because i think smith is getting so many targets simply because manningham cant get open. im a michigan fan, and i was never enamored with his ability to get open on anything other than fly, deep post routes. if nicks can come in and get open, i think smith comes back down to earth a little, and nicks plays well. just need some feedback from NYG homers, not sure if anyones hearing anything about nicks' status
Well Smith is tops in the league in targets (next to Moss) but that could be because he was flying under the radar. Now people have to see him as the guy to shut down. Nobody really knew for sure he was the man until the third week. Manningham's stock seems to have fallen, so Nicks has the potential to be the solid #2 guy and could put up better number than Smith when they double him or he goes up against a top corner.
not a good post . . . Manningham can and goes get separation - his issue is his hands . . .
Yep. But the question is how much of Manningham's targets are a result of Nicks (and Hixon) being injured?And now that Nicks is back, will he challenge Manningham for the #2 role behind 'the real' Steve Smith?
Manningham started play #1 week # 1 when everyone was healthy. Few people actually know that fact. Manningham had a terrible game vs. KC, bad hands and good coverage by Brandon Carr of KC. But, the coaches didnt have Hackim Nicks ahead of him coming out of camp -- Coughlin said it was a rotation and he lived up to his word so far. Reality here is that all the WRs will get action, and hot hands will get TONS of action. Manninhgam seized the opportunity first, Hicks is good enough to get some too.
exactly what i was looking for
Is Mario better than Nicks? I dont knowBut Im pretty sure hes better than HixonId sell on MarioSteve Smith is the real deal and has Eli's confidencepretty nice top3 NYG has going right now IMO
He did play poorly but Coughlin is still in his corner
Sure. Though I would say if Nicks keeps up his play there will be a very small margin of error for Manningham moving forward.
I get the feeling this is what has been going on.Nicks and Hixon were out. Manningham soaked up the targets. {Edit: alliteration issue there}.SSmith2 will get what he will get, which is a lot, and Nicks will get shots at TD's and long plays. What Nicks has done the last 2 games is looking like how he was progressing and what he was doing before he got hurt, no? {Edit: yep, my bad, agreed}
Man, I'm glad someone else said it first. For whatever reason, it just annoys the **** out of me.
I have never in all my years of playing fantasy football seen so many people get a guys name wrong. Every thread about this guy there are at least 3-5 references to him as Hicks. Pathetic.
David PatteRn and Quentin GriffiTH disagree.
Same, forced into starting Nicks with byes and Calvin dinged up.
So does Kevin Walters
Because of a garbage time bomb thrown by Carr.

He won't go against back ups every week.It counts doesnt it?Because of a garbage time bomb thrown by Carr.
You are wrong anyway. He was leading in yards receiving -- 70 yards vs Manningham's 50 yards -- before Carr came in the game. Thanks for playing though!I love how every week it's the same excuse. "Nicks went against backups" "Nicks points came in garbage time" blah blah blah.Bottom line: he produces every time he's on the field.He won't go against back ups every week.It counts doesnt it?Because of a garbage time bomb thrown by Carr.
Yep. Who did he look like on that play? Anquan Boldin. Can't remember who it was, EBF or someone else, who compared him to Housh. Sorry, but Housh can't make that play. He just can't. Boldin remains the best compare for him.
Yup, it was EBF. I was agreeing with a link someone posted comparing him to Boldin, which I think is a great comp. And EBF said Housh, which makes zero sense to me.
Yep very Boldin like or Dwayne Bowe with better hands.
Saying he's the best receiver on the team makes you look like a clown. Eventually maybe, now not close to the level Steve Smith is playing at. Sorry.You are wrong anyway.

Agree, but he's scored in 3 straight now. The guy looks incredible for a rookie.
Your league has a bonus for yardage against the first team?GoBirds said:He won't go against back ups every week.William Munny said:It counts doesnt it?Because of a garbage time bomb thrown by Carr.
