NOTE: It's theoretically possibly that Rice can help fantasy teams down the stretch, so consider taking him super late and stashing him in leagues with deep benches.
THE BIG QUESTION
Can #4 do THAT again?
On the surface, Brett Lorenzo Favre's All-Pro 2010 seems sensible enough. After all, Favre is the all-time NFL leader in Passing TDs, Passing Yards, consecutive starts, retirements, un-retirements, praise heaped on from professional sports announcers, and snarky comments elicited from football bloggers. So yes, you were probably a little surprised at 33 TD, 7 Interceptions, and 4202 yards, but you can't tell me you didn't think it was possible. It is easy to guess that Favre will regress this year, with more wear and tear on the body and the loss of emerging star Sidney Rice at WR. But if you want to look on the bright side, consider this: Minnesota's offensive line underperformed in 2009, allowing the most sacks on Favre he had taken in the entire decade of the 2000s. A healthy bounce-back season from Steve Hutchinson and Bryant McKinnie could do wonders for the ageless QB.

NOTE: The Vikes have been working to find some workable WR. Whether due to inconsistency (Barrian) or injury questions (Harvin), it is difficult to know what to expect from this group. Favre also has a history of elevating mediocre WRs into stars (Robert Brooks, wherever you are, I am looking at you). Keep watching the box scores -- so long as Favre is healthy, is 800 yards and 6 TD out of reach for one or more of this group? ... Shiancoe is a solid TE... In a deep league, consider Albert Young as a handcuff. Gerhart has all the hype, but Young is better in pass protection and will see the field more often.
