timbrah_ho 64 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 His value takes a huge hit. #1 fantasy WR to a low-end WR1Whoa now, lets not get carried away. No longer the absolute #1 WR in fantasy but the guy's schtick is that he gets the ball despite coverage and all obstacles in his way. Vick isn't Ben but he's got a good enough arm to get it close to AB, and that's all he needs really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stealthycat 1,656 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Vick is a veteran, full week of 1st team practices .... he'll know to feed A.Brown NOT as well as Ben ... but it will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just FF.Yeah. I'm going to spend the next 10 days trying to convince myself that this is just a false sample because they've only had 2-3 days of practice on a short week.

Synthesizer 491 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Vick is horrible. Yeah the drop on the sliding catch sucked, but even when Brown was WIDE open on that 20 yard out, Vick put the ball out of bounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost Rider 6,214 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Eh, it's a meaningless streak anyway, since they've had several games where they force fed him the ball at the end to keep it alive. Brown is a great enough WR that he doesn't need that streak to be great. However, it's gonna be tough sledding for us Brown owners till Roethlisberger gets back.

Truebluey 460 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Vick had happy feet all night. He did hit AB on a perfect deep pass which he dropped. But overall Vick as a passer gives you no confidence. No vision and doesn't check down through the reads. They will be leaning on Bell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus P Dub 29 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'd be a little worried if I was a AB owner. He was open on the easy 4th down conversion and Vick chucked it into the stands. You could hear AB scream in frustration. Gonna be a long 6 weeks for PIT WRs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bicycle_seat_sniffer 5,109 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 oof, well bigben wasn't on crutches on the sidelines hope he gets his big ### out there soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Todem 4,682 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) Ben will be back sooner rather than later. This guy heals fast and is tough as nails. 3 more weeks. In the meantime if Vick can improve each week from this debacle and we can hang in there with our other WR's and players......us Brown owners can get through this.Depth is part of traditional FF (weak pansy ### new school FF owners play weekly now, who can't handle injuries and strictly play for money and nothing else...oh boo hooo LOL) and separates the men from the boys.

MattFancy 2,197 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 oof, well bigben wasn't on crutches on the sidelines hope he gets his big ### out there soonHas to be a good sign, right? I follow the former Dr for the Chargers on Twitter (David Chao I believe) and he was saying that the Steelers doctors wouldn't have let him do that if the bone bruise was severe. I think he'll be back closer to 4 than 6 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markus P Dub 29 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 They also said on the telecast that Coach Tomlin doesnt allow anyone who uses crutches on the sideline. So thats why Ben ditched them. But he does seem to heal quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyLayne 10,874 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Antonio has no one but himself to blame for the streak ending. Wasn't an easy one but that TD drop is one he hauls in 19 out of 20 times.Worth nothing they got zero on that drive (was his after the spectacular fumble recovery?).
