So all the fun Favre-related drinking games aside, what does this mean from a Fantasy perspective? I would like to think Favre's a value pick, since everyone hates him. However there are a couple things weighing against this:
1) AP, who remains the star of this team (value might even get a boost until people realize Favre's arm is shot/old).
2) Viking's stellar wide-receivers. Todd Pinkston could still start for this team.
3) Favre's semi-miraculous ability to fade down the stretch (your playoff run), only to be rejuvenated following the next year's training camp.
Seriously, I would not pick him in a 16 round draft. At all. I would pick him after Shaun Hill. I do think he could serve as a matchup QB for bye weeks or if your starter gets hurt (especially in weeks 1-10, or any time they play Detroit), but I can't see picking him over someone with a remote chance to contribute all year.
Thoughts?

A brief conversation
B: is it weird that i'm talking myself into LT at #2?
E: very
E: deranged, really
B: i just feel like every other top 5 back has a major issue
B: and LT's is just "he was banged up last year and has milage"
E: even so pick one of them and trade, then
E: picking LT a #2 is stupid
B: i think he'll go btwn 3 and 6 in every league
B: i haven't seen him go lower than 7
B: and that was once
E: honestly dude LDT is clearly fading
E: if you want him, go nuts
E: but the dude is 30
E: here's his yardage in the last 3 years: 1815, 1474, 1110
B: yeah, but the 1815 was insane, no one keeps that up
B: here's his avg rushing: 5.2, 4.7, 3.8
B: 4.7/1474 is more usual
B: every statistic is down across the board the past 3 years
B: and last year he was hurt a lot
B: yeah i know
B: i feel like it's all explicable though
E: hey if that's what you want to do i commend you
E: make sure you pick #2 in our league, ok?
E: very
