Wicks Converts Five Critical Downs in Eagles Win Over Titans
5 sourcesUpdated Sep 21, 2026
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is emerging as the team’s clear No. 2 option behind DeVonta Smith after catching five of six targets for 74 yards in a 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. All five of his receptions came on third or fourth down and gained first downs, underscoring his growing importance to quarterback Jalen Hurts in critical situations. Through two games, Wicks has produced seven catches for 147 yards and a touchdown while developing chemistry in Philadelphia’s offense. His strong start has prompted some regret among Green Bay Packers fans who viewed trading him as one of the team’s least-favored offseason moves, though rookie Makai Lemon could eventually challenge his target share.

The early production from Wicks is exactly what the offense needed after losing Brown. Hope the rookie doesn't take his snaps too soon.
Wicks stepped up big on those third and fourth downs when it mattered most. He's looking like a steady No. 2 option already.
