Fantasy Impact: The fact that Cruz put on a dominant performance should come as a surprise to no one at this point. Hixon’s big game arguably came as a direct result of Nicks’ absence, however.

If Nicks sits out again, Hixon could definitely be a solid stopgap option off waivers to make up for a bye week to a regular starter.
