Michael Vick: Eagles Star QB Becoming an Unreliable Fantasy Start

After throwing three interceptions during an atrocious first half against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, Michael Vick is becoming less-and-less reliable for fantasy owners.

Vick threw for 112 yards and one touchdown, to go along with three big interceptions, putting the Eagles at a 21-7 deficit at the half.

This year Vick has either had huge games for owners, or he has been injured and left the game early. Now he gives us this three interception, first half performance that has put his reliability factor at an all-time low.

If Vick can't get his act together in the next few games, Vick's owners would be smart to sit the once dominant fantasy threat, and put their backup in—whoever that may be.

Vick's early season injuries could be to blame for what looks like a lack of confidence on the field at times.

Vick had a prime opportunity before the first half ended, after the Eagles intercepted a throw from Buffalo Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, giving the Eagles the ball on the Bills 30-yard line.

Vick went onto blow the chance, waiting too long in the pocket looking for an open receiver and letting the clock run out before getting the ball out of bounds.

If Vick and the Eagles are to have any more success this year—and if there is any hope fantasy owners will benefit from this—Vick must go back to the Vick we knew last year who wasn't afraid to leave the pocket and create plays himself.

Sure, he might get injured again, but what good is a healthy Vick on the field if he is not playing the game the way only he can?
