MrTed46 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I just acquired Vick from a trade. I am curious to see how many others use him as a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 In a free league i'm in with some guys I work with from all over the country, yes Where $$$ is involved, to me, he's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hell yeah, I'm a proud owner in two leagues and start him in both. Let everyone else chuckle about his awful passing totals while he continues to rack up fantasy points with his legs. As an NFL QB he sucks, as a fantasy QB he will probably finish top 5-10 (maybe higher). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Trick Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 1 out of 5 leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Furley Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 One league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 One league I drafted him as my 2nd QB. He is now my starter since QB #1 (Warner ) is out. I am starting Vick proudly though. 6pts per rushing TD makes me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BYoder Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I start him on one league. I drafted him as my #2 but he became my starter when Trent Green went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 NEVER. I'd draft Aaron Brooks(cue Captainhook to comment ) before I'd draft Vick. My never draft list Vick Dayne TO Jamal Randy Moss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def. Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 1 League he is, course the league gives 5 pt bonus at 50 rush yds for QBs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 One league I drafted him as my 2nd QB. He is now my starter since QB #1 (Warner ) is out. I am starting Vick proudly though. 6pts per rushing TD makes me Exact same situation I'm in. Oddly enough a friend of mine in my local is also in the same boat. Must have been a common low-round QB combo in drafts. At any rate, my backup now is Alex Smith, although I might still be able to grab Carr, Brunell, or Lohsman if I needed to. Carr may not be that bad an option for #2 QB either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaGamblers Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 1pt for every 10 yards rushing in my Dynasty league - Vick is worth starting most of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Score 1 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Yes & I'm 5 & 0 with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFreak Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 NEVER. I'd draft Aaron Brooks(cue Captainhook to comment ) before I'd draft Vick. My never draft list Vick Dayne TO Jamal Randy Moss I'll admit that's a great "never draft" list but Vick is providing great value so far this year and is a legitimate starter.

Carr may not be that bad an option for #2 QB either. I dropped Warner, so now my QBs in order are: Vick Kitna Brad Johnson Not bad. Between the three one of them will always have a favorable matchup.

Randall Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'll admit that's a great "never draft" list but Vick is providing great value so far this year and is a legitimate starter. He is but when I had him he let me down so much I just didn't want him anymore. He may be consistent finally but it just came a little too late for me. He's been very good this year, I just didn't want him anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsOut Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I am amazed at how undervalued Vick is in fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 for once, I'll proudly admit I am starting him... ..with Schaub stashed on the roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 No shame in using Vick in fantasy. In those leagues, he actually IS an above-average QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsOut Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Vick is going to run holes through that Giants Swiss Cheese D this weekend, I'll tell you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malta69 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I actually just traded for him in my work league today. I was growing tired of living dangerously at 3-2 with the Kitna/Pennington combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentw Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Own him in one of seven leagues and its the only leauge I am 5-0! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagHomer Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Have him starting in 1 league after my #1 got his butt benched(Warner)...Now have Alex Smith backing him up.....In this league we get 1pt for every 10yds rushing and 3pt bonus for 100yds(13pts) vs. 300yds passing at 1pt for 25yds(12pts). All i can say is RUN VICK RUN!!!! Any passing yards and passing TDs are a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Own him in one of 4 leagues. Starting him over Delhomme this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12inchDitka Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Have never owned him, but he just got dropped in my league and I am considering picking him up. Losing McNair wouldn't hurt much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
