I wrote about Favre yesterday, so we may as well get the other recent returning NFL star out of the way too.

You guys know not to draft Michael Vick in your redraft fantasy leagues? Right?

I'd like to think this post almost goes without saying, but I started to see Michael Vick creeping into ADP data even before the Eagles signed him. (The ADP link is somewhat misleading. Vick is still going undrafted in most leagues; check times drafted. But that number is rising.)

Look, Vick is not going to help your fantasy team in 2009. His only chance would be if Donovan McNabb suffers a season-ending injury. Even in that case, Vick isn’t guaranteed to pass Kevin Kolb on the depth chart early in the year until he learns the Philadelphia system.

Vick said it himself in his surprisingly impressive introductory news conference: he's a long way from being ready to start a NFL game. He has to "crawl before he walks."

Quarterback is such a deep, fungible position in fantasy leagues that it's just not worth drafting a backup "just in case" unless you have a ridiculous amount of roster spots - like 20 or more.

This isn't a moral thing; I'd draft Vick in a heartbeat if the Vikings signed him to start instead of Favre.

Vick may be a regular part of the Philadelphia offense in time, but he'll never be worth putting in your lineup unless he's starting games. His keeper league value is a post for another time, but redraft league owners who take Vick are wasting a roster spot.

And asking for heckling from the other guys in the room.
