The New Orleans Saints have QBs Ryan W. Griffin, Luke McCown and Seneca Wallace in camp, each vying for the primary backup job behind starting QB Drew Brees.

Fantasy Tip: It is likely McCown and Wallace win the job due to their veteran status, with Griffin spending time on the practice squad. However, unless disaster strikes and Brees does down with a long-term injury, none of the trio will have much in the way of fantasy appeal.

The Jacksonville Jaguars told QB David Garrard Tuesday, Sept. 6, that they plan to release him. QB Luke McCown will start in Week 1.

Fantasy Tip: The Jags may be tempted to open up the passing game up a bit more with McCown under center, but this move probably hurts the wideouts on roster more than it helps. McCown is a QB3 at best. Blaine Gabbert's debut may be expedited if McCown proves ineffective, but like McCown, he wouldn't be more than a third QB option.

McCown will undergo an MRI to determine the seriousness of the injury and was wearing a brace on the knee after the game. He tore the ACL in that knee in 2006, but it isn't likely the injury is the same because he was able to walk off under his own power.

"Especially when Luke has an amazing game like he did. ... You're going to have rumbles."

"Even though Luke was our number two last year, he didn't take many reps. We haven't had much chance to see him operate in our system. Minicamp was his first chance to get equal reps. This is a time for Luke to show he can compete with Dave. He's athletic, he's sharp. Can he push Dave when they're hitting you for real? We like what we see out of Luke in the meeting room and what we saw of him in minicamp," offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said.
