Sources: Panthers Interested in Adding Vick?

Aug 12, 2009

Ex-con Michael Vick has heard plenty of NFL teams say publicly in the last week that they don't want anything to do with him and the bad public relations he would likely bring to any team.

But the Carolina Panthers aren't saying no: Head coach John Fox is saying that he likes the quarterbacks he has right now but he's always interested in upgrading any position. He sure seems to be saying Mike Vick would be an upgrade over Jake Delhomme(notes), Josh Mccown(notes) and Matt Moore(notes).

Meanwhile, word on the street is that Vick's bankruptcy lawyers wanted $2.66 million to do the case but dropped the fee to $1.5 million, according to the Newport News Daily Press. No wonder the guy is bankrupt.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
