Football Hotpage > Week Four – Quarterback Changes Already

After just three weeks, the quarterback injuries and benchings (for poor play) are starting to roll in. Brian Griese has a great chance for success in week four taking over for Rex Grossman with a start against the Detroit Lions. Rookie Trent Edwards takes over for the injured J.P. Losman, and while the might be a smattering of success, it is fools-gold for a fantasy team to play a rookie quarterback on a regular basis. Daunte Culpepper gets the nod in Oakland for the injured Josh McCown and you can bet that Daunte will want to show the Dolphins management that they made a mistake in letting him walk. It appears that Matt Leinart is on the hot seat in Arizona with veteran Kurt Warner in play. And finally, Jake Delhomme may sit this week out giving much-maligned David Carr another chance.

Remember that Week Four is the start of bye weeks with the Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskins, and Tennessee Titans having the first chance to take a week off.

Good luck to all this fantasy football season!

No Jeff King in your tight end rankings?

Boldin is ranked 85 due to his injury. Ommitting Jeff King was an oversight.
