PPR WR5 - Nicks vs Rueben vs Wheaton vs Hawkins

Questions

I currently have Hakeem Nicks as my WR5 but considering dropping him for Rueben, Wheaton, or Hawkins. Thoughts? Also what order would you put them in? (1st waiver wire after draft so not sure how active people will be.)

Also, any other thoughts on improving my roster?

Thanks!!

My team:
QB: C. Newton, A. Dalton
RB: M. Forte, G. Bernard, A. Ellington, P. Thomas, K. Carey
WR: D. Bryant, R. White, K. Allen, B. Cooks, H. Nicks
TE: G. Olsen, L. Green
D: Bengals
K: D. Bailey

(Full point PPR - 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (RB/WR/TE))

I would drop Nicks for Rueben Randle all day all night.

how bout if Randle isn't available? Would you drop Nicks for either Wheaton or Hawkins?

I'm not on Wheaton, but Hawkins would be tempting. I'd probably stick with Nicks if I couldn't get Randle. He and Luck seemed to connect in pre-season but he's an injury waiting to happen just like his other ex-Giant teammate.

i agree with mike. eli has always liked to look at his big receiver in the red zone with fades (a la plaxico and most recently nicks who wasn't even that big) randle is a big guy at 6'4" and can win the jump ball. also i highly doubt that the giants aren't going to take shots down the field, even tho the offense is west coast now, and randle has shown he can burn someone deep
