Fantasy Football Playoffs: Vick or Young?

Question

To be honest, both QB's have gotten me some great points this year but both have been somewhat inconsistent with Vick being the more inconsistent of the 2.

Atlanta plays Dallas
Tennessee plays Jacksonville

Jacksonville has a good defense but they too are inconsistent. Atlanta may be playing from behind in later stages of the game since their defense isnt very good.

Who would you use as your QB and why? I want better answers than "Vick is a God" or "Jaguars defense rules!!" etc...

Thanks

Answer 1

Fantasy Football has nothing to do with real football. Think about what sort of stats the players will put up. Vince Young wins football games, but he hasn't really put up any stats. Mike Vick doesn't seem to have the winning touch, but he consistently puts up numbers.

JAX defense has been terrific against the pass all year, including last week against the Colts.

Dallas has a relatively weak pass D - Look at the gaudy numbers Brees put up last week. Vick is no Brees, but he'll have a day.

Yahoo's Big Rotowski picks Vick as the #4 QB this week and Young as somewhere in the teens.

Answer 2

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Look, any sane person would realize Vick is inconsistent. That being said, both Dunn and Norwood are questionable with Norwood being more probable. Parcells knows this so he will try to make Vick beat them. Knowing that the run game for the Falcons is questionable, Parcells is going to crowd the line and bum rush Vick or at least spy on him a great deal.

Tenessee has their running game working right now and Young has been more consistent than Vick. Plus the added incentive that he can run like Vick as well.

Sure the Falcons have better receivers, but they also have Vick at QB. Parcells will be playing to keep themselves in playoff contention. I say go with Young. The Jaguars RB's are playing injured as well so it will be a throwing game and Garrard is unproven so Tennessee will have the ball more.

Answer 3

Start Michael Vick.
This is a week where you weigh your options with Vince Young; if you have a good QB in Vick in a matchup where you know he'll have a good day, you should probably go with him over Young since this is not a favorable matchup for the rookie. Dallas' pass defense has been their Achilles' heel, but they will let Vick run all over them, so expect a big day from Michael Vick against the Dallas Cowboys.

Answer 4

I have the same two quarterbacks on one of my teams. I've been taking Vick and, for the last three or four weeks anyway, regreting it. Vick had a good sort of middle part of the season, but he's been fading. It's possible he'll wake up on Sunday, but I think Young is the better choice right now.

Answer 5

QB: McNabb can no longer do properly this 365 days, youthful is a real threat. RB: Dillon is a back-up at best alongside with Martin (he will be sharing the burden lots this 365 days). Williams will be a sleeper, yet it truly is not any longer reliable adequate... you ought to have qualiy deptch at RB to achieve success. WR: i like the handcuff on Smith and Johnson. Hines Ward is yet another good p.c... TE: Alge Crumpler is outstanding, i imagine you ought to p.c.. somebody else up it truly is more desirable ideal than Bubba Franks. ok: Kasay is fantastic. DEF: Bears are a reliable p.c...

Answer 6

i say you go with Vick because of his ability to make things happy and the fact that jacksonville is now in the race for the playoffs and they will start playing Better

Answer 7

I'd say neither...but if you have to choose between the two, say Michael Vick. He has better passing potential and MUCH MUCH MUCH better receivers.
