Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Not good news for the Giants, Nicks, or his fantasy owners. We'll keep you posted on his official status as the week progresses. In the meantime, we suggest you plan on Nicks begin absent from your fantasy lineup this weekend. The G-Men used a rotation of Domenik Hixon and Ramses Barden opposite Victor Cruz in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. We expect both to see both wideouts on the field versus the Browns. An extended absence by Nicks could also open the door for Reuben Randle to become more involved in the pass attack.
