All signs point to him playing. However, I think this is further complicated because he was not productive last week and many of his owners took losses for his poor outing. Do you risk starting your stud or play a less appealing option?
What is everyone else doing with him and what are your situations? I don't mean this to be a WDIS but I'm curious what everyone else's strategy is going to be in relation to my three decisions below. This is of course subject to change if we get a better report by Noon Sunday.
For myself in one league I have Dez Bryant in reserve in a milestone heavy scoring system so I will let Nicks ride until Monday as none of my other Sunday options are as appealing with Calvin on a bye. For now sticking with Nicks knowing Dez is less likely to hit 100 yards but is viable if needed. The other benefit here is knowing whether the 4-40-1 outing likely for Dez will be enough if both play although Dez is not 100% healthy either but it's a 14 teamer and the ww is thin (and we pay for transactions).
In another league, a PPR/milestone format, I'd be starting a guy like Denario Alexander or similar from the ww with Wayne on a bye but don't have a MNF option although I could cut DA for Manningham but for now will not. For now sticking with Nicks because while I like DA to get something like 4-70-1 I think a healthy Nicks is likely to pull down a 7-100-1 score for a huge day. That said, I really can't take a 0 so I'm waivering because DA plays early. My only other play is to find a 3 PM or SNF WR with some viability to atleast see how the 1 PM games shape up to decide if I can risk nothing from Nicks.
For the 3rd league, a yardage heavy format with no bonuses, I have Collie out leaving me with Mike Wallace, Nicks, and Mike Williams (TB) for 2 spots. I was definitely going Wallace. It's a shallow bench league and just can't afford a cut (Collie) to pick up a later afternoon starting WR. I am very tempted to plug in Williams who unfortunately plays at Noon. I project to win easily even with the lesser projection of Williams but a 0 would be deadly ... after losing last week by 1 point with Scobee going last Monday night and getting me only 3 points.
I actually own him in 4 of 8 leagues. This is a basic 10 team dynasty and I project to win even with a 0 so I'm just letting Nicks ride with Alexander (unknown), Ocho (stinks), and DJax (hurt) as my other options. Subject to change on Sunday by Noon of course.

Came here to post exactly this because, well, I was one of those people (sat Calvin for Tampa Mike). He has said he is playing. Unless I hear he is out, he's in my lineup.
