Nicks missed time in 2012 with foot and hamstring injuries, although he still managed 53 catches for 692 yards and three touchdowns. Nicks says the team’s medical staff will determine if he will play in New York’s preseason opener against Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Nicks remains a solid fantasy options at wide receiver, although owners might not have to take Nicks as early this season because of the nagging injury potential. Nicks should be considered a strong No. 2 fantasy wide receiver heading into Draft Day in most league formats.
