Receivers

Brett Favre's first pass of this preseason was a 34-yarder over the middle to Percy Harvin, showing that despite surgeries and migraines and time apart, this is still a formidable combo.
The Offensive Rookie of the Year last season, Harvin football jerseys
believes the cause of his migraines has finally been found.
"We're feeling really confident. I know we said that a couple times, but I think this time we found what the main cause was. I'm not saying I'll never get a headache again, but hopefully we can slow it down a little bit," Harvin told reporters.
If that is the case, Harvin should continue to be the kick returner and become a more focal part of the offense, including the running game. More opportunities for Harvin is a good thing for Minnesota.
Harvin will have to improve to offset the loss of Sidney Rice for at least the first six weeks of the season. Sidney Rice was the jump ball, deep threat Favre loved to lob it too last season. Rice is just coming into his own as a receiver, drawing comparisons to Larry Fitzgerald. While not on Fitzgerald's level, Rice's ability in midair makes him an irreplaceable player.
But the Vikings have the talent to bide their time while waiting for him to get healthy.
Bernard Berrian, recently tabbed to be the team's punt returner in Week 1, is said to be 100 percent healthy now after an injury-riddled season. If he can be the speedy deep threat for Indianapolis Colts jersey
Favre, similar to Robert Brooks in the mid-90s, the Vikings could add another dimension to their passing attack.
Minnesota traded for Greg Camarillo a few weeks ago and he proceeded to catch four passes, including two third-down passes that went for first downs, in his first preseason game. Camarillo finds the open space on the field, doesn't drop passes, and should make plenty of key plays to keep the chains moving this season.
The Vikings kept four tight ends on their final roster, but Jim Kleinsasser, Jeff Dugan, and rookie Mickey Shuler figure to be used mainly for blocking. Visanthe Shiancoe is the pass-catching tight end and Favre's favorite red zone target. He will see more action split-wide this season Dallas Cowboys jersey
and could increase his stats from a career year last season, though 11 touchdowns will be hard to repeat.
Favre and the passing game will need a few weeks to come together just like last year, but only injuries will prevent them from being an aerial assault in the last quarter of the season.
