Are you trying to buy low on any of these guys, players were for instance back ups in 2013 and could be starters if they join another team?

Among runnings backs, I think Ben Tate and even Toby Gerhart are players I will try and get.

What do you think about Kenny Britt? Worth taking a shot on?

I would buy low on Hakeem Nicks. This year was a complete shambles for him and the rest of the Giants offense - while he may not be as explosive as he used to be, I don't think he's forgotten how to play WR and could thrive in the right spot. I could see him in Carolina, where he grew up and played college ball.

I agree on Nicks. The whole Giants offense was a disaster this year. Cruz didn't do much after the first 4 or 5 games. Eli was just awful and they had zero running game. Maybe a change of scenery for Nicks wouldn't be a bad thing.

I think the main issue with Nicks is his health. A full season and I could see him being very productive.

I have a feeling Nicks will stay in New York with a new offensive coordinator there.

Depends what the market is for WRs. The Giants may be willing to go with Randle/Jerrigan to replace Nicks and may not be willing to pay Hakeem what he wants. The Giants don't have a history of overpaying for FAs.One has to wonder what the overall FA market for WRs will be after Wallace and Jennings didn't exactly pan out as planned for what they were given.

If the Lions don't draft a WR, I could maybe see them going after someone like Nicks to line up across from Calvin.

I like Gerhart based on his high potential for immediate returns and his low price tag. Decker and Ben Tate could be okay, but in Decker's case he'll likely never find a fit as good as the one in Denver. I sort of like Andre Roberts as a possible FF WR3 if everything works out just right and he lands in a high-powered offense ala New Orleans, Indianapolis, or Denver. I think he's pretty comparable to Lance Moore. We've seen what he looks like in a mediocre situation and it's not startable in FF.

I see the Lions going after Andre Roberts.
