Vick was running wild on the Giants, posting 79 rushing yards and 106 passing yards to help his team to a lead heading into halftime.
The Eagles were calling a lot of designed runs for Vick in this game, but it came back to bite them. This is nothing new for Vick. He took a couple of hard tackles before suffering the injury and when he pulled his hamstring, he was able to walk to the sidelines under his own power.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners knew what they were getting themselves into with him. Vick has been a risk to play since joining the Eagles. He was on his way to a big day, but it sounds like he could be done for the day. The Eagles will travel to Tampa Bay next week and Vick should be considered questionable. Nick Foles could be a sneaky pickup in fantasy leagues that require starting two quarterbacks.
