A Monday MRI didn't turn up any major news about Brett Favre's right shoulder. It's sprained, but nothing catastrophic. He is considered day-to-day, and interim head coach Leslie Frazier reiterated Monday that Favre will start if he's healthy enough to do so. "If the doctor says he's fine, he's functional and Brett feels good about it, it won't be a hard decision," Frazier said, via the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Between what the medical people tell me and what Brett tells me, we'll make a decision based on that." Frazier also said Favre would rest during the week and that surgery isn't necessary. Favre was injured on the Vikings' third play Sunday against the Bills as he was hit from behind and driven to the ground. If he is able to start against the Giants this week, it would be his record-extending 298th consecutive start.

Fantasy Analysis:

The Giants aren't exactly the friendliest defense for a broken quarterback. If he's limited, he'll still want to start. I just hope Frazier and the Vikings play it smart and don't feel like they are obligated to Favre. They should just go to Tavaris Jackson now, but they probably won't. The biggest question for fantasy owners right now when it comes to Favre or Jackson is how the former will affect a now-healthy Sidney Rice. They were great together last year, but 2009 Brett Favre is a long ways away. Rice and Jackson had a pretty nice connection going Sunday. Granted, that was against the Bills' defense.
