Let the rumors begin: Jets QB Clemens to Arizona?

Aug 26, 2010

The Arizona Cardinals like collecting former New York Jets. They traded for Kerry Rhodes, signed Jay Feely as an unrestricted free agent and signed Alan Faneca after he was released. Even the Cards' head coach, Ken Whisenhunt, is a former Jets assistant.

Might they add another to the list by pursuing Kellen Clemens?

The Cards have quarterback issues. They benched the disappointing Matt Leinart this week, deciding to go with Derek Anderson for their game against the Chicago Bears. Some folks are reporting that it's a permanent move, with speculation that Leinart could be dumped.

In that case, the Cards would be looking for a veteran. Enter, Clemens, whose roster spot is anything but secure. Clemens has played well in the preseason, but the No. 2 job belongs to Mark Brunell and it's hard to imagine them paying Clemens $1.1 million to be third string. The other candidate for No. 3, Kevin O'Connell, makes $470,000.

As ESPNNewYork.com reported two weeks ago, the Jets are open to trading Clemens. Obviously, GM Mike Tannenbaum likes doing business with Arizona. Could be something to keep an eye on.

TE Evan Engram out for the season. Surgery coming on labrum in shoulder.

Related Players: Brenton Strange, Luke Farrell, Josiah Deguara

Fantasy Impact:

Bummer for Engram, who will finish the season as the TE16 with 7.3 half-PPR PPG in nine weeks.

It's unlikely that Strange pops up as a TE streamer through the remainder of the season, with no more byes on the horizon.

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown's practice window to open "Friday or Monday"

Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown has received final clearance to practice, paving the way for him to play before the regular season ends.

Brown, who is recovering from surgery to repair his SC joint, should have his window opened Friday or Monday. The team will be cautious.

Fantasy Impact:

If Brown were cleared by Week 17, he would be incredibly tough to start in pretty much any sort of fantasy league with Championships on the line. However, he could be an interesting click for Playoff-only leagues if he can ramp up in time.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker misses second straight practice

For a second straight day today, Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III didn’t practice due to his calf injury.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like things should be cleared out for Charbonnet once again in what could be a very close game against the Packers. If Walker misses Week 15, fire Charbs up as a high-end RB2.
