The Vikings battled a few injuries early in Sunday’s game against the Packers.

Vikings QB Brett Favre will have his favorite target back against the NFC North rival Packers, as WR Sidney Rice is active for the first time this season.

Titans QB Vince Young (ankle) is a true game-time decision (a decision that will be brought to you on NFL.com Fantasy LIVE on Sunday morning) against the Dolphins.

The Vikings and Cardinals will have their top playmakers on the field Sunday at the Metrodome.

The absence of Randy Moss in Minnesota means a major drop in fantasy appeal for two major players.

Randy Moss did not put up the huge fantasy numbers that most expected when he went back to Minnesota. But it would be foolish to overlook the impact he had on some of his teammates. Most notably, WR Percy Harvin.

Vikings WR Sidney Rice is off the crutches according to Jeff Zulgad (via Twitter). There is no word on when he will be able to resume football activities.

Sidney Rice is one of many Vikings excited over the return of Randy Moss.

One way to make sense of Brett Favre’s struggles is through a little exercise of compare and contrast.

You can’t sit Vikings WR Percy Harvin, which is enough to frustrate fantasy owners.

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson told reporters this week that he would like 40 to 50 carries per game (via the Star Tribune). And you know what, he might need to reach that total for the Vikings to win.

Vincent Jackson could be back sooner than later for fantasy owners … if the Chargers deal him in the next few days.

The time has come. And Brett Favre will be sitting on my bench.

The cutdown deadline for NFL teams to reduce their rosters to 75 players passed at 4 p.m. EST, and was surrounded by a flurry of activity.

No Sidney Rice. Teams taking liberties with his health. And now Brett Favre has fumbled and is seen shaking his hand. The overreaction here is that Favre is regretting coming back and he is going going to be the player that he was last year.
