Fantasy Fans Don't Get Excited with Michael Vick's Return

Michael Vick is undoubtedly one of the most controversial players in the NFL off and on the playing field. On the playing field he is nothing less of phenomenal - from the early upset of various teams in the NFL to establishing himself as one of the reliable players in the league, the 1st round pick of Falcons is certainly making strikes in the league.
Unfortunately, his reputation off the court is not according to his stellar performance. His dog fighting ring has been frowned by millions of fans worldwide. He has paid for these bad decisions dearly, he lost millions of dollars in endorsements and payments and his return will never get him back in his glory days again.

But NFL has been good to its players and Michael Vick has been the recipient. The good commissioner will now allow Michael Vick to play again for the NFL as soon as a team will sign him up for the league. There have been some rumors on which team will be eager to work with him. But nothing is certain until a team or the Vick through his agent announces that he will be part of NFL for the 2009-2019 NFL Season.

The news about Vick playing for the Eagles for one season has spread like wildfire. Because of the powerful and "constant on mode" of the internet, the news spread very fast. In less than an hour, the news about Vick playing for the Eagles is known by every NFL and American Football fan around the world. This has garnered reactions from players and fans not only from Philadelphia but also around the NFL. If you ask the players around the league, everyone is excited to have him back while fans have mixed reactions.

Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles

If you're a fantasy player, the hype and talk about Michael Vick should not get you excited that you will change your roster to accommodate the returning player to the NFL. What you should remember is that Michael Vick will most likely become the 2nd or 3rd QB of the Eagles. Some speculated that the Eagles panicked when they learned that Kolb was injured. But his injury will never last for more than a month and he will be ready when the season starts. The team has already indicated that Vick will never take over the job of McNabb and Kolb which means the former great QB will be on the sideline for the rest of the season.

There have been reports that Vick will be the Tight End for the Eagles. This is rumored to be true since Vick has been seen practicing for this position for some time when he showed up during practice. Although Eagles and Falcons have the same offensive plan, it's no use getting Vick on TE because of the defense he will be facing. Besides, he can still be a great part of the team because of his knowledge and experience of the game. If there's anyone who can personally tell McNabb what to do to outsmart other teams, Vick would be the man.
