The Colts offense spiraled out of control in Week 16. Nicks managed to lead the team in receiving. We break down the fantasy implications.
Hakeem Nicks caught a season-high nine receptions for 72 yards on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Nicks led the team in targets (11) and finished with his highest receiving totals for the year.
With T.Y. Hilton out for Week 16, Nicks saw an uptick in his workload. He stills remains the fourth or fifth option when the full Colts offense is healthy.
Fantasy impact: Making Nicks the team's leading receiver was probably not what owners envisioned when they found out Hilton would miss this matchup. Nicks caught several quick passes on designed screen plays, but he failed to do miuch after the catch.
Donte Mocrief was the one most fantasy players expected to thrive with Hilton out. Moncrief finished with two receptions for 5 yards. Andrew Luck was also replaced by Matt Hasselbeck. Indianapolis chose a bad week to take a trip to bizzaro world. Nicks won't have the same impact for Week 17. Owners should continue ignoring him.
