Not a good week for either of them. That makes for a tough trade. I say trade for Vick though. He's a multidimensional player. If your league gives you points for rushing yards, scoop him up.
Michael Vick has struggled in his last two games, and that should continue here. The Ravens have the kind of defense that makes things tough on quarterbacks; they have an aggressive secondary, and they bring a lot of pressure. For the season, they're allowing opponents to complete only 53 percent of their passes (3rd-lowest in the league), with twice as many interceptions (18) as touchdowns (9). They also rank among the leaders with 25 sacks. And with a lot of speed at linebacker, they're one of the few defenses that Vick might not run very successfully against. When Atlanta played Baltimore four years ago, Vick completed only 12 of 24 passes and finished with minus-5 rushing yards on his seven rushing attempts. In his three preseason appearances against them since that time, Vick has completed only 2 of 7 passes and run for only 8 yards on 2 carries, with 1 interception, 1 lost fumble and one broken leg. So this definitely looks like a game where he might put up some of his worst numbers of the season.
Manning is struggling. He's thrown only 2 TDs and completed just 52 percent of his passes in his last three games, and all of those were in the friendly confines of Giants Stadium. He hasn't thrown for even 180 yards in any of those games. Tough to see him rebounding on the road against one of the league's better defenses. The Jaguars have been especially tough at home, allowing only 4 TDs -- and a total of 37 points -- in five games. They also shut down a good Eagles offense in Philadelphia back in week 8. Manning is also dealing with the loss of Amani Toomer, out for the season with a knee injury, and will now be without left tackle Luke Petitgout, who broke his fibula last week and should miss the remainder of the season. One thing that can be said for Manning is that being on the road might help his game somewhat. The winds at the Meadowlands can wreak havoc with passing games; poor weather has been a factor in Manning's lesser numbers of late. Manning has posted far better numbers on the road thus far: 5 TDs and 4 interceptions in five home games, versus 10 TDs and 7 interceptions in four road games. With that said, though, only one of those four opponents, Dallas in week 7, had a defense the caliber of Jacksonville's. Don't expect big numbers from Manning in this one.

Not sure why you would.
Michael Vick has struggled this season against some of the worst passing defenses in the league, he's up and down.
Manning has a tough matchup this week but will be solid the rest of the season. I'd stay with Manning.

I would make that trade in less than a second.
It's all about the points and nothing more. In my ESPN league Vick is ranked 5th, Eli is ranked 13th.
This is going to vary depending on how points in your league are set-up. Check on how many points each QB has in your league and how many points they are averaging per game.
I'm pretty confident that Vick has quite a bit more points in your league than Eli.

i think you shoudl because surprisingly vick has been throwing the ball more...
Most of the points from the offense is through running with tiki and brandon but eli still finds plaxico open in the end zone...for this week its not a good idea to get vick...vick is gonna be sacked all over the place by the blitzing ravens defense...
best of luck!

It's kind of a toss up. Manning has more weapons to throw too, but Vick can get yardage on his own. I would probably stick w/ Eli simply because he has gone through a rough stretch and is due to come out of it.

I say no, at least with Manning you know you will get a pretty consistent player everyweek. With Vick he will explode one week and have very few points the next. If you want to play it safe go with Manning, if you want the risk go with Vick.

No way! crabtree is a second tire wide receiver on an unwinning passing offense and without operating interest for the broncos the passing interest is going to decline, quickly. while Mcfadden is oone of the finest RB's contained in the league today and Micheal Vick is the backbone to the Eagles offense and could be decrease back quickly!

NO!!! That is a horrible deal! Eli is just in a little slump, he'll pull out of it. Vick has never really produced (throwing) consistantly enough to be a fantasy starter.

depends on your scoring
for instance, in my league, there are no negative points...so INTs dont hurt...theres also an emphasis on yards, especially rushing yards
in my league vick is a way better qb than eli

I'd say no, especially if you're considering starting one of them this week; I just wouldn't want my QB to face B-more's D... ever!
