How could they justify playing Nicks over Manningham after his play this year so far?
Steve Smith is the #1 for NYG (which Cliff Levingston called 3 weeks before the season started) and will see the most targets, but Manningham is a really nice complement along side him. Since they use Boss so much as a blocker, most of Eli's targets are going to go to either Smith or Manningham until Nicks proves that he's better. Unless Manningham starts sucking, it'll be tough for Nicks to get that opportunity.
I meant he would be # 3 rather than #4 behind Hixon, not #2. I agree with you that Smith is #1 and Manningham is #2.
