Many sources are reporting this. Not the best matchup, but depending on other options could be useful.

I think it's the right move by Fisher and the Titans. They suck and might go 0-16. Get Vince in there and get him some experience.

Oh, and block with two TE's most of the time so he doesn't get killed. A stud young QB with a broken leg means Kerry Collins will start for you for the rest of the season.

I think he'll provide excitement---and hope---for this struggling team. You can bet he'll turn it over, but he'll also create from nothing and show "a little" more enthusiasm than Collins out there.

I almost forgot to mention: I don't think he's a very good fantasy play, obviously. Maybe against teams like Oakland and Arizona that aren't very strong on the defensive line. But the Cowboys are a stunting-blitzing team. I think we may see Vince on his back a half dozen times today.

Hopefully we'll get to see a few nice runs, too, to go along with that.

Agreed. Although I had a fleeting itch to start him over Rivers (Balt) in my QB2 slot.

Destined to dare destiny.

Mike, I'd lean towards starting Vince over Rivers. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't love the Chargers' passing game on the road to Baltimore.

I hear ya. I have to leave in a few minutes though, and I'm just concerned Fisher changes his mind or something weird happens regarding Young. At least I know Rivers will be out there (getting maimed).
