Football fans everywhere are now rejoicing. The Brett Favre saga has ended. Late last night, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time landed in the Big Apple to play for the J-E-T-S, JETS! JETS! JETS! JETS! This move instantly makes the Jets a legitimate playoff team in the AFC. They had already addressed the offensive line problems in the off-season acquiring Alan Faneca and Damien Woody. Now they get an enormous upgrade at the QB position. Favre's arrival in New York will increase of the value of wide receivers, Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery as well as running back, Thomas Jones. Jones already a sleeper pick before Favre's arrival, should now have even more room to run and won't have to worry about seeing seven man fronts and should see a lot less of the other teams strong safety. Also, Favre will be reunited with one of his favorite red zone targets, TE Bubba Franks. I think this move does more for value of the players around him, than it does for him. He could have put up better numbers in Green Bay, but having said that the Jets have a cupcake schedule and Favre should still put up numbers that will make him a top 10 QB. Fantasy Factor Projection: 25-30 TD's, 3900 yards passing, 18 INTS.
