Jets plan to stick with Michael Vick

Nov 03, 2014

Jets HC Rex Ryan said Michael Vick would be back at quarterback next weekend as they try to avoid making it nine in a row.

Vick started for the first time this season and made one big improvement over the previous week by not turning the ball over at all in the 24-10 loss. He completed 21-of-28 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown, which was enough to keep him in the job despite the fact that he couldn’t move the offense when the game was still in doubt in the second half.

“I thought he played well, so we’ll give him another shot against Pittsburgh,” Ryan said, via ESPNNewYork.com. “As long as he’s healthy.”

Fantasy Impact:

As the story also pointed out, the health proviso makes sense since Vick left the game for a short time in the fourth quarter after banging his head on the turf after taking a hit, but he returned to the game after passing through evaluation for a concussion and earned the chance to run the show again next week.

A quick update on Raiders quarterback Gardner Minshew: he suffered a broken collarbone against the Broncos and is out for the season.

Fantasy Impact:

We had just posted the quote from head coach Antonio Pierce, saying it didn’t look good. It turned out it wasn’t good. Minshew looked like he was in a lot of pain after taking the his late in the game. Now we have an understanding of that pain. Desmond Ridder came on in relief and the team is expected to activate Aidan O’Connell this week from injured reserve. The Raiders visit Kansas City on Friday.

Antonio Pierce on Gardner Minshew injury: ‘It doesn’t look good.’

Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce said “It doesn’t look good” in regards to the shoulder injury to quarterback Gardner Minshew.

Fantasy Impact:

Minshew went down late in the game against the Broncos after taking a sack and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He’ll undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury.

Desmond Ridder came on in replacement. He went 5-of-10 for 64 yards and was sacked twice. If Minshew is to miss time, which looks very likely, the Raiders may look to see what they have in the former Falcons quarterback. Vegas is also expected to have Aidan O’Connell back this week. The Raiders are on a short week as they head to Kansas City on Black Friday.

Romeo Doubs ruled out with concussion

Green Bay Packers

Packers WR Romeo Doubs was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the 49ers with a concussion.

Fantasy Impact:

Doubs suffered the injury while attempting a catch in the end zone and landing hard on the back of his helmet. Doubs will not return tonight and it’s almost certain he’ll be ruled out for Thursday night against the Dolphins. If that’s the case, his next chance to return would be the following Thursday against the Lions.
