Vick or Brees

I never thought I'd have this problem. I grabbed Vick right after his Week 1 breakout and he's been sitting on my bench racking up points. I offered to trade him but the best offer I got was Shiancoe on Minny straight up for Vick...glad I refused that.

Now my only problem is I've got Brees as my starting QB. I just can't put him on the bench, but Vick has been outscoring him by about 10 points each week. I think Brees is far more consistant but Vick has the potential to win a week totally on his own...who's the better play?

One of the classic rules of fantasy football...

you never bench your studs

People are going to start figuring out Vick...might not be this week, but it will happen. Philly's defense is stinking so they're being forced to put up serious points. It won't last.

i think you're good playing either.

guy in my league drafted P. Manning in the first round and then picked up Vick off waivers just like you. He wants to trade him, but no one is biting. the points put up by those two are almost the same in that league right now.

you did right trying to trade him. probably the #1 trade guy right now. sucks you didnt get any value for the offer.

Brightside: With Brees health in question, you are sitting nice with Vick on your bench. Hang on to him. Dont trade him for a TE. Brees might be hurt worse than anyone knows. Or, he might get hurt in the near future. Madden Curse and all. Of course, with my bias, i hope not.

Got a couple other offers today:

Vick for Vernon Davis

Vick for Hines Ward and Steve Smith

My starting WR's are MSW, Wes Welker, Larry Fitz. Guy with Vernon Davis has Anquan Boldin (who I'd trade straight up for Vick for the flex position)

I'm starting Vick this week. Panthers D has picked off a lot of passes between Eli and Carson Palmer, and Vick is playing a horrible Redskins D. Might be the only week besides Brees bye that I start him. I think I'm gunna hold onto him. My backup was Eli Manning and I just dropped him. Brett Favre is in the waiver wire if I need a backup...

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
