Nicks getting MRI on his hand (1 Viewer)

According to them he injured it early (I suspect on the 68 yard catch all tho he seemed to be favoring his leg more than his hand) and kept playing. I hope it's nothing. If anyone finds out any info, post here.

IIRC Nicks injured his hand a few plays before the 68 yard bomb. He was falling out of bounds attempting to catch one of Eli's trademark heaves and landed awkwardly. He was seen grabbing it as he ran back to the huddle.

This. He seemed to be able to catch alright after the injury.It looked like he slapped his hand (palm down) really, really hard against the ground when he was falling out of bounds. Could be anything from a bad contusion to fractures.But my guess is he'll still be able to play with it just because he stayed in the game and seemed to be the only thing working for the Giants today.

He was shaking his hand a few plays before the 68 yd catch. In fact, all his catches were after he looked like he was having issues with his hand. Given how well he played for the rest of the game, I am hopeful this is just a precautionary MRI.

 
Hakeem Nicks will undergo further evaluation on his injured knee after initial X-rays came back negative on Sunday evening.HC Tom Coughlin said at his Monday press conference that Nicks is dealing with "some type of injury." An ominous sounding statement, but far from an indication Nicks' injury is serious. He does appear to be a question mark for Week 2, however, after his knee swelled up on Monday. If Nicks doesn't go against the Rams, Mario Manningham can be treated as a WR1

At this rate, I would be more worried about radiation poisoning than anything else.
 
so what's going on with this guy? Seems like a knee and from what I've seen likely out for week 2? With Monday night game, this sucks. League I'd be counting on him, I can't get Cruz or Hixon which would be the smart thing to do so you could have insurance

 
IF you have Nicks who his coach says may or may not play on Monday night and you have another player in that game to sub in, fine. If you don't have another MNF wr or flex - go get Hixon for one week of insurance

:goodposting: When it comes to hand injuries, who would know more than Captain Hook?

You guys think we will know something more definitive by Sunday morning or will this thing be a mystery up until MNF kickoff?
Click to expand...
won't know until inactives come out more than likely, just like every other GTD. For monday night, you'll need either a Ram WR or Hixon/Cruz to rely on as insurance. I'd suggest the latter with StL down to CB3-5 and just signing a practice squad player to be their dimefor the record, it's a bone bruise in his knee. With an extra day of recovery, I dont think they know whether he's doubtful or questionable just yet

I definitely wouldn't take his word for it...if that is what you are asking. Best play here is to get insurance if possible

We have a thread like this every year, and what I've learned is: always believe Hicks when he says he's playing :yes:

no kidding. guy does get banged up alot but nobody can question his pain tolerance. surgery for compartment syndrome is extremely painful post op. i have assisted on several and i honestly thought he was done for the year. still cant believe he came back that fast.

Yes he did. The week he came back after the surgery for compartment syndrome. I don't remember his exact numbers. But it was one of his best games of the year.

:goodposting: but your math was off, he missed 3 games and was still a beast. As for the poster who said he is always hurt, that may be the case but he doesn't miss many games and still produces big time numbers. He is a tough wr.

It was actually Week 7 vs Dallas on MNF. 9 rec, 109 yds, 2 td's. Eerily similar in that people were afraid to start him since he was playing on MNF and they had to figure out whether to play other options instead of risking that he woudn't play. Those that benched him regretted it. The fact that he played the whole game last week with whatever injury he got makes it likely he will play Monday. If he could play then why not 8 days later after receiving treatment on the injury every day?
 
It just figures he'd be hurt going into a Monday night game. What are owners doing? In the league I have him I could plug in Jordy Nelson, Meachem/Moore, MThomas, Burleson, or Knox ... or maybe pick up MSW/Salas or Hixon and take a chance. What stinks for that league is the ww runs tomorrow and doesn't have an open transaction period. I think I gotta go Jordy and then my Sunday if it's still up in the air just give up on Nicks this week.

All tho it was three years ago and pre-major injury, Hixon performed admirably when filling in for plaxico. He looked good in the preseason, and he is definitely the "hawk" play. This is a calculated risk IMO since Nicks is a tough guy and normally plays, you'll want to wait as long as you can to try and keep this stud in your lineup. If he misses the game, Hixon will start vs a banged up secondary, and probably be good for 50-70 yards.

The league I own Nicks in is a 16 team 30 man dynasty so there is literally nothing on the WW. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. Probably start him despite having other good options as his upside is just too high.

Have Nicks in 2 of the 3 leagues I play in. One I have picked up Caddy to sub for Nicks in flex but Caddy isn't going to be on WWs.The other I have Gibson. He could be on some WWs. Someone has to catch the balls in STL against a depleted NYG secondary so it's not a reach to start Gibson, MSW, or even Salas in PPR.If you don't have an open period up until first game Sunday then you're probably right in your thinking that you should use one of your alternates already on your team. However, I agree with the poster above saying he's starting Nicks if he's playing. I had him last season and learned just because he is "hurt" doesn't mean he can't and won't blow up. I start him if he's in the lineup and expect good things..this is why I think having a backup plan playing MNF is worth it so you can start him if he plays and have a backup just in case he is inactive.

This is the dilemma. I have a good team and solid options. Part of me thinks, don't take the risk just bench him while the other half thinks that the rest of my team could carry him if he didn't perform. I just have no chance of getting a back up

Guys, he's gonna play.
 
grabbed Stokley as insurance (in a league where Hixon or Ram WR isn't available). Sounds like Coughlin is going to use him especially if Nicks is unavailable because Cruz is not cutting it...

Added Salas but not because I'm worried about Nicks... I do now have a contingency plan though.
