Writer lauds Camarillo and even has a long overdue revelation about the stereotyping of White receivers. There's hope for DWF Nation yet:

Greg Camarillo, WR Vikings -- Thank goodness the Vikings begged
Brett Favre to come back. Not any quarterback can lead his team to a whopping nine points against the Saints.</div>

All kidding aside, I saw two things watching the Vikings. Favre isn't completely healthy and the Minnesota receivers are atrocious without
Sidney Rice. I saw last month that one prominent fantasy "expert" said the loss of Rice wouldn't affect Favre. Really? Dynamite drop-in buddy. I suppose
Tony Romo would be fine is he lost
Miles Austin, too.
Anyway, I like Camarillo in PPR leagues moving forward. Some people were all excited about
Bernard Berrian when Rice went down. Apparently those people never saw Berrian play football. He's terrible. And how can
Greg Lewis still have a job in the NFL? This guy did nothing for years in Philly and now another team is allowing him to cash a paycheck for reasons I still don't understand. Lewis' longevity in the NFL is dumbfounding to me.
I expect Camarillo to slowly become Favre's favorite target. He may not score a ton of touchdowns but look for Camarillo to catch a lot of short passes from Favre in the coming weeks. I would jump on him now before Camarillo becomes a hot commodity in fantasy leagues.
It's a sad state of affairs when your receivers are so bad that Camarillo has the most upside but that's the situation the Vikings find themselves in. Good luck on that Super Bowl appearance boys.
By the way, have you noticed that Wes Welker is the new Ed McCaffery? Any white receiver is now compared to Welker, an honor McCaffery held for years. Al Michaels stated that Camarillo was a "Wes Welker-type" of receiver. He is? Camarillo isn't as fast as Welker. He isn't as quick as Welker. He isn't as explosive as Welker. So, in reality, the only thing the two have in common is that they're both white receivers. Just something to think about.
