Brett Favre: A true legend

Posted Mar. 04 at 03:13 PM

Brett Favre finishes his career with an amazingly deep body of work – and more so in the fantasy world than in the real-life NFL, where he was limited to just two Super Bowl appearances and one championship.

Based on the standard fantasy scoring system of 4 points for TD passes, 1 for TD runs and 1 point yardage increments of 20 passing and 10 rushing yards, Favre accounted for five of the top 31 quarterbacking performances of the last 20 years. No other quarterback has accounted for more than three of those performances.

The overall list:
