Kurt Warner has reportedly been named the new Arizona Cardinals starting QB, replacing Matt Leinart.
Arizona coach Ken Wisenhunt has reportedly denied this claim, but there's absolutely nothing in Leinart's preseason performances that has inspired any confidence that he can get the job done. There's no question that Warner gives the Cardinals the best chance to win. I'm pretty sure Warner will be starting in week 1.
Fantasy Impact: Kurt Warner becomes very draftable, while Matt Leinart should be taken off of draft lists. Warner is a somewhat risky QB1 if starting, and Leinart is a very risky QB2 with no job security. Of bigger news here is Fitzgerald and Boldin. Fitzgerald, usually drafted among the top 5 WRs, can actually fulfill this promise with Warner behind center. He's appropriately valued if Warner is going to start, but he's over-valued if Leinart starts. Boldin's run-after-the-catch game should succeed under both QBs, so he's a solid WR2 under either scenario, although Warner is the preferred option under center for him as well.
