Don’t look now, but oft-maligned Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is back on the radar in fantasy leagues with his spot-on preseason play. In what amounts to one full game, Vick has amassed 383 yds yards in the air with 3 tds and 2 interceptions. He has 73 yds on the ground, too. He’s only rushed for over 5,000 in his career.

Vick, who not a month ago was battling for his position with Nick Foles, has a firm grip on the starting job and looks as quick as ever. His offensive line has improved greatly, and that is a boon to a quarterback who took more than his share of licks last year. Not to say that Vick doesn’t put himself in harm’s way, but a stout line will give him more time to operate. Dude had to wear bullet-proof vests in 2012.

Vick’s strong play as of late hasn’t gone unnoticed, and his ADP should rise accordingly over the next few days. This is unfortunate, as he could be gotten for dirt cheap a week ago. What is helpful is that now the quarterback field is even deeper, and you can concentrate on other positions a little while longer in standard leagues. Vick could very well have first or second-round value as the, on current average, the 14th quarterback off the board.

  1. Vick or Bradford in 6 point passing TD league as QB2? both on waiver wire and I already own Jay Cutler.

    How much value does Vick have as a QB2 in one QB leagues this season? He is falling in drafts and seems like a guy I might take late. I just wonder if there will be any trade market for QBs this year?

    Obv also worried about injury and that dink and dunk passing game. Seems like NFL defenses might sit on those routes and squash that deal pretty quickly. Thoughts?
