The Facts:
Vick didn't give HC Chip Kelly a choice. Kelly had to make Vick the team's starting quarterback after Vick's two flawless preseason outings. On Tuesday morning, Kelly confirmed the obvious. Vick will start Week 1 against the Washington Redskins. "We had 38 opportunities for evaluation, I don't think this is a rash decision," Kelly told reporters on Tuesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com suggested, Nick Foles acquitted himself well in practices. He can run Kelly's offense and effectively moved the ball during two preseason games. But Foles was more prone to mistakes, while Vick was reinvigorated by an offense that plays well to his skill set. NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal went on to suggest, this is Vick's chance to kickstart a career that stagnated under former HCh Andy Reid. From a fantasy perspective Vick immediately becomes a high-end QB2 with tons of upside. And tons of risk. He hasn't started more than 13 games since 2006 (subscribers can hit our
