This week was all about Brett Favre and his return to Lambeau field. Favre played an almost flawless game against his former team, as he led the Vikings to victory with four touchdown passes.
Minnesota now has a commanding lead in the division and should steam-roll their way to a division title. What the Vikings need to do now is win home field advantage over the undefeated New Orleans Saints .
Below I have some observations from the eighth week of the regular season and how I see those points of interest playing out from a fantasy perspective.

Fantasy Football Regular Season Week Eight Notes
MJD and Chris Johnson Run Wild
Titans star-runner Chris Johnson and Jaguars star-runner Maurice Jones-Drew both had huge performances in this game.
Johnson totaled 24 carries for 228 yards rushing and two touchdowns. This was a big game for a running back that had not accomplished much for fantasy owners since his huge game against the Texans in Week Two.
Johnson ran his team to their first victory and looks primed to have a big second half of the fantasy football season.
Jones-Drew had 177 yards rushing on only eight carries. The two touchdown runs were of distances of 79 yards and 80 yards.
Drew is fast becoming a top-three pick for next year's fantasy football drafts as he is proving he can handle the feature duties in Jacksonville.
The only thing we need to see from Drew is if he can finish the season strong and hold up physically. If he continues to produce like he did today with only eight carries then he will do just fine.
