He's baaaaaaaaack....


So Brett Favre is signing for roughly $10 million to be the Vikings' new starting QB, according to HC Brad Childress. Sorry, Sage...I had you pegged as a sleeper, but now you're just in hibernation.

In a strange way, I like how this increases the value of Percy Harvin, whose bandwagon I've been on all offseason. You figure with Favre under center, the multi-dimensional rookie will be used even more creatively out of the backfield, including in the wildcat formation.

Also around the league...

Marc Bulger injured a finger on his throwing hand and will be out roughly 2 weeks. Not that you were planning to draft him, but this doesn't help Steven Jackson's cause either, with the outside possibility of backup Kyle Boller lining up under center when the regular season starts. Too early to panic, but be aware...

Lots of speculation out of Denver about Peyton Hillis becoming the featured back in the Broncos' backfield, since he's looked so good in camp and the others (Moreno, Buckhalter, Jordan) have all missed time with injuries. Don't buy it... Moreno will be workhorse in that offense. That said, Hillis should probably be on your radar as a potential handcuff, as opposed to Buckhalter (who was previously thought to be the guy).
