Jeff, why do you consistantly have Micheal Vick so high in your rankings? I'm a Vick owner and since his 4 game stretch, I have been nothing but disappointed. I still think he can be effective, but man...I think his completion percentage has to be dead last or close to it. I did get 170 yards rushing from him last week, but I'm reasonably sure he has not lived up to his ranking in the last few weeks. I'm not knocking the list, just him. My Quarterback decision is always a tough one when Vick is high and Rivers isnt far behind.

I agree. I'm surprised that QBs such as McNair, Grossman, Rivers is lower than Vick. Heck, Vick needs to probably be around the vicinity of Eli Manning on that list.

I'm surprised too that you don't have Chad Johnson in the top 3. IMO, it should be something like 1. Chad Johnson, 2. Steve Smith, 3. Reggie Wayne.

I like your TE rankings.

I'm also surprised on ranking Miami 3rd...

It's just a matter of the match-up. The Redskins are 27th against the pass and have given up a league-high 21 TDs passes.

I agree that he's not getting the job done on the field, but did manage over 250 total yards last week, which I had figured -- just didn't expect most of it to come on the ground.

While he made some bad passes, there were a lot of drops as well. If 2-3 of those catchable balls were caught, he would have had a TD or two, 300+ total yards and the media would be treating him differently.

I'm not a fan of his and I go out of my way not to own him. But the difference between him being junk and a servicable starting fantasy QB (8-12 average weekly rank) is minute right now. I just doesn't sound like it listening too the media and when you focus strongly on his faults.

It's just a guess, but since he plays TB next week, he will have a favorable placement then, too. But in Weeks 15 and 16 (Dallas and Carolina), I think he will be rated a lot lower.

Bottom line -- it's mainly the opponent.

I see you have Sammy Morris and Deshaun Foster pretty low on your list. which is a better option this week? I already f*cked up and used Chris Henry in my flex (on accident, I meant to change it) so I really need the guy who is going to have a big game this week.

Deshaun Foster vs Philly
Sammy Morris vs Jax
