While parity seems to be the buzzword in the NFL this season with everyone beating up on everyone, the one constant has been some memorable (fantasy football) individual performances from week to week.
In Week 10 you look no further than the quarterback position with the return of
Michael Vick and his one-man dismantling of the Washington Redskins. Vick did it through the air and on the ground and never let up on the throttle. Depending on the scoring format used in your league, Vick had anywhere from 48 to 70 points and vaulted many fantasy football teams to victory.
Vick ended up with 333 yards passing, four passing touchdowns, 80 yards rushing and two rushing touchdowns.
