Beastmode you are correct. But in fantasy football players are sometimes judged by potential. Sure Mike Vick has only played a complete season once in his career, but the trade-off is that if he doesn't get injured he can lead your team to a championship.

Vick didn't lead all QB in scoring last year, because that honor went to Tom Brady with Aaron Rodgers finishing a close second. Vick was 4th behind Brady, Rodgers, & Manning. So you see that injuries are in fact a concern in fantasy and shouldn't be ignored.

However, for those owners who draft on potential, Vick did dominate in the all-important statistic "Fantasy Points Per Game". Vick scored 29.1 fantasy points per game (he only played 12 games) while the closest player to that was Aaron Rodgers with 23.9 fantasy points per game. This means that Vick was almost a full TD per-game better than all other fantasy quarterbacks using FPPG. That's huge but again, its a calculate risk.

I created a website where you can create fantasy football cheat sheets using drag and drop. On my quarterback rankings page you can see my rankings and also view how each QB performed using the TFP (Total Fantasy Points) and the FPPG statistic. Hope this helps someone.
