The Better Fantasy Option: Brett Favre Or Kevin Kolb?

If you look at the current Fantasy QB rankings provided by fftoolbox.com, you’ll find that Eagles QB Kevin Kolb is ranked ninth, while Vikings QB Brett Favre is ranked 14th.

But is that a fair assessment?

Well this writer believes it is and here’s a quick rundown as to why.

Kevin Kolb basically inherits a team that features DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin as the primary receivers along with TE Brent Celek, and potential breakout rookie Riley Cooper.

Brett Favre's squad features a banged up Sidney Rice, a questionable Percy Harvin (migraines), and a floundering   Bernard Berrian, alongside X-factor TE Visanthe Shiancoe.

Minnesota has the far better run game, a better defense; the Eagles have a quarterback, who was the first QB to accomplish two 300-yard games in his first two starts.

Kolb is taking over the helm, while Brett Favre is once again enveloped in an ongoing story of Will he return?

Favre is a proven warrior; Kolb has yet to truly define his identity.

So much to digest.

In the end, there is a good argument to place Kolb ninth—albeit a bit risky—while placing Favre 14th, but it will be ultimately up to you what you do come draft time.

Basically, do you go with the tried and proven, or the potential future? The choice is yours.
