Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant said his team's play was "undisciplined" during Sunday's overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. Avant said (via The Philadelphia Daily News) that six games into the season it was "embarrassing." The Eagles lost on Sunday in part because of three turnovers, including two interceptions by quarterback Michael Vick.

The Eagles, now 3-3, have a bye in Week 7 before returning to face the Atlanta Falcons. Avant, who had two catches for 21 yards on Sunday, said the undisciplined play needed to be addressed before the Eagles take the field again.
Fantasy Impact: Vick and the Eagles are a tough one to figure for fantasy owners. Vick on Sunday had 311 passing yards, two touchdowns and 59 yards rushing. That’s a really strong fantasy effort, even when the two interceptions are taken into consideration.
In reality, Vick is a better fantasy quarterback than NFL quarterback and fantasy owners -- if they haven’t already -- need to learn how to separate the two when considering whether to start him. He is a going to be a No. 1 starting quarterback most weeks and will probably lead more fantasy teams to wins than he will with the Eagles.
