Jones gets boost with Favre: The Packers reached an agreement to trade QB Brett Favre to the New York Jets, the team announced late Wednesday night. It cost the Jets a conditional fourth-round pick in 2009, but the pick will escalate to a first-rounder if Favre appears in 80 percent of the plays and the Jets make it to the Super Bowl, according to a league source. The pick could be a second- or third-rounder depending on Favre's playing time and the Jets' performance. The trade agreement was structured to prevent the Jets from dealing Favre to the Vikings, his No. 1 choice. The Jets would have to give three No. 1 picks to the Packers if they made such a move, a ! league source confirmed. The Packers decided to move forward with Aaron Rodgers as their starter after Favre announced his retirement in March. (Updated 08/07/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The acquisition of Favre should mean more running lanes for RB Thomas Jones since teams will have to be worried about the Jets passing game. Jones remains a No. 2 Fantasy RB, but he should be even better than originally expected following the Jets upgrade of the offensive line. The addition of Favre will improve the offense and help Jones in 2008. (Updated 08/07/2008).
