2009 Outlook: Fantasy Handcuff

Now that we are a few days past the shocking announcement that the Eagles signed Michael Vick, we have a little better understanding of how the coupling came to be and more importantly, how #7 will be deployed. First and foremost, there is no QB competition, nor should there be as long as Donovan McNabb (who pushed for the franchise to sign Vick) remains upright. Barring any setback -- and to this point it has not been made clear if or how rusty he is -- Vick will become the number two QB and even at that role, he has some value as a McNabb handcuff. The Eagles are making noise about lining Vick up in several different spots along the formation and if he can still get up to top speed, clearly he would be a scary threat. Of course, that will not likely matter to fantasy owners unless Vick gets in the lineup. If he does, there will be a mad dash to grab Vick off the waver wires, so consider holding onto him in advance if you have the space.
