Dashow28 6 Posted September 19, 2012 So for the unfortunate people who would need to take a chance on one of the Giants backup WRs, possibily me , who is the better pickup? Ramses Barden or Reuben Randle? Barden's got the size at 6'6 to kind of take the Nicks role, imo. What's everybody think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,551 Posted September 19, 2012 Barden was already the number 3 with Hixon out. Randle should see some snaps I would think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moomin 0 Posted September 19, 2012 Interesting.... Barden is on my WW right now. Him or Brian Hartline in my WR2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcmmidwest 98 Posted September 19, 2012 I think Randle gets the playing time The Giants announced Wednesday wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (foot) has been ruled out for Week 3 at Carolina. That could mean more playing time for Rueben Randle, who told the New York Daily News Tuesday he got "a lot" of snaps in practice. "Hakeem told me to be ready to play this game," Randle told the Daily News. "I’m just going to go out there, do whatever the coach needs me to do to the best of my ability. And that’s pretty much my role right now. It’s a little different (from college), but it’s just something to get adjusted to. You got to accept your role. It is what it is. Until my opportunity comes, to show what I really can do, it is what it is. I just accept my role." (Updated 09/19/12) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gratefulegg1973 253 Posted September 19, 2012 I think Nicks and Maclin should have a lesbian wedding and get it over with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted September 20, 2012 Hopefully this is just a case of the Giants not wanting a guy with a bad foot playing 2 games on 3 days rest. Any word if it's more than that? Giants homers? Fock Thursday games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lojogo 0 Posted September 20, 2012 Fantasy football is awesome, BLAH!!!! In one of my leagues I have Forte ouch, Hernandez yuck, and now Nicks yippee!!! My 0 and 2 record should really improve with decker, benson and Pitta in the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclemercy 51 Posted September 20, 2012 im not mad at him. his foots probably sore from kicking a mudhole in most the teams he faced last week. i guess finleys gonna get some run. idk for how deep everyone thought wrs were the benches here seem weak and there isnt lots left on the wire. maybe ill sneak play nate washington. i for sure wont play hakeem. enjoy the rest big fella. get well soon and by soon i mean next week at the latest.

Big Blue 06 195 Posted September 20, 2012 Hopefully this is just a case of the Giants not wanting a guy with a bad foot playing 2 games on 3 days rest. Any word if it's more than that? Giants homers? Fock Thursday games. From what I read on the Giants website, NYPost.com and others, that's exactly the case. The Giants are taking it on the chin with this schedule having them only get 3 days between games. That is no time at all to heal from injuries. The thought is that in 10 days, Nicks is absolutely 100% going to play and Bradshaw is more likely to play, depending on his progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Benedict 0 Posted September 20, 2012 + 1 million Hellz yeah. Our starting lineups lock in stone at week's first kickoff. So my start-3 WR league where I felt nice and stacked with Calvin, Hakeem, and Garcon? Starting Amendola, Avery, and Brian Hartline. Wide receivers' collective feet can bite me while NFL schedule makers fondle me from behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unclemercy 51 Posted September 20, 2012 Why would you bench Calvin? well he hasnt even scored a touchdown yet this year and the guy has hartline. no brainer imo. great move here keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
