It's fun when SportsCenter turns into Access Hollywood. This morning Rachel Nichols is reporting on Deanna Favre's breakfast casserole.
So there's plenty of Brett Favre news right now, but I've yet to see the analysis that I really care about: his fantasy impact. (I've decided that fantasy football accounts for about 60% of my interest in the sport – at least at the professional level.)
Now that I'm about three wine bottles deep in the cellar of our fantasy baseball league, my attention has turned towards our football league.
Considering Favre had his best statistical season of his career last year and was the third-rated fantasy QB (at least in our league), I'd think this angle of his return would garner more extensive coverage.
To be fair, ESPN's fantasy gurus seem to assume his return and ranked him 8th amongst QBs (again, in our league), but does that change now? Shouldn't Tarvaris Jackson lose his 26th spot?
And, moreover, what about Vikings receivers? Two of my favorite fantasy players last year were Brett Favre targets. Can I count on them again?
These are the questions I need answered, ESPN. I don't care that Favre and teammates rode from the airport this year in a BMW instead of an Escalade.
But now I know.

Great Point. I honestly saw a stat where after 10,000 simulations it was determined that the Vikings would win 3 extra games with farve and have a 30% better chance of making the playoffs. Where in the hell is the (Questionably) Talented Mr. Roto's break down with similar info? Oh that's right it doesn't exist because Fantasy Football is about luck not mathematical models, no matter what any fantasy football nerds will tell you. Now Fantasy Baseball (as I close in on back to back Championship Title Runs) takes skill. Damnit I just jinxed myself.
ReplyDeleteI loved that it took them a day from when he flew in to when they made the announcement. Why not announce right away that he was flying to Minnesota to resume his career and that he was a fool for putting it off so long?
