Eagles Will Use Michael Vick as Third Quarterback

Oct 16, 2010

Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid had said on Friday that quarterback Kevin Kolb will start against the Falcons. The fact that Michael Vick took only limited practice reps this week reinforces that view.

But with Vick listed as questionable, the question is whether he'll be No. 2 or No. 3 on the depth chart. Vick is expected to be the third man, which means that he most likely won't play.

Each team can designate an emergency quarterback above the 45-man roster, but the emergency quarterback's ability to enter the game is restricted. Before the fourth quarter, if the emergency quarterback plays, the other quarterbacks can't return.

That said, Vick surely wants to play against his former team - and the Eagles surely could use him.

Fantasy Impact:

Expect Kevin Kolb to go the distance unless he looks as dreadful as Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russell. The Eagles will want to get Vick completely healthy before they put him back on the field.

Raiders RB Alexander Mattison set to return Week 15, Sincere McCormick still starting

Levi Edwards

Antonio Pierce stated that Sincere McCormick will remain the team’s starting running back even with Alexander Mattison nearing a return this week.

“He deserves it. … He has run his tail off.”

Related Players: Ameer Abdullah

Fantasy Impact:

At 2-11, the Raiders would be silly to not see what they have in McCormick, with 31-year-old Abdullah and Mattison, who is on a one-year contract, only there to give the former UDFA a breather. Consider McCormick a volume-based RB3.

Giants QB Drew Lock in walking boot, Tommy DeVito set to start Week 15

Giants HC Brian Daboll told reporters that QB Drew Lock is in a walking boot due to a heel injury and Tommy DeVito now is expected to start Sunday vs. the Ravens.

Fantasy Impact:

The Ravens path to an overall D/ST1 finish on the week becomes a little clearer. DeVito can safely be kept on benches in SuperFlex leagues on a week with zero byes.

Bills WR Keon Coleman, TE Dalton Kincaid return to practice ahead of Week 15

Good news on the way for Buffalo: Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) are expected to practice fully today. A positive step forward in advance of the showdown with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact:

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, as he takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

As for Coleman, he's more in the boom/bust WR4 range as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.
