The Facts:
Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks didn't practice Tuesday, however he was spotted on the sidelines riding an exercise bike. Coach Tom Coughlin said the plan was for Nicks to rest his surgically-repaired foot that was stepped on late in Sunday's game. Nicks had a huge day vs. the Bucs, catching 10 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown. Despite the short week, Coughlin said he expects Nicks to play on Thursday night in Carolina.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
You can bet that Nicks will be listed as questionable heading into Thursday's Week 3 match-up with the Panthers. While you can't count on almost 200 yards and a score every week, fantasy owners can count on Nicks playing through pain just as he has the last two weeks. Completely healthy or not, Nicks is a must-start on a weekly basis.
