Fantasy Tip: Leinart is a backup option if you're desperate or in an extremely deep league, but only because of the quality of the options surrounding him in the offense. Expect Houston to rely more on the running game coming out of their bye week with rushers Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Derrick Ward won't see much work as the third fiddle, thus limiting his fantasy worth. Andre Johnson (hamstring) and Owen Daniels will see a drop in value with Leinart targeting them, but the return of Johnson and Leinart under center is likely to hurt Jacoby Jones the most.
Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:39:58 -0700 Houston Texans OG Mike Brisiel (shin), OT Duane Brown (knee), LB Brian Cushing (elbow), CB Johnathan Joseph (shoulder), QB Matt Leinart (thumb), S Danieal Manning (leg), LB DeMeco Ryans (hamstring) and LB Darryl Sharpton (back, groin) are listed as probable for Week 7.

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:02:07 -0700 The Seattle Seahawks are monitoring the market for Philadelphia Eagles QB Kevin Kolb. It appears more and more likely the Seahawks will lose unrestricted free-agent QB Matt Hasselbeck, so the Seahawks will be in the market for Kolb but have concerns about giving up a first-round pick for him. The team has a backup plan in place, as they could continue to develop QB Charlie Whitehurst and possibly acquire unrestricted free-agent QBs Tarvaris Jackson (Vikings) and Matt Leinart (Texans).

"We needed some depth," offensive coordinator Rick Dennison said Saturday, April 30.
Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:11:44 -0800 The Houston Texans offered first-round tenders to TE Owen Daniels and QB Matt Leinart Wednesday, March 2, according to the Houston Chronicle's John McClain. WR Jacoby Jones, DL Mark Anderson and OG Mike Brisiel received second-round tenders. OT Rashad Butler received a third-round tender.
