New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks was in full pads on Thursday but was limited in practice. Paul Schwartz of The New York Post says Nicks was running light routes against no defense in individual drills. Nicks was taken off the PUP list earlier this week and after breaking a bone in his foot back in May.
Hakeem Nicks Limited in Practice for Giants: Fantasy Implications
Giants WR Hakeem Nicks was in full pads but limited in practice on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Nicks is a valuable weapon for the Giants and his limited status in practice this week is not a surprise. The Giants play the Jets on Saturday in the preseason but Nicks said earlier this week that he thought he was still on track play in the season-opener Sept. 5 against the Cowboys. If Nicks is ready to play, fantasy owners should be ready to draft him in earlier rounds. The biggest concern for fantasy owners might be Victor Cruz getting targets instead of Nicks but both are Top 10-15 receivers overall.
