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.

Favre may have a couple good seasons with the Jets, but he will always be remembered for his time with the Packers. Here is a look at a Brett Favre highlight video commemorating his time with the Packers:

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.

According to at least one report, Brett Favre is about to be traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The report indicates that the trade could be done as early as Wednesday.

Tampa Bay would be a decent enough fit for Favre. Coach Jon Gruden likes veteran players and Brett Favre would definitely step in and get the starting gig. While the Buccaneers aren’t overly talented on offense, they do have a few good offensive weapons that will ease the pressure on Favre.

However, in terms of fantasy football production, don’t expect Favre to match his numbers from last season if he is indeed traded to the Buccaneers. His learning curve will take a while and he doesn’t have a star wide receiver. For fantasy football 2008, consider Favre a good backup option at quarterback who might surprise.

How will that play out if Favre reports to a team that doesn’t want him? Check out this funny Brett Favre video for one possible scenario:

If the Packers end up trading Favre, don’t expect Green Bay to get a lot in return. While Favre may still be a very good quarterback, he is up in age and he may only have one more year of play left in his body. Plus it will take a perfect situation for Favre to fit in.

Where will Favre end up? There are a number of possible Brett Favre trade destinations, however a few teams that appear interested include the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Carolina Panthers.

With training camp right around the corner and Goodell wanting an end to this drama, expect to here more news one way or another soon enough.

Here is the Favre video:
