The fantasy football season is here! Rejoice! Have fun, talk trash, but don’t overthink your starting lineup! Consider this your fantasy football intervention.

Brett Favre was plenty solid in his first extended action since last season. If Favre can stay healthy and stick to the Vikings’ template, they will be a scary team.

In my latest experts league draft, I decided to focus on wide receivers and passed on taking a second running back until the fifth round. Check out the my full roster to see if this little experiment worked.

When I look at Brett Favre on the Minnesota Vikings — ignoring all of the obvious things — what I see is the Vikings getting better in the red zone and on third downs. Really, Favre makes the entire offense better, and opposing defenses will no longer be able to take liberties against the Vikings.

Brett Favre’s presence will help the fantasy value of receivers Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and tight end Visanthe Shiancoe. Look at Favre as a viable No. 2 fantasy quarterback and worth a middle- to late-round selection.
