Any Word on Hakeem Nicks?

Recommended Posts

He is a game time decision, flew with team and will be in Indy.

 

I hate this too, my other options are Mike Williams (TB) & Sims-Walker. I have a sneaky suspicion that he doesn't play although he said after Friday's practice that he was.....

 

Who f'in knows.....

I think he will play but who knows how productive he will be. I personally will keep him on the bench in favor of Collie. Since they play each other, I will get to see first hand how smart/stupid/lucky/unlucky I am. :blink:

I was really wanting to play him because I love the matchup, but I just pulled him in favor of Floyd. I have no other options late and the guy I am playing has great matchups, so I can't afford a goose egg.

ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that he stands a good chance to play. What tha heck, I'm starting him and I'll have my fingers crossed!!!

Nicks returned to practice on a limited basis Friday, but said his ankle wasn't limited at all.

 

"Early in the week it was bothering me when I'd go to the right a little bit," Nicks said. "But now I'm going every direction fine."

Nicks was officially listed as questionable but Tom Coughlin said it "looks like he's headed in the right direction."

Well, he traveled with the team so that probably means he is playing.

 

He says he is fine, so that should mean something.

 

I'm sure he will be active. The bigger question for me is how well will he play? He says he can move in either direction, so do I believe him?

 

If I go with Nicks, I'm out of options. I won't be able to change this up 30 minutes before kick off if by some reason he is inactive.

 

Not an easy call, plus I think NYG will try and should be able to run the ball and kill the clock to keep Peyton off the field. I personally don't think this is a good play. I may bench him for one of the Williams boys or Naanee.

Also not convinced this is a great play this week.

I may have to roll with TO as WR3. I just can't gamble on GTD this week.

 

I'm in a tough match up and need points- a goose egg would kill me.

Damn it, I am thinking about just sticking him in there and taking the risk. :wall:

 

Otherwise it's Gaffney or Dez... :dunno:

ESPN just reported that he actually hurt his ankle early in last weeks game and then he went on to score 3 td's. I guess he played with a broken toe last year too. Hicks and Coughlin are optimistic that he is going to play. I'm starting him.

Ditto. My other option at WR is D. Bowe and after his 1 point crapfest on MNF last week I'd rather start a gimpy Nicks.

if I bench Nicks it's for Gaffney. have a few more hours before that decision has to be made. gut says Nicks plays...since it is a huge game in national spotlight.

yeah, if this was an afternoon game he wouldnt play. Sunday night? He would risk further injury and suit up

Giants: Report: Hakeem Nicks starting tonight

The News

ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports that Hakeem Nicks (ankle) will start for the Giants tonight.

 

Our View

That's a huge get for the G-Men. Nicks caught all three of Eli Manning's touchdown passes a week ago, and he'll be a big part of trying to start 2-0 win a win over the Colts. Start him as you normally would.
