With Tarvaris Jackson on IR with turf toe and Brett Favre looking unlikely to return this week from a shoulder injury, it looks like Joe Webb will start at QB this week against Chicago.
Webb is a raw quarterback and so far his numbers are not exciting (1.6 YPA). He's very fast. "Whoa, who is that?" kind of fast when he takes off at QB. So he may get some rushing yards even if he struggles in the passing game.
But if you are playing in any Yahoo! Sports fantasy football, he may be a must start this week.
Crazy?
That's because he qualifies at WR in Yahoo! Sports leagues.
The Vikings originally drafted Webb with the intention of moving him to receiver. However, the team moved him back to quarterback in the preseason. But two weeks ago he was activated and returned a kickoff and was set to enter the game as a receiver before hurting his hamstring.
Maybe Yahoo! Sports will change the designation before Sunday. But if not, run out and add him. Getting QB points from the WR spot in your roster is a big advantage.
