Here is a rundown on some of the major NFL storylines this weekend:
- N.Y. Giants at Minnesota Vikings: The question of the week is will Brett Favre start against the Giants? Favre has a current streak of starting 297 games in the NFL, but suffered a strained shoulder last week. He has been medically cleared to play, but will he be able to throw the ball effectively even with pain relieving injections? It is unlikely that Favre will let his streak end when the doctors have given him the go ahead. This guy is tough, despite his old age.
- Kansas City Chiefs at San Diego Chargers: Chiefs QB Matt Cassel is talking about starting again this week after just undergoing an emergency appendectomy. Is he crazy? Sure, this is a big game where the Chiefs have the opportunity to get control of the AFC West title, but is it really worth the risk of serious injury? The NFL should really be stepping in on this one to regulate Cassel's return post surgery.
- New England Patriots at Chicago Bears: The Pats are looking unstoppable as of late, but Jay Cutler and his Bears could be the squad able to control Brady's good looks. If Cutler can harness his offense and control his offensive possessions they will have a chance. Truth is, I am still not starting Cutler on my fantasy team.
