Week 12

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I didn't have a chance to get the weekly entry posted before the Thursday games but I have some insight for the Sundays games, yet.

Vick or Young?

Vick didn't practice on Friday, it is looking more and more like Vince Young will be starting again. Eagles vs. Patriots will be a 3:15 start. With Vick being questionable and looking like a game-time decision, take the safe bet and play someone besides one of these two. If your options are limited and you happen to have both stay on top of the news reports during the 12:00 games.

Is Caleb Hanie going to be fantasy relevant? How about Kyle Orton?

Caleb Hanie, the new Chicago Bears starting quartback will not have any fantasy relevance. Matt Forte will remain the focal point of the offense. You can downgrade Earl Bennett, he was Jay Cutler's favorite target. 

Kyle Orton, on the other hand, is worth a pick-up. Tyler Palko will be starting this Sunday against the Steelers (http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/article-2/Tyler-Palko-will-start-at-quarterback-against-Steelers/17c76f96-4153-41fa-b0ae-6f0f1e224133). Kyle Orton could start making an immediate impact next week against his former team, the Chicago Bears.

Lastly, your thoughts on Toby Gerhart?

Stay away, Adrian Peterson is hopeful to play this Sunday. Even if he doesn't Toby Gerhart has not looked like he can handle a full-load of carries.

Post your questions in the comments below.

Good luck as you get closer to the playoffs!
