Leinart impresses coach

Aug 26, 2009

Cardinals HC Whisenhunt still isn't ready to formally announce who the backup quarterback will be to Kurt Warner this season, even though most people assume it again will be Matt Leinart.

Brian St. Pierre remains in contention, but when talking about Leinart on Tuesday, the Cardinals head coach sounded very impressed with what he's been seeing.

"I think at that position there's an evolution you have to go into and with what I've seen from Matt, I think it's maturity," Whisenhunt said.

"He understands what he has to do to be successful. A lot of times as a young player, you don't understand what it takes."

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.
