Leaning toward risking it with Hakeem, but I'm sure I'll waffle back and forth 100 times between he and Mike Williams before 1 o'clock.

Same here. I just benched Williams for Nicks, since I think Hakeem has a better shot at a massive game. But I might chicken out and put Williams back in. He seems safer.

Have both. Starting Williams. Can't risk him limping off

I'm in the same boat. Can't decide. If D Thomas had a big game on Thursday then I'd feel more comfortable just throwing in Nicks.
 
Going with Nicks over Josh Gordon in one league, Sid Rice in another. Hoping for the best but who knows this year.... :shrug:

 
Shoot, I'm going with Gordon and Givens over Nicks....I just don't get a good feeling with Nicks this week! It's not like he's been putting up "big numbers" lately....

Understandable, but it's not like Williams has been the pillar of consistency of late either.Tampa Mike had one huge drive last week, in a game where he got the most targets he's received all season. His three weeks prior were the definition of "meh." Hence my waffling.Mike is certainly safer. No argument there.

have the same decision as a few here: Nicks or Crabtree? To make things worse, I have Welker in from the NE Questionables. So two Qs (3 with Hernandez..yay!) and Crabtree sitting on the bench because I'm simply stumped at whether to play him, and if so for who? this game is so much fun!!

 
Oh Hakeem, every time I think I'm out, you pull me back in!

Without anything more definitive, I'm sticking with Nicks. I'll hate myself more if Nicks has a 25pt game on my bench than if he puts up a big fat 0 in my lineup. Not rational, I know, but true.

That`s why we play...life isn`t insane enough
 
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that the Giants "believe" Hakeem Nicks (knee) "will play" in Sunday's game against the Saints.

The ultra-reliable Schefter joins CBS' Jason La Canfora in reporting Nicks will be a go. At this point, it would be a surprise if he wasn't active for a showdown with Saints corners Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson. Consider Nicks a high-risk, high-reward WR2. The Giants will release their official list of inactives around 3:00 ET.

Dammit, I know exactly what's going to happen.

Nicks will play and his knee will limit him as it did in other games he played with swelling, essentially making him a decoy for Cruz and Hixon/Barden.

There are other WRs out there that I could start over Nicks (Hartline, Avery, Gordon) that are no sure things to put up points, but could very well be far superior plays than a banged-up decoy Nicks when all is said and done. I just don't have the balls to do it.

I'm resigned to blindly following the "If he plays in the game, you gotta start Nicks" faulty logic, even though in my heart I know that it's going to cost me the game.

Dammit.

 
Decided to "play it safe" and roll with Tampa Mike. As a Giants fan, I really hope Nicks plays and plays well or else they will struggle in this crucial game.

I tweeted Bramel...he liked Nicks over Crabtree too if Hakeem is active, so the Doc does not seem too concerned about the knee

I have to agree with you on this for this happened the last time.

This is my reasoning as well. That being said, he does have as good of a matchup as it comes and he has shown that he can play well through injuries.

or not. Crabtree has a nice 7 for 85 line right now though in the 2nd quarter. and we all knew it would happen, yet we all played Nicks over Crab. :wall:
 
Hakeem Nicks (knee, probable) says he "feels good" and is "ready to play" on Sunday against the Falcons.Nicks didn't practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday and Friday, but he says he and Eli Manning are on the same page. Nicks will likely be a limited practice participant for the remainder of the season after head coach Tom Coughlin said the receiver would go back on the one-practice-per-week schedule. Rotoworld ranks Nicks as the No. 19 receiver for Week 15, and we wouldn't hesitate to start him versus Atlanta.Source: ESPN New York Dec 15 - 3:34 PMhttp://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/5136/hakeem-nicks

He had something like 1 catch for 20 yards in last year's championship week, and held to a goose egg today. I'll never own this guy again. Never.

 
I'm not a doctor, but he didn't look healthy today. Sluggish in and out of his breaks. No separation.

Eli seemed to be favoring Randle towards the end of the game.

 
Whole team just looked pathetic. Nicks had his beanie on and didn't play a lot in 3 WR sets even. Goose egg. Thankfully I won the SB going away without him.

 
Dude is gonna have to fall a long way in redrafts next year for me to be willing to take him again. I've had a great year in spite of him, not because of him.

 
This guy cost me the championship today. He reminds me of Owens. Does well during the season but is either hurt or useless in the playoffs.

He did jack all season except for 1 game. I needed 50 yards from him tin the bye and he gets 43. Good thing I dominated the 3 playoff games even though he averaged about 4 points a week. Give me a warrior like Boldin over this clown anytime as a WR3
 
I'm curious how far he will fall in redrafts next season. I'd likely draft him again if he fell to the 5th or so...but Im curious if people will chalk this season up to injury issues and still draft him as a wr1?
