And now I'm fucked for this upcoming week. Aaron Rodgers, my starting QB, probably won't play against Miami because of a concussion. My backup? Michael Vick.

Same here man, only my backup is feasibly good - Josh Freeman.

So, now I have another Rodgers-Vick problem.

Which one do I start? Rodgers is at Minnesota. Vick hosts the Giants. The Giants have made just about every opposing QB their bitch this year. But Vick is the hot choice in fantasy right now.

Understand, I play in a VERY HIGH scoring league, where:

One completion/one rush attempt = 1 point
One reception = 4 points
10 yards passing/rushing/receiving/returning = 1 point
touchdown = 6 points

So Vick's stellar Monday Night performance looked like this:

20 completions = 20 points
333 passing yards = 33 points
8 rush attempts = 8 points
80 rushing yards = 8 points
6 total touchdowns = 36 points
Total = 105 points

Vick's 105 points Monday night allowed me to comeback and defeat my opponent (my dad) 472-449.

Here's what their point total by game looks like:

Rodgers: 46 (PHI), 69 (BUF), 77 (CHI), 45 (DET), 65 (WAS), 62 (MIA), 58 (MIN), 35 (NYJ), 82 (DAL)

Vick: 60 (GB), 72 (DET), 77 (JAC), 13 (WAS, suffered rib injury), 67 (IND), 105 (WAS)

So, Rodgers at Minny or Vick against the Giant killers?

Start Vick, 100% start Vick. The guy is simply too hot a hand to bench. No QB, not even Rodgers, should play above him right now, I don't care how your league scores.

I went with Vick. Rodgers scores 81 against the Queens. Vick goes tonight against the Giants.

Rodgers had a huge game, but I'm sure Vick will make life miserable vs NYG tonight.
