Conspiracy Theory by FBG on Brett Favre (1 Viewer)

Okay, I do not understand how on the average drafted position Brett Favre doesn't make it as a top 32 QB.

I also do not understand how FBG projections have Brett Favre listed at 26 INT which I believe is 8 higher than any other QB.

I realize that Brett had a terrible year last year, but fantasy wise he still produce as a medicore QB, and all his prior history would indicate that he could easily rebound as a #1 QB this year.

What is the deal FBG, why no love.

**Edit**

Correct Favre spelling, also saw that the ADP now includes Favre in the rankings.

Projections still seem a bit off though, I would be willing to place a wager that 1 -Favre wont throw 26 INT, 2 - be worse the league for INT, 3 - have more INT than TDs this year.

As for comments about why he will do just as good as in years past.

He has turn numerous bad WRs into studs, Freeman, Bill Schraoder(sp), etc.

Favre will surely overachieve if these are his projections. While the team was injured last year they did have a top 5 offense the year before that. Yeah, Favre does not have the same weapons but he has made more out of less before. Favre could easily throw for 3500/30 this year. Especially since this is his last year, supposedly, and he does not want to go out on the low end. Draft Favre as the QB 9-15 in a redraft league and be happy you did.

 
the offensive line is still a mess and Javon Walker is gone, leaving only Donald Driver as a proven weapon at WR. the defense should be much better this year so Favre won't have to force things as much as he did last year.

But, does anyone really expect him to improve significantly on his numbers from last year? If so, why?

 
"We take our Average Draft Position results seriously here. This data set combines results from Antsports.com, Myfantasyleague.com and Xpertsports.com. It also excludes known situations where players will not play this season (Ricky Williams, Jimmy Smith)."

How is Favre's ADP FBGs doing?

Okay, I do not understand how someone can defend Brett FAVRE and not know how to spell his name correctly. :wall:

All Brett Favre knows how to do is force things.

Yes. Because regression to the mean is a reality and one season neither constitutes a trend nor trumps 12 other years.

 
The ADP data may be going back before Favre's announcement that he was returning. More current QB ADP probably has him a bit higher. I wouldn't mind having him as my QB2 since you should be able to get him pretty late still.
