Sitting Vick not best of fantasy decisions

Principled, stubborn, or stupid.

Which of those apply to my fantasy football strategy is best left for others to decide, but I doubt that very many teams let Michael Vick sit idle last week.

As I've mentioned previously, I snatched Vick off waivers just after Kevin Kolb's head bounced off the turf in Game 1. And despite having a tough time getting over the flashy quarterback's past behavior, I've rationalized having Vick on the roster - yet not playing him - by figuring that at least he can't beat me.

Well, all those points I left on the pine, as Vick threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth against Jacksonville, cost me both a tight game and week-high honors. And to add some spice to this week's lineup decision, my normal starting QB is . . . Donovan McNabb.

But moving on to more global issues, after three games it's time to reevaluate draft-day decisions and try to adjust accordingly.

For instance, Brett Favre could have been expected to have a slow start, but just two TD passes and six interceptions while averaging fewer than 200 passing yards are Trent Edwards numbers. So if you latched onto Favre calculating that he would approximate his huge 2009 numbers, what do you do?

This week, the decision is easy. Favre's Vikings have their bye, so that gives Favre owners an opportunity to play their backups without the apprehension that this is the week the old guy throws for 350 yards and four touchdowns. But Favre owners have to consider going after a mid-tier passer, such as Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck or Miami's Chad Henne, either off waivers or in a trade as a replacement.

Philly guy going to Vegas. Carl Kunda of Northeast Philadelphia was the third weekly qualifier in FanDuel.com's Fantasy Football Championship to compete for a $25,000 prize in Las Vegas in December. Participants pay $10 and pick a team of eight players and a defense while staying under a salary cap. Weekly top point-getters over the first 10 weeks of the NFL season will be sent to Vegas for a championship showdown. Putting Kunda, 24, over the top was Baltimore WR Anquan Boldin's 142 yards and three TDs.
