He will finish as a top 10 fantasy QB again, but as usual be prepared for huge swings in production from week to week.
That's a fantasy myth with no basis in reality. Michael Vick is actually far more consistant than about half of the QBs being drafted in front of him. He's no Peyton Manning or Aaron Brooks, but he's no Eli Manning, either.I wouldn't worry in the slightest about having Vick as my #1 QB. I've had him as my #1 for two straight years now, and finished with the best record in my league for two straight years now. I actually like him better this year than I did the last two years, but as fate would have it, this is the first year in a while where I don't have him headlining my squad. It's a pity, really. I was growing rather fond of having him around.
Eh?

The Good:
Week 3: 167 passing yards -- 2 passing TDs/1 INT -- 64 rushing (even if it's the Bills)
Week 9: 228 passing yards -- 1 passing TD -- 38 rushing
Week 10: 209 passing yards -- 2 passing TDs -- 20 rushing -- 1 rushing TD -- 3 fumbles (despite the fumbles)
Week 11: 306 passing yards -- 2 passing TDs -- 17 rushing yards -- 1 fumble
Week 12: 146 passing yards -- 2 passing TDs/1 INT -- 57 rushing yards (similar to week 3)
Week 14: 231 passing yards -- 1 passing TD/1 INT -- 38 rushing yards -- 2 rushing TDs
Week 16: 161 passing yards -- 2 passing TDs -- 63 rushing -- 1 fumble
The Bad:
Week 1: 156 passing yards -- 1 INT -- 68 rushing -- 1 rushing TD -- 3 fumbles (rushing TD negated by miserable 4-turnover performance)
Week 6: 112 passing yards -- 1 passing TD/1 INT -- 51 rushing
Week 7: 116 passing yards -- 3 INTs -- 18 rushing -- 2 rushing TDs -- 2 fumbles (nice w/ rushing TDs, but 5 turnovers agains the JETS?!)
The Ugly: :X
Week 2: 123 passing yards -- 43 rushing -- 1 fumble
Week 4: Literally was 6/8 for 49 passing yards and 1 passing TD -- 58 rushing
Week 5: DNP
Week 13: 171 passing yards -- 2 INTs -- 27 rushing yards
Week 15: 122 passing yards -- 2 INTs -- 35 rushing yards
Week 17: 115 rushing yards -- 1 INT -- 0 rushing
He had a small stretch of good games weeks 9-12, and a couple sprinkled in between weeks 13-17, but overall, do you not consider this inconsistent!?
