A few NFL tidbits with some fantasy impact from the last few days.
Brett Favre a Viking! Yes, we’re back to FavreGate on FantasyDraftEdge.com but with reports that’s he IS going to attend the Minnesota Vikings training camp and new rumors that a deal is done for him to be the Vikings QB is tough to continue to ignore. Favre could be a nice mid to upper level fantasy QB with a ground game and offensive line.
Alex Smith Stunning in Practice – The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that QB Alex Smith is out performing Shaun Hill by a significant margin in practice right now. Although we believe the Alex Smith may still have a decent NFL season in him somewhere; being better than Shaun Hill is hardly a resume builder for Canton. Someone will win this job but without some significant real game evidence to the contrary neither will be a great fantasy lineup option.
Bernard Scott impressive for the Bengals - Rookie RBs can often look quick in minicamp, and Scott has according to many reports. If he can continue this impressive performance and stay out of trouble (not easy in Cinncy apparently, and Scott had 5 arrests and attended 4 different colleges) this could be a nice late round, nobody even noticed pick in your next fantasy draft.
Braylon Edwards not likely going anywhere – Very similiar to our comments recently on Brandon Marshall and his trade demands – it takes two to tango. The Browns have a high asking price and Edwards not exactly in high demand. As with Marshall, perhaps Edwards focuses and produces a big season to make him more tradable.
