| Fantasy Analysis |
Nicholas already established a new career high in stops this season, a total that he has built to 91 with one game remaining. He has an outside chance to reach the 100-tackle plateau for the first time in his career, but he remains more of a low-end Fantasy IDP option.

| Stephen Nicholas led the Falcons in tackling with a career-high 97 total tackles, adding a pair of sacks, a forced fumble, four passes defensed and an interception in 2012. Though those numbers were great for him, they didn't put him among the best linebackers in Fantasy. He'll need an even better season in 2013 to be more relevant in Fantasy, and seeing as how he's turning 30 before Week 1, he's a longshot to be helpful. Spend a late pick on Nicholas in deeper drafts. (Updated 4/26/13) |
