Michael Vick takes lead in QB battle?

Aug 01, 2013

For the first time this summer, there was a no-doubt, clear-cut winner on the field in the Eagles' quarterback competition. Michael Vick won the day by a mile.

Vick hit DeSean Jackson for two long touchdowns, one early in practice and the other on the final play of the day. The practice-ending play was a 35-yard strike to the corner of the end zone where a well-covered Jackson went up over Trevard Lindley for the score.

While Vick was having a standout day, Nick Foles looked average and Matt Barkley struggled.

Foles has seemed to hit a speed bump in his attempt to win the competition. Ever since the pad went on Sunday he hasn't looked the same. He's held onto the ball a bit longer and been less decisive.

Fantasy Impact:

It sounds as if the QB battle has shifted in Vick's favor since camp started. He would make an interesting QB2 if he wins the job.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
