Peterson will possibly hit 2000 yards

Harvin will get lost in the shuffle Well said Russ.....I agree on all accounts.

I have Favre and Moss in my big money league. I just told Greg I might be happier right now than Favre is.

Revis should cover Berrian who will likely be on the bench now that this trade is done.

Revis FEARS Moss!

Jets get OVVNED this week.

I find this shocking. I don't put much value into the "it gives Moss an extra game" logic for a couple reasons. It likely will take him a couple weeks to get in sync with the Vikings offensive system and in reality he had WORSE than a bye this past Monday night since owners started his zero rather than playing someone else.

I think it helps Harvin some as coverages will have to roll toward Moss and that allows Harvin to be a PPR and RAC monster.

I can't think of why the Patriots would do this (especially if they only could get a 3rd round pick) unless they know their defense is not championship material or maybe they intend to shift into a running team with BJG.

Don't see moves like this in the NFL too often.

This definitely helps Harvin. He did very well last season when defenses were focusing on Rice. Now he (and Shiancoe) can run free in the intermediate zones without extra defenders hanging all over them.

The extra game for Moss is huge. It doesn't help the Moss owners who got burned Monday night but now you can start Moss for one extra game and potentially get quality production from him. I don't think he'll need much time to get on the same page with Favre. It's pretty simple - "Randy go deep and I'll throw you the ball." I expect to see that a ton now.

As a Brady owner in a few leagues I'm hoping that the Patriots find a way to get Vincent Jackson. They have plenty of draft picks that can be dealt.

I haven't seen any serious decline with Favre. I've seen rust from missing camp, an offensive line that is struggling to protect and horrible receivers other than Shiancoe and Harvin. I think giving Favre a legit No. 1 WR will be a huge help for him. I don't think he's lost it. I think he can still play the position effectively and now he has a wide receiver who will enhance that potential and perhaps significantly.

The Packers-Vikings matchups certainly got A LOT more interesting now.
