What am I missing?

LINK

81% of FantasyPros say go with Nicks vs Denver over Torrey Smith vs Cleveland.


I know the Ravens passing game struggled after losing Jones, but Smith is even more the #1 target and how much of the Ravens passing struggles was due to the Bronco secondary.

I am torn between Nicks and Thompkins. Nicks looked good one SUnday.

A healthy Nicks is a borderline WR1

Add the fact that Baltimore will probably be ahead most of the game, while the Giants will be trying to keep up with Peyton... I want Nicks this week

Nicks is a fantasy starter when he is 100% healthy unless you happen to have a ridiculous receiving corp.

I think thats a bit off base...Smith ranked ahead of Nicks in alot, if not most pre season prediction/cheet sheets.

Explain....he is facing the better secondary and is not the #1 target on his team.

Joe Haden was the correct answer.

If nicks is healthy (and he is) he should be an every week fantasy starter. Cruz won't score 3 TDs every week, when teams play them differently it will open up things more for Nicks.

Also this week will be a Manning vs Manning shootout. A fantasy owner's dream.

I'd go with Nicks. Haden is a beast. I started Wallace this past week and I learned my lesson. Smith won't put up the numbers Nicks will this week.

Why is everyone assuming Haden will be locked up on Nicks the entire game and not Cruz?

Hartline torched the browns for over 100....Victor Cruz will eat them alive if they leave Haden on Nicks all day.

1. Two words: Joe Haden
2. Not sold on Torrey Smith
3. Giants will need points to keep up with Denver
4. Division game between Cleveland/Ravens

ETA: Sounds like you've never owned Torrey Smith.
