Just heard that the Minnesota Vikings acquired Miami Dolphins wide receiver Greg Camarillo in a trade for cornerback Benny Sapp. Camarillo caught 105 passes over the past two seasons with the Dolphins. He does his best work out of the slot. Camarillo hasn’t been a “wow” guy but he does get the job done. His fantasy value goes up in the trade and so does Favre’s. More details to follow.

Clipped from the Judd Zulgad article: 

The Vikings have acquired wide receiver Greg Camarillo from the Miami Dolphins, according to multiple reports.

The move comes a day after the team signed veteran free agent Javon Walker and two days after Sidney Rice underwent surgery to repair a hip injury. Rice is expected to be out for at least half the season, if not more.

One football expert’s view:

Love this deal!  Camarillo is the classic overachiever. He doesn’t have the physicals to wow anyone. But he gets things done. He’s caught 105 passes over the last two seasons with not exactly Peyton Manning throwing passes. He strikes me as a guy that could fit into a Brett Favre WR rotation. Especially given the opportunity that Sidney Rice’s injury will open up. Let’s see how this shakes out but at the very least, Camarillo’s value just went up getting out of a crowded Miami WR group. It’s an uptick for Brett Favre as well to add a capable receiver.

I really like camarillos upside with the vikings playing out of the slot! just picked him up!

who do yall think will hold more fantasy value? camarillo or berrian?

It has to be B*Twice! He has been there around Favre for some time now. I like the TE to benefit the most though.

While I think Berrian starts the season at the No. 2 spot, there’s no guarantee he’ll stay there. I think this is a good situation for Camarillo - much better than Miami where he would compete for Marshall’s scraps against Davone Bess and Brian Hartline. There was also talk that the Dolphins would cut Camarillo - the guy whose overtime touchdown catch against the Ravens saved the Dolphins from on 0-16 season in 2007. Hey it’s not personal…it’s business!

I also believe that even with the migraines, Percy Harvin will be the recipient of some of the balls that would have gone to Sidney Rice and maybe an additional 300-350 yards. Should Rice miss the entire season, Camarillo could potentially split the rest of what would have been Rice’s stats with Berrian regardless of whether he’s the WR2 or WR3. At this point, I don’t expect much from Javon Walker despite the fact that his most productive seasons were with Favre in Green Bay. That was then, this is now. Walker caught 41 passes and one touchdown in the last three years. We’ll have to see what happens. 

In terms of immediate fantasy value, I think Camarillo is probably a better value in deeper leagues (14-16-plus teams) where you are always looking for guys in the late middle rounds or later rounds of the draft who will see a decent amount of playing time. I have Camarillo on my cheat sheet as quality WR4/WR5. My initial projection is around 800 yards and 5 or 6 touchdowns. That said, Camarillo doesn’t drop many balls (last year he caught everything thrown his way - 50 receptions), he’s a good route runner, and is best-suited out of the slot. If he develops chemistry with Favre, the fourth-year Camarillo could have his most productive season yet. We’ll get to see which team got the better deal in Week 3 when the Vikings play the Dolphins at Mall of America Field.
