2012 Outlook: Stud (low risk)
Last updated on Aug-11-2012 by Daniel KallesNicks is a stud receiver and would have gone into the season as a top-5 option if not a for a broken foot suffered during OTAs. He has vowed to be ready for the start of the season, but that remains to be seen. Good news is he's already walking on his own and without a limp. Considering he has a history of healing fast, there is reason for optimism. Some fantasy owners may run to draft Victor Cruz instead, but unless Nicks suffers a setback, he remains the Giants receiver to own (though both rank high). Tracking his rehab is a must for interested owners, as is Nicks' ADP. Should it steadily fall leading up to drafts, get ready to bounce assuming he suffers no setbacks.
Update (8-11) Nicks is on target to be ready for opening day after breaking his foot in OTAs, according to the New York Daily News. Keep following his rehab, but if he is ready for opening night, Nicks should be drafted as a top 10 wide receiver.

3.07 | FFToolbox.com (Ben) - Considering Nicks is dealing with a foot injury that likely keeps him out of the preseason, I'm taking a risk. To varying degrees, Mike Wallace (contract) and Brandon Marshall (loony) are also risky. I'm not convinced Cruz can repeat at that level. Nicks can. |

3.07 | 2MugsFF.com - After going RB-RB, I like having a guy like Nicks to head my WR corps. His ADP is a full round later than it was last year. The injury concerns are there, but give me the WR with the highest ceiling on the board every time. |
