    Hard to gague an 8 team league because all the teams are going to be stacked. Just giving the teams a quick glance, I'd probably say team 1, assuming Vick stays healthy. Julio, Marshall and Nicks will all be WR1's, that owner will have a tough time deciding which two of those three to start. Arian is the best RB, and if healthy, AP will be a top 7 RB.

    The other 7 teams are pretty comparable. Obviously there are no bad teams because it is an 8 man league. I think the weakest team is Team 3, but only because their RB's are a bit weak. Trent Richardson is not a RB1, and Doug Martin is not a RB2 in a 8 team league.

    Is it PPR? If Not, Team 2 has the best starters. If Yes, then Team 4 IF Sproles starts over Turner.

    Team 1 is weak because it has 2 guys on my "Avoid at All Costs" list. (Vick, AP).

    Matthews doesn't matter, Murray is the second starter. I'm just not thrilled with 5's receivers.

    My bad

    Thought it was a league where u start more then 2rbs

    Wide outs are a little weak but rb way more important

    Between mcfadden and murray if both healthy all year you have the potential for 3000 yds and 24+tds

    Vick and AP are high-risk/high-reward guys. They will either win you your league, or kill you in your league. I don't think I'll take the chance on AP in my league only because he probably won't drop past pick 24. But if Vick is on the board at the right time, I'm thinking of taking him. I think this is the year Vick stays healthy. Players stay healthy when you least expect them too, just like Stafford last year.

    People who gauge players based off injury make no sense to me. Last year Vick was a top 5 pick in every league and people knew he was injury prone. He has an injury riddled 2011 season and now nobody wants to touch him. Yet everyone knew he was injury prone last year. Last year nobody wanted Staff because of his previous injuries, he has one healthy season and now everyone wants to take him in the top 15.

    Run DMC and Vick will both stay healthy this year.....I can feel it. I plan on taking either one of them if they fall to the right spot.

    Vick is crap and AP probably won't play full-time until Week 6, IF that soon. Both are wasted picks.

    Vick is a top 5 fantasy QB when healthy. He'll stay healthy. I heard the same crap about Stafford being injury prone last year and he made it through the season. What makes you say that about AP? From everything I've heard, he is close to returning, and should be a full go by week 3. AP at 75% is better than 75% of the starting RB's in this league.

    I don't buy into recent trends. Everyone is all over Cam's nuts after his rookie year, and no one wants anything to do with Vick after a bad 2011 season. Vick will finish with more fantasy points than Cam this year.....just watch.

    He is not even top 20. Vick has ONE (count 'em) good passing year in his career and that was only because the Eagles had the good fortune of playing many of the wort secondaries in the NFL that season. He is probably the single most overrated player in the NFL at any position, and I always smile when he is drafted early.

    Is he overrated as an NFL QB? Yes. However I'm takling about FANTASY football. And top 20, no way. Name 20 QB's right now you'd rather have over Vick. Looking forward to your list.

    He is overrated in Fantasy too. What is he good for? He doesn't even run as much as he used to. And I am not going to put my list on the forum as I have 3 drafts in the next 4 days.

    I CAN tell you that IF I had Vick on my QB list (which I don't as I dropped him entirely), I would place him 24th as of now,

    Not even going to rate a 8 team league.

    Good luck though, which ever team is yours.

    I agree, he doesn't run like he used to. A lot of that has to do with the Eagles trying to protect him, but I do believe he is an improved passer since his Atlanta days. His 2010 season was a bit of a fluke, but so was his 2011 season. I think if he stays healthy, he'll be somewhere inbetween his past two seasons as an Eagle. Last year he got absolutely no help from his WR's with DeSean Jackson "not trying hard because he didn't want to get hurt in his contract year," and Jeremy Maclin's shoulder and hamstring injuries. It looks like DJax and Maclin will be a full go.

    When it comes to Vick in fantasy, i never question is ability on the field, it just comes down to can he stay healthy.

    If you want M.Vick, you will be wasting another earlier pick for a solid back-up QB. Which you could of used for another decent RB or WR. Just not worth the worry of having M.Vick as your QB. My opinion anyway.
