Fantasy football players in the news
By KFFL Staff
Quarterback
QB | Matt Leinart | Houston Texans | Free Agents
At this point, it would almost be an upset if the Seattle Seahawks did not sign Houston Texans impending free-agent QB Matt Leinart to come in as a backup. The Seahawks might not be crazy about what they have seen of Leinart on tape, but head coach Pete Carroll has won a lot of games with him, and he thinks he can win some more.
QB | Jake Locker | Tennessee Titans | Fantasy
Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said Sunday, June 19, that he is fine running the ball more if it takes pressure off of rookie QB Jake Locker. Since entering the NFL in 2008, Johnson has 925 carries. "I feel like he can come in and do some good things, but I think at the start I am going to have to take some pressure off of him," Johnson said.
QB | Cam Newton | Carolina Panthers | Fantasy
Carolina Panthers WR Steve Smith has been noncommittal about his future with the team, but at his foootball camp Friday, June 17, he and rookie QB Cam Newton have been bonding, which might bode well for the team keeping the 10-year veteran around. "Time will tell," Newton said.
Running Back
RB | Tiki Barber | Free Agent | Free Agents
Free-agent RB Tiki Barber (Giants) said failures off the field after his retirement from football in 2006 led to a yearlong bout with depression. Barber acknowledged in an HBO report to be aired Tuesday, June 21, that he now needs football more than it needs him. "I remember there were days where I would literally wake up, have coffee, get something to eat and sit on the couch and do nothing for 10 hours," Barber said. "I started to shrivel. I didn't have that confidence. I didn't have the, that aura anymore."
