  • Fox Sports Fantasy Top 50

    The Packers don't have an offensive player in the top 50. We don't even make it into the "Just Missed" category. Isn't this strange to see? If Favre comes back, where would you put him/draft him? In fact, there are few NFC North players in this list...

    This isn't too surprising. The top offensive guys are either coming back from injury (Walker, Green - and even marginal and/or unknown talents Davenport Gado and Murphy are returning from injury) or top guys are contemplating retirement (Favre) or quitting (Walker). Where is the certain talent on the Green ay offense?? Only Donald Driver is a talent and I might put him just above Donte. That's about it. Given the list, I think I'd put Walker at around 20, and Green and Favre at around 25, assuming they all come back at full strength.

      Well, I'd still rank Donald Driver over Donte' Stallworth at this point in fantasy ball.

        Yeah, ranking that stuff is a big crap shoot, like Owens in the top 25, if you had him last year, you were screwed, and if you picked up Gado in the last half, you made a great steal....

          You're right. None of this makes any sense until after minicamps. Heck, Edge could be a piece of crap in the AZ offense with that offensive line. Its just still shocking to me that no Packer players ranks in the top 50 in the league. Would Favre even rank in the top 50? Maybe not....

          I was one of those that secured a playoff spot by starting Gado for a few weeks.
