favorite target of QB Tanner McKee.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Not spotted at Saturday's practice
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) was not on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of Inside the Birds reports.
It looks like both Wicks and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will miss all three Week 7 practices, so the duo's chances of playing Monday against the Cowboys appears to be slim, but the Eagles will announce their injury designations following Saturday's session. Rookie Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) would all be involved more heavily in the offense if one or both of Wicks and Smith were to be sidelined.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: DNP due to ankle injury
Rotowire
Wicks (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Wicks made a very brief exit late in this past Sunday's loss to the Panthers but was able to return. With an ankle injury being cited as the reason for Thursday's absence, the nature of the injury has been revealed. Both Wicks and No. 1 WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were DNPs to kick off Week 7 prep, so the situation bears watching to see if either of them will be able to play Monday against the Cowboys.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Only two catches vs. Carolina
Rotowire
Wicks caught two of four passes for 24 yards during the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Wicks' 24 receiving yards were his second-lowest of the season, but he still finished third among Eagles pass catchers in that category Sunday behind DeVonta Smith (75) and Dallas Goedert (61). Week 6 was the Eagles' first game with Tanner McKee under center, and with Jalen Hurts (calf) out for the rest of the season, the scoring floors of Wicks and the other Philadelphia pass catchers figure to be lower moving forward. That said, the Eagles have a juicy Week 7 matchup on Monday, Oct. 26 against the Cowboys, whose defense ranks in the bottom-10 in the league in fantasy points allowed per game to wide receivers.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Clear for Week 6
Rotowire
Wicks (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Panthers.
Wicks was limited Wednesday and didn't log any on-field work Thursday, but an uncapped session Friday has him in the clear for Week 6 action. He'll be welcoming back DeVonta Smith (hamstring) to the lineup, though, which may not allow Wicks to reach the 6.5 targets per game that he received during Smith's two-game absence.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Wicks (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Wicks now has been listed as limited on three consecutive injury reports dating back to last week due to a hamstring issue, but he wasn't tagged with a designation for a Week 5 matchup with the Jaguars in London. He ended up earning an 84 percent snap share in that contest, which he parlayed into five catches (on eight targets) for 63 yards with top WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) out for a second game in a row. Wicks doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out this Sunday versus the Panthers, but his status nonetheless will be monitored as the week goes on.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was out again in Week 5 at Jacksonville, and Wicks stepped up with five catches for 63 yards on eight targets. He has now scored at least 11.3 PPR points in three of five games this season, and Wicks is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues in Week 6 against Carolina if Smith remains out. Darius Cooper (10 percent rostered) had two catches for 71 yards and a touchdown on three targets against the Jaguars and has now scored at least 10.6 PPR points in three of his past four games, including four touchdowns over that span. I would also use Cooper as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Panthers if Smith remains out. Wicks and Cooper are worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Five receptions in loss
Rotowire
Wicks caught five of eight targets for 63 yards during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.
Wicks led the team in targets, and he was able to match his season-high five catches in the defeat.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Three catches in loss
Rotowire
Wicks caught three of five targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams.
Wicks was slated to operate as the team's No. 1 wide receiver in Week 4 with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) sidelined. He finished third on the team in targets behind fellow wideouts Darius Cooper (7) and Makai Lemon (6), while his 18 receiving yards were a season low. Wicks will have an easier matchup in Week 5 against the Jaguars, regardless of whether Smith is available or not.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
DeVonta Smith (hamstring) won't play in Week 4 against the Rams, which puts Wicks and Makai Lemon in prominent spots for the Eagles. Wicks is worth using as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues, and Lemon is worth a flier in deeper formats. It's not an easy matchup, but the Rams have allowed four touchdowns to receivers in three games and four guys to score at least 12.4 PPR points. Wicks has scored at least 12.4 PPR points in two of three games this year, and he should lead Philadelphia in targets. Lemon is off to a rough start in his rookie campaign with only seven catches for 38 yards on nine targets in three games, but this is a big opportunity for him with Smith out.

Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks: Held quiet in Week 3 loss
Rotowire
Wicks recorded two receptions for 32 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-7 loss to the Bears.
Though he didn't find paydirt, Wicks played a critical role on the Eagles' lone scoring drive on the night late in the second quarter, leading off the possession with a 13-yard catch and run. He was otherwise held in check while the game was still competitive, with his lone other reception coming with 6:30 remaining, when the Bears had built a 20-point lead. Through his first three games with Philadelphia, Wicks has produced a 9-179-1 receiving line on 15 targets.
