This week was a success for my team in my PPR South OKC league. I was the second highest scorer in the league, and my lowest score for one of my skill players was Jimmy Graham with 12. Even Graham had an average week with a receiving touchdown and 4 receptions.
How about the Philadelphia Eagles? I would say they quickly became the main story over the weekend. I know Peyton Manning throwing seven touchdown was a big story, but everyone had their eyes on the television on Monday Night Football to see how Chip Kelly's offense was going to run in the NFL. LeSean McCoy had an excellent game with 184 rushing yards on 31 attempts.
The question that arrises for my team this week is whether or not to start Michael Vick at home against San Diego, or to start Matt Ryan at home against St. Louis. My gut feeling is for me to start Ryan. Ryan would be the safer pick, and he has been consistent for me over the past year considering he was my quarterback last season as well. The new Chip Kelly offense is intriguing to fantasy owners. Their fast pace offense allows them to ware down defenses, and the idea of the offense is to go as fast as possible and to run as many plays as possible.
As much as I would love to start Vick due to these facts I have to watch this offense another week, and I have to see Vick be able to put up fantasy points on a consistent basis. He's been so injury prone over the years that it will be interesting to see if he will be able to stay healthy throughout the season. My guess is he will at least miss 2-3 week this season due to injury. There were times in the fourth quarter Monday night where he came up limping. Unless something dramatic happens before Sunday I would recommend to start Ryan over Vick.
