Michael Vick to meet with Pittsburgh Steelers

It appears Michael Vick is visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers today in hopes of replacing injured backup QB Bruce Gradkowski. Vick, who turned 35 this summer, had a tough time finding success as a New York Jet last season after appearing in 10 games. Even though Vick has a much different style than Ben Roethlisberger, you can’t help but think his veteran experience and playmaking ability gives any NFL team a decent shot for continued success in the event that their starting QB goes down.

Fantasy Impact:
Michael Vick has always been a fantasy factor when healthy. He’s more than capable of putting up solid passing numbers and his rushing ability is an added bonus. There’s no need for him to be on any fantasy roster at this point, but if Big Ben was injured, he would absolutely be worth picking up. There’s just too much talent on the Steelers offense for his presence to be ignored.
