Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has been fined $50,000 -- but not suspended -- for failing to cooperate with the league's investigation into his relationship with Jenn Sterger while both worked for the New York Jets in 2008. The NFL released a statement Wednesday explaining it found no evidence that Favre's behavior toward Sterger violated league policy about workplace conduct. "On the basis of the evidence currently available to him, Commissioner (Roger) Goodell could not conclude that Favre violated league policies relating to workplace conduct," the league stated. "The forensic analysis could not establish that Favre sent the objectionable photographs to Sterger. The review found no evidence to contradict the statements of both Favre and Sterger that they never met in person, nor was there anything to suggest that Sterger engaged in any inappropriate conduct. "However, Commissioner Goodell also determined that Favre was not candid in several respects during the investigation, resulting in a longer review and additional negative public attention for Favre, Sterger, and the NFL. Commissioner Goodell stated to Favre that if he had found a violation of the league's workplace conduct policies, he would have imposed a substantially higher level of discipline."

Fantasy Analysis:

Of course the league wasn't going to suspend Favre, not for the final game of his career. Fantasy-wise, this news doesn't mean much other than Favre is still eligible to play this week. Vikings interim head coach Leslie Frasier said after Tuesday's game that Favre will play if he passes his concussion tests and is healthy enough to go against the Lions. Even if he does, you want no part of him. Joe Webb looked very serviceable against the Eagles and is an interesting option if Favre isn't cleared to play. As of now, the only Vikings I would care to start in week 17 are Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin. Updates on Favre's status will come throughout the week.
