Report: Eagles 'likely' benching Mike Vick

Oct 29, 2012

Eagles coach Andy Reid met with coaches after game on Sunday to discuss QB situation. Met again Mon morning. I'm told likely QB change to Nick Foles.

Fantasy Impact:

Eskin is quite close to the Eagles, so the report should be taken seriously. However, another beat writer in the know, Reuben Frank, said Michael Vick remains the starter for now. Andy Reid's news conference was postponed Monday due to Hurricane Sandy, so we won't know more until Tuesday or Wednesday.

As for Foles, he performed well in the preseason but we all know the regular season is a different animal. At least a few of the Eagles' losses can be pin-pointed to Vick's turnovers. With plenty of weapons to work with, Foles could immediately have some fantasy value, at least in deep leagues, with the potential to be a low-end QB1. If he starts, Foles would face one of the worst passing defenses in the league in the Saints this week.

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.
