New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks will not play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Already listed as questionable, he was ruled out 90 minutes before the game started.
Hakeem Nicks injury update: Will not play, Rueben Randle gets a fantasy bump
Hakeem Nicks isn’t going to play on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Anthony Gruppuso-US PRESSWIRE
He was able to practice this week with a groin injury, but the team will keep him out of the lineup. This isn’t the first time Nicks has been in practice and didn’t suit up on Sunday, and the Giants are likely just playing it safe with the oft-injured wideout.
Rueben Randle will step in as the starter and could be in for a big day. Eli Manning does not look past his second and third progressions, so it should be a 10-target day for Randle.
Fantasy impact: If Randle is on your roster and you have a spot to play him, it makes a lot of sense to put him in the lineup. The Cowboys will likely key in on Victor Cruz and Randle's big-play ability could pay some dividends. He should be owned in all leagues until Nicks is officially a "go."
