Moemoney 8 Posted November 6, 2012 I know that Hakeem Nicks is having a down season, but I was surprised to see just how bad he's really been. Do you think that things will turn around for him, or is he garbage this year? He is very talented, but...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted November 6, 2012 I think he will turn it around if Manning gets his head out of his ass. WTF is he doing out there? I have lost two weeks in a row now because he has a combined 1 point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WR Guru 31 Posted November 6, 2012 Maybe now that he is supposedly "95% healthy", maybe the Giants will show an actual interest in getting him involved in the offense. Other than his one catch and a couple of deep shots that weren't very close to connecting, he was a total non-factor. Extremely frustrating player. He's been so bad and unreliable that you will never get fair value for him in any trade, but he still has WR1 upside, so you can't just drop him. This is the same player who was completely dominant - way better than Cruz - in last year's playoffs. Right now, I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. The Giants are coming off a string of tough matchups against the top-3 pass defenses in the league (San Fran, Dallas, Pitt in 3 of the last 4 weeks) so we'll see what happens now that he's healthy and the schedule is loosening up. The Giants don't face another top-10 pass defense for the rest of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChocolateTown 4 Posted November 6, 2012 Nicks is a guy who is getting the snaps, getting the opportunities, and has the talent. The Giants offense is extremely streaky. Just stay patient, and I think most Hakeem owners will be smiling once the Giants return from their bye and get on a roll in their next three games against GB, NO, ATL.

The dude above cited the top 3 passing defenses Nicks has played somewhat banged up. I'm hearing he is close to 100% so I'm expecting a huge upswing from the past few weeks results. Hey, as a side note, I traded Julio Jones to get Nicks early in the season (probably because I'm a huge Giants fan and I believe in Nicks), so I'm feeling stung more than anyone.

I own nicks all over the place so I too am a fan of him and see the potential but he has been killing me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gridiron whirlwinds 2 Posted November 7, 2012 I actually just traded Kendall Wright and a next years third round pick for him in a dynasty league. I am ok with it, because I also own Kenny Britt, so I get away from the two titan receivers and spread it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monster71 0 Posted November 7, 2012 I think Nicks will pick it up. Agree the problem is Eli. I was high on Cruz the first few weeks but have been dissapointed of late. With Nicks getting healthy it will impact Cruz. I traded Cruz today for Megatron. Bad move. Will wait n see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 7, 2012 I was just offered Nicks/P Thomas for my T Young/R Bush. I'm weak at WR but strong at RB. I've been looking to move Bush and upgrade somewhere else. Is Nicks healthy? If he is I'm all over this trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gridiron whirlwinds 2 Posted November 7, 2012 I think he is as healthy as he has been for awhile, but ...I am not sure that his foot & knee still dont have some impact on his production....that being said, when I look thru his gamelogs for his career....he is so cappable of monster games that I took the chance on him I also love the fact that he has worked with the same QB in the same system for a few years...it is the bread & butter effect and not the oil & water effect, if you know what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pariah 0 Posted November 7, 2012 I think he's a buy low, but don't do it if you're counting on him to return to WR1 form--if you can afford to take the gamble, great. If not, look for more of a sure thing. I just traded for him. I gave up Reggie Wayne for Roethlisberger and Nicks (I had was starting Romo and still have AJ Green, A Brown and D. Moore at WR).

If he is I'm all over this trade. bit of a gamble since Nicks hasn't been producing but i'd pull the trigger. If you're strong at RB, bush isn't sniffing your starting lineup. He's hit or miss these days anyway, Thomas getting lots of touches. Pierre has as good a chance as going off any given week as bush does TBH... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 7, 2012 Damaged goods this season. Ridiculous. The same things were being said about him last year at about this time. He had a pretty strong second half and was out of his mind in the the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've actually been picking between CJ Spiller and R Bush every week.....for my flex spot. I'm solid at RB. ETA: WAIT, HOLD THAT THOUGHT! NICKS NOT PRACTICING TODAY WITH KNEE PROBLEMS. UH OH.

ChocolateTown 4 Posted November 7, 2012 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks is experiencing swelling in his knee again and will not practice this week. Nicks had battled through pain in his surgically repaired foot and had swelling in his knee earlier in the season but appeared to be getting healthier as he wasn't on the injury report last week. But Nicks is on the Giants' pre-practice injury report on Wednesday and coach Tom Coughlin said the receiver experienced swelling again. "He did, so we are going to rest him today," Coughlin said.

WR Guru 31 Posted November 7, 2012 Poor form for the WR Guru. Yeah, tell me about it. He fell to me at what seemed like a value price in an auction league. For exactly 1 dollar more I could have had Brandon Marshall, whom I had rated much higher anyway. For 1 dollar less, I could have had Demaryius Thomas.

unclemercy 51 Posted November 9, 2012 this goes back to my hear it from hakeem and start with confidence philosophy. he wont disappoint. start with confidence. Hakeem Nicks vows to play Sunday versus the Bengals after returning to practice Thursday. "Yeah I'll play," said Nicks. "[Resting until after the bye] was never a thought, at least not on my behalf." After a little early-week "puffiness," the swelling in Nicks' knee has subsided. The receiver has been told by the medical staff that he's running better every week. Of his disappointing fantasy production of late, Nicks replied, "Stats are for girls." Nov 8 - 2:31 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
