Don't Just Play, Win! Have you ever walked into your fantasy football draft unprepared? Carrying a 
Well the teams have broken camp and are in the swing of the preseason. One thing that is becoming abundantly clear is that players are continuing to slide up and down the depth chart as well as on our UberRank Fantasy Cheat Sheet.
The Good:
Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings- It is becoming a theme, let’s start the week off with a Vikings QB! Even though Brett has told us 4 different times that he is absolutely done playing football, he appears to be, yet again, not done playing football. Favre seems to be stepping into a perfect situation to put up a good fantasy season. He will be playing in a very familiar west coast offensive system, he is going to a team with an amazing defense and a ridiculous running game and to top it off, he is playing 8 games in a dome at home, and 7 either indoors or warmer weather states. For the first time in several years, Brett is not going to be asked to win games, he will a great supporting cast to help him along the way. Just keep in mind that Favre has had a recent history of not helping his fantasy owners come playoff time.
The Bad:
JaMarcus Russell, Oakland Raiders- Rumor has it that Russell threw three picks in a scrimmage with his own team. In case you have not watched many football practices, the quarterback wears a red jersey and in not allowed to be hit. When you know you will not be hit, you do not really feel too much real pressure…and he still threw three interceptions!!! I know that JaMarcus look respectable with moments of decent at the end of last season, but I am not buying what he is selling. Plus, with the coaches beating the hell out of each other and Jeff Garcia trying to poach his job, stay far away from anyone on the Raiders.
The Ugly:
Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos- Marshall has been projected as a top 5 fantasy wide receiver for the last few seasons, that streak is going to end. Marshall’s issues started with his ongoing, off the field legal battles. It continued with the departure of his quarterback Jay Cutler. It has now culminated with Marshall thinking he can pitch the same childish fit that his buddy Cutler pulled and demand to be traded. This has not been very effective and he is now reported to be practicing with the scout team. In case you’re confused, it “is” what you think, one step up from the practice squad. The scout team is where Eric Crouch’s career went to die. If the once promising career of Brandon Marshall continues down this road, you could see him bagging groceries at an Albertson’s near you very soon.
