Impact Vasko helped Coastal Carolina's team earn bowl eligibility by logging three passing touchdowns and a rushing TD when the team won at Georgia State in Week 14.

Noah Kim was equally bad in Vasko's place, resulting in Vasko getting reinserted for CCU's final drive. Vasko threw an interception on the possession. Regardless of who's under center against Georgia State in Week 14, Coastal Carolina should quarterbacks should be avoided in fantasy.

Impact Vasko hasn't played since Week 8, when he was benched after the first quarter of the Chanticleers' game against Louisiana after completing 3 of 10 passes.

Benched after first quarter Vasko completed 3 of 10 passes for 10 yards during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Louisiana.

Impact Vasko started Saturday's game but was replaced by Noah Kim to start the second quarter after all three of Vasko's drives resulted in a punt. Kim finished the game 16-for-25 for 182 yards and two touchdowns, which could be a good enough performance to warrant a permanent QB change. Coastal Carolina has a bye in Week 9, and it's unclear if Vasko or Kim will be under center against Troy in Week 10.
