Brett Favre Injury Update – Fatigued Arm

admin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 01:09:19 +0000

After his fifth practice with the New York Jets, Brett Favre indicated he was suffering from a fatigued arm. Despite the fatigue, Favre is expected to play in the Jets’ next preseason game.

The fact that Favre is suffering from a fatigued arm shouldn’t be too surprising considering he’s 38-years-old and didn’t play much football during the offseason. Arm fatigue at this point of the preseason shouldn’t affect his 2008 fantasy football draft stock much one way or the other.

Even though all the reports regarding Favre are positive, he remains best suited to be a backup fantasy football quarterback. While he certainly has the potential to put up good numbers this season, it would be risky to ride your hopes on his right arm.

Keep an eye on Favre during the preseason. If he looks extra sharp and has good rapport with his wide receivers, you might consider bumping him up in your fantasy football cheat sheets.

Brett Favre Traded to Jets – Fantasy Impact

admin — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 02:52:19 +0000

The Brett Favre saga finally seems to be coming to an end. Favre was traded on Wednesday, but not to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as reported earlier, but to the New York Jets. The Jets needed a quarterback and now they have one of the best who has ever played.

While the Jets struggled last season, Favre actually has pretty good weapons on this team. Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery are both quality receivers. Favre should be able to connect with Coles and Cotchery relatively quickly. Not only those two wide receivers be good for Favre, but Favre should raise the fantasy football stock of both receivers.

This offseason, the Jets have added many veteran players in an attempt to win now. Favre should fit right in with the veteran cast the Jets have put together. While the lack of a quality running game is going to hurt Favre, he has had good fantasy seasons without a quality running game in the past.

Don’t expect Favre to put up the fantasy football numbers that he did last year for the Green Bay Packers. That said, this destination is better than the Bucs and Favre should be able to have at least an average season.
