Fantasy Impact: If you own Nicks in your fantasy league, you should know the drill by now. Make sure the wide receiver is out of your lineup or else take a big fat zero in your lineup. If you are in need of a last-second pickup off waivers, Hixon may still be available in your league. He had 114 yards receiving last week, and should be a solid stop-gap going up against a porous Browns secondary.
