Michael Vick benched vs. Saints?

---

News: FOX 29 in Philadelphia reports the Eagles are likely to make a quarterback change from struggling starter Michael Vick to rookie backup Nick Foles. The television station reports Eagles coach Andy Reid met with coaches after Sunday's game to discuss the quarterback situation and met again Monday morning. Reid is leaning toward change because Vick isn't improving. The television station also reports Vick made two bad audible mistakes Sunday against the Falcons and has the same problems each week. NFL.com reports one source said Reid isn't ready to commit to a quarterback change, but two sources added they won't be surprised if it happens.

Analysis: Vick's struggles this season have been well chronicled, but the Eagles are still tied for second place in the NFC East. You have to think a move to the rookie quarterback sends a bad message to the rest of the team, but apparently Reid has had enough of Vick. If this report turns out to be true, then a lot of Fantasy owners end up losing a starting option. If Foles becomes the starting quarterback, then he could certainly be worth a waiver claim in deep formats. Stay tuned.

FOX 29 in Philadelphia first reported the Eagles were likely to make a change at quarterback after coach Andy Reid met with coaches after Sunday's game to discuss the quarterback situation and met again Monday morning. Reid is leaning toward change because Vick isn't improving. NFL.com then reported one source said Reid isn't ready to commit to a quarterback change, but two sources added they won't be surprised if it happens.
