When you want to expand your 4 team league lemme know....seriously though this is great news and hope he holds up, I traded for Harvin early on and have Jordy and Stevie Johnson, but being able to start Nicks, Jordy, and Harvin (w/ return yards) would be freakin sweet.
Even with a good matchup vs the Saints I'm sitting Nicks no matter what now. Started Decker over him after knee swelling and putting FJax as the flex. Also Eli out and Cam in. I was salivating over this matchup all year and now have no skin in the game
I'm with you. This sucks. Such a great matchup, but it's just so hard to play him now.I'm actually thinking of putting in Josh Gordon instead.
Me too. Also considering Alexander or Mike Williams.
Not sure why Alexander wouldn't be your choice regardless. He's a top 5 receiver over the past month in my league.
In the game vs. GB, I was in awe with what I saw. I was sitting with my dad and whenever NYG was in the RZ I'd mumble, "fade to Nicks". Nicks was targeted on four separate plays in the RZ, a majority being fades to the left corner I believe and he just couldn't come down with it. Some of the throws were off, but a healthy Nicks would have finished that game with a 9/100/4 stat line. The upside just isn't there this year, it can't be with him at less than 100%. At best, I think we can hope for a similar 5/70/1 stat line, one in which I'd be happy with.
^^That's exactly what I did. Not gonna sit around & wait for confirmation Hakeem is active...it's a late afternoon game.'kutta said:
Same here.
Garcon is playing like a stud. No reason to not play him regardless.
I hear you and I pretty much agree, but when you see 100% of the "experts" rank nicks over garcon, it tests your gut instincts, even when you know it's you and only you that's responsible for your own decisions.
I would. Cam will take some deep shots with hm.Dare I bench Nicks for Lou F'N Murphy?
I've got the same decision and Nicks only put up 43 yds last week against Washington last week and Crabtree has a decent match up against Miami this week. I'm almost positive I'm going with Crabtree. Nicks hasn't been impressive since week 2.Just to throw a wrench into it all I've also got Britt to consider.'letter_j said:If Nicks starts, he's a go for my squad...the Saints match up is just too good to pass up IMHO. That said, I also have Michael Crabtree to fall back on IF Nicks is not active, so I do not risk a zero.
Nearly 40 targets and 6 red zone looks the last 3 weeks. Geez ur hard to please.I've got the same decision and Nicks only put up 43 yds last week against Washington last week and Crabtree has a decent match up against Miami this week.

Does your league award points for targets and looks?Nearly 40 targets and 6 red zone looks the last 3 weeks.

Not taking a chance, playing Garcon in his place
No, but in order to accumulate points, you need targets and looks. Before the setback on Wednesday (which has me concerned), my eyes saw that Nicks was getting separation and Eli merely missed him on a couple of big plays last week. IF he is ACTIVE, he's a go for me, as his ceiling is much greater than Crabtree's and his floor is around where Crabtree's is...I understand not taking the chance on the zero if all of your options are exhausted at 1:00, but he's the best of my options after the early games.
Exactly.
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.
Seriously??
Seriously
Have both. Starting Williams. Can't risk him limping off
