BALLER MOVE: Add in Very Deep Leagues
57% owned in Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Nicks may never again be the receiver he was in New York in 2011, but if anyone can bring him back to relevancy, it's Andrew Luck. Through six games, he only has 141 yards on 17 receptions, but he has crossed the goal line twice, after failing to score a touchdown all of last year. By no means is Nicks a reliable week-to-week starter, even in deeper leagues. But considering who is throwing him the football, if you are truly desperate for someone to fill a WR3 or flex hole (especially during bye weeks), Nicks might not be such a bad option. He is available in 68% of Yahoo! leagues, so if you find yourself riddled with injuries at the WR position, you might want to take a flier off the waiver wire on a guy who was once on the verge of becoming an elite wideout, and is now playing with a much better quarterback.
