Bucs deal backup QB McCown to Jags

Sep 05, 2009

The Buccaneers traded backup QB Luke Mccown to the Jaguars for a late-round conditional draft pick in 2010, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The Bucs had been shopping McCown, who was their No. 2 quarterback behind Byron Leftwich, for more than a week, and the Jaguars were looking to find a solid backup to starter David Garrard.

The move was made after both teams finalized their 53-man rosters and Tampa Bay wound up with four quarterbacks — Leftwich, McCown, Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson. The abundance of quarterbacks gave the Bucs trade options, which quickly materialized.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
