Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Michael Vick has been open in his opinion he isn't part of a true quarterback competition this summer. He continued his outspoken ways, telling reporters it feels a "little premature" to be categorized as a backup. "I want to make myself clear: Geno knows exactly what his expectations and his role is," said Mornhinweg, according to Newsday. "Mike knows exactly what his expectations and role is." Mornhinweg added that Vick has a "great responsibility" and needs to be ready "to play at a high level." Bottom line? As much as fantasy football owners might prefer the alternative, Smith has the inside track to remain the starting quarterback entering the season. If he falters, Vick will replace him.
