BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ or 2QB Leagues
OWNED IN: 19% percent of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Vick’s first start with the Steelers wasn’t pretty, but I didn’t expect much. Being thrust into the starting role on a short week is incredibly tough. Especially so for Vick, who wasn’t signed until the end of August. Now he gets an extra long week as the Steelers play on Monday night. He’ll be more prepared and Josh McCown just threw for 350+ yards against this Chargers defense without an interception. Getting Martavis Bryant back certainly helps too.
Vick isn’t nearly as fast as he used to be but he still likes to run when he can. He ran 9 times for 33 yards last week, you can probably expect a similar number this week. Knowing how often Vick likes to run, there is definitely a possibility for a rushing touchdown as well and a nice overall floor for his points. As far as QBs that may be readily available in deeper leagues or 2QB leagues, Vick is your guy.
