Michael Vick leaves with injury, Nick Foles sees fantasy value go up
Michael Vick made an early exit on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Rookie quarterback Nick Foles took over under center with Vick out. He managed 219 yards, one touchdown and a pick during his first playing time in the NFL.
Fantasy Impact: It seems like Vick was bound to get hurt eventually after constantly taking shots from opposing defenses this season. Foles didn’t look spectacular after subbing in, but he did find Jeremy Maclin wide open for a 44-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
We’ll see what Vick’s status is going forward this week. He’ll have to pass the league’s concussion protocol to play in Week 11, so Foles could be out there leading the Eagles again. If the rookie starts, his fantasy value will be decent, but the mistakes we saw in Week 10 will still be on display.
