Fantasy Football: Brad Johnson Redux

READ MORE: Brad Johnson, Daunte Culpepper, Fantasy Football

The fantasy football world was pretty disaffected by the whole Daunte Culpepper injury. All that time spent waiting for the guy to play like last season was getting rather old. However, it’s still a little strange to start trumpeting Brad Johnson as a possible roster replacement to make up for the Culpepper loss. But that’s what Fort Worth Star-Telegram fantasy writer David Thomas is telling owners to do. It’s a half-hearted suggestion at best, but he still said this:

“One thing to watch for is whether Johnson develops a favorite receiver. Moss topped 1,300 yards in six of his seven years with the Vikings. This year, the Vikings don’t have a player on pace for 1,000 yards, so they have lacked a go-to fantasy player. Owners of Nate Burleson, Marcus Robinson, Travis Taylor, Travis Williamson and tight end Jermaine Wiggins should begin hoping now that Johnson takes a liking to their guy.”

Yeah. We’re fired up about Johnson. Wee. However, we think Thomas is just hoping for one of those Trent Dilfer-type rejuvenations that sometimes happens with struggling teams. Maybe. Possibly. But we’re also pretty sure this Vikings team is stuck in minimal effort mode for the rest of the season now that their boat orgy priviledges have been removed.
