Hakeem Nicks Fantasy News

Friday, June 14, 2013, 10:53am

The player Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride gushed about following the team's brief walkthrough Thursday morning was second-year wideout Rueben Randle.

"Rueben you saw emerge from a guy that showed flashes at times and always caught the ball well, but maybe didn't always run the routes as precisely, as crisply as you wanted, didn't have quite the understanding you wanted," Gilbride said. "[Over the past month] he looked like a guy that's been here for five or six years. He really benefited from the opportunity."

Hakeem Nicks reports to camp, won't hold out

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks has reported to the team's mandatory minicamp.

Update: Nicks confirmed that he won't hold out for a new contract.

Hakeem Nicks did not report to mandatory minicamp

Neither Giants WR, Hakeem Nicks nor Victor Cruz, showed up for team physicals today before start of Tuesday's minicamp.

Victor Cruz is eventually going to sign a contract and Hakeem Nicks will soon show up to work, no matter how worrisome those situations may seem.

The reality is big contracts rarely get done until there’s a deadline — such as June 17 when the Giants can reduce Cruz’s tender offer from $2.879 million to $630,000. There remains optimism on both sides that a deal will eventually be reached, and it’s a pretty good bet that he’ll either have a new contract or sign his tender by then

Hakeem Nicks not worried about contract (yet)

While Victor Cruz is in talks with Giants, WR Hakeem Nicks is in no hurry to ramp up talks. He'd be OK waiting until after the season.

Hakeem Nicks skipped first OTA practice
Thursday, May 23, 2013, 1:27pm

There were two conspicuous no-shows to the Giants’ first on-field OTA of the offseason on Wednesday. And only one of them had a good explanation.

Nobody – not Tom Coughlin or Eli Manning or any other Giants player – expected Victor Cruz to show up as he continues to battle with the team over a long-term contract extension. But fellow wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was supposed to be in uniform and on the field, working with “limitations” according to Coughlin.

Instead, the receiver pulled a stunning disappearing act, with absolutely no explanation.

“I don’t know,” Coughlin said, when asked why Nicks wasn’t at the practice facility. “He should be here . . . I expect everybody here. We’re trying to get our team better.”

WR Ramses Barden has officially signed back with the Giants, according to a source.

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks said he hasn't had any problems with the knee that vexed him throughout last season, and that he's feeling "as good as I've felt in awhile."

Giants QB Eli Manning, along with older brother Peyton, is working out at Duke University this week, according to ESPN. The Mannings are there with Duke coach David Cutcliffe, a college coach of both brothers, as well as three Giants and three Broncos teammates.

Manning brought Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and recently signed Louis Murphy, per ESPN. The Giants offseason program begins next Monday, and Manning hopes Cruz is working alongside him in East Rutherford as well.

Hakeem Nicks has scope on left knee
Friday, February 22, 2013, 6:17pm

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks had a scope on the left knee he injured in Week 2 against the Buccaneers. Nicks suggested he may have suffered the injury, in part, because he was compensating for pain in the right foot he fractured last spring. Nicks missed three games with the foot and knee injuries, but was considerably slowed by both for the balance of the season.

Giants WR Rueben Randle did finish his rookie year well, including a four-catch, two-touchdown performance in the season-ending victory over Philadelphia. He caught 19 passes in 16 games – 10 of them in 2 games (6 vs. Cleveland and 4 vs. Philadelphia). Clearly, he needs to provide more consistent production. But the Giants believe he will do that as an NFL sophomore. Right now, Randle is the heavy favorite to be the Giants’ third wideout in 2013, with Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz as the starters. Assuming his stays healthy, I would be very surprised if Randle didn’t at least double his number of reception next season.

Before Week 4 doctors told Giants WR Hakeem Nicks that he'd need 6-8 weeks of rest to fully heal.

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks (knee) didn't do a whole lot in Thursday's practice, HC Tom Coughlin said.

Giants HC Tom Coughlin sounds encouraged about Ahmad Bradshaw. Not so much about Hakeem Nicks. He didn't do a whole lot, Coughlin said.
