Before his ACL injuries he was faster than Nicks. Nicks is not what you would call a fast WR.

Hixon has the skills to be a starter on this team. Injuries haven't helped.. I see a big week for him.

I would look for both Cruz and Hixon to have 150+ yards against the Browns

The only way we have two receivers with +150, is if we are chasing a big lead for most of the game. Kind of like the Tampa game. I surely hope that is not the case this week against a team like the Browns.

Can you please provide some proof to back this statement up?

It's not a knock on Nicks. He is just not what you wold call a speedy WR.

Are the Browns better than the Panthers, defensively?

Can not say I've seen them a lot this year but the played the hard against the Ravens. I mean they keep losing games that are closely contested.
