I skirted around direct fantasy talk in my larger post above, so NBCSports.com will use the post. But fantasy leaguers are in a similar position to the Falcons, albeit the stakes are a wee bit smaller.

We also need a quick decision to know how to address Vick. Until we know more, though, Vick has dropped from a calculated risk to a brazen risk. I'm a risk taker in fantasy leaguers when the potential is great, so I still haven't closed my mental door completely on Vick. I'd still think about taking a flier on Vick as my QB2 or QB3 in the final few rounds over a WR6 or RB5 if Vick was available. He'd be worth it if he played even half the season. If not, half of the flier picks you take that late don't survive the year on your roster.

Perhaps a greater impact in fantasy leagues will be on the rest of the Falcons receivers and running backs. Vick has his faults, but I trust he'd move the offense better than Joey Harrington.

Of course all this analyis will be obsolete the moment further developments occur in the Vick case. Unless you have a draft in the next few weeks, we should have a better handle on how to approach draft day.
