Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Nicks fractured the fifth metatarsal of his right foot this morning during the team’s second OTA session. He will have a screw inserted during tomorrow's procedure. The news -- especially the timing -- is not good. Although a 12-week timetable would have him back by September, there are no guarantees. Even if he avoids setbacks and makes good on the timetable, he'll have missed all of training camp. The best-case scenario, from a Fantasy perspective, would have his drafty day price plummet making him a superior value. Meanwhile, Victor Cruz moves further up the rankings while rookie Reuben Randle becomes somewhat more interesting.
