Conflicting reports about Vick's Week 11 availability

Nov 18, 2011

Eagles OC Marty Mornhinweg did suggest quarterback Michael Vick could play Sunday night against the Giants at MetLife Stadium, even without practicing this week.

Vick didn't practice again on Thursday as he nurses two broken ribs sustained in last week's loss to Arizona. In his place Thursday, backup quarterback Vince Young ran the first-team offense for the second-straight day.

Still, Mornhinweg thinks Vick can take the field against the 6-3 NFC East-leading Giants.

"Yeah, he's a tough man, and I'm always optimistic with him," Mornhinweg said. "He's doing everything possible to get ready for the next game -- both in the training room as well as in the classroom."

Fantasy Impact:

It would be tough to trust Vick in Week 11 due to the risk of re-injury, but fantasy owners with no other good options can plug him in and hope for the best. Either way, this is looking like a game-time call and the Eagles play on Sunday night.

Update: The Wilmington News Journal is reporting that Vick has already been ruled out for Week 11. Stay tuned.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
