Hakeem Nicks Injury Update: Fantasy return looks probable

Hakeem Nicks is questionable for Sunday. Should embittered fantasy owners roll the dice on one of the most talented receivers in the league?

Jim O’Connor-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire

Hakeem Nicks (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday and Friday. He is listed as questionable for Sunday's late-afternoon game against the Niners.

Nicks has missed three games which has limited his stats to just 14 catches, 237 yards and a TD. His last game was an explosion of 199 yards against Aqib Talib and the Bucs, so fantasy owners have certainly missed him.

Fantasy Impact: Nicks is not exactly in the good graces of fantasy owners. He had one of the best postseasons ever at the receiver spot last year and it launched his ADP to the third round in some formats even though he broke his foot in the offseason. His knee injury isn’t expected to limited him.

He has a bad matchup and all that time off doesn’t help either. Although, it’d be extremely hard to bench a guy that put up 199 yards. We’d suggest starting Prince Hakeem in all formats or we will be forced to thrash you.
