Don't buy into it.
Don't.
Because of the Minnesota Vikings' recent struggles and the controversy between QB Brett Favre and coach Brad Childress in last Sunday's game, fantasy football sites are telling you to stay away from Favre this weekend.
Again, don't do it.
If anything, this is likely your championship week if you're still alive in your playoffs and if Favre is on your roster, start him. Favre was taking a beating in the game on Sunday against Carolina and Childress wanted to take Favre out in the third quarter. Favre vehemently made his case to Childress about wanting to stay in the game, and did, as the Vikes lost 26-7.
Favre will surely be bombarded by questions from the media throughout the week about this outburst with Childress. Sports sites are already comparing the Vikes recent tailspin to the Favre-led Jets tailspin of a season ago.
I believe Favre is going to respond with a huge game against Chicago in Week 16.
Four weeks ago, Favre had one of his best games of the season against the Bears' weak defense, throwing for 292 yards and three touchdowns.
