Hakeem Nicks progressing physically, good fantasy option for Week 8

Brad Penner-US PRESSWIRE
Nicks, who was slowed earlier this season by foot and knee injuries, is not 100 percent but has started to practice on a regular basis. The Giants face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact: Nicks is clearly getting better after playing in a second straight game on Sunday. He should be not be an injury risk heading into Week 8 against Dallas and will only help the Giants improve on offense.
Nicks is likely a solid No. 2 fantasy wide receiver for this week and could soon be back into the No. 1 receiver category if there are no setbacks. For now, fantasy owners should start him with confidence.
