Favre to retire -- again (maybe)

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that quarterback Brett Favre has informed the Vikings that he plans to retire.

If it is true, that will be a major hit to the team. Tarvaris Jackson and/or Sage Rosenfels will have to step up their games considerably if the team is to even come close to the success it enjoyed last season.

Fantasy-wise, it also has some significant impact on some other players, too. Sidney Rice moves from a No. 1 to a No. 2 receiver as does Percy Harvin. Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe also drops in value.

Adrian Peterson's stock probably stays about the same as does the value of back-up running back Toby Gerhart.
