Matt Leinart 2008 Fantasy Projections

by Kori Ellis on April 3rd, 2008

Matt Leinarts biggest offseason news was when he got pictures published on the internet with him mingling with drunk co-eds. Matt Leinart in a Jacuzzi with a handful of young ladies? Matt Leinart holding up a beer bong? This isn’t what the Arizona Cardinals had in mind for Leinart in terms of an offseason workout.

For fantasy football owners, this was also bad news. Leinart was extremely underwhelming in 2007, to the point that Kurt Warner became the obviously better option at quarterback. Leinart struggled with everything from his condition to leadership. Coming into 2008, everyone was hoping that Leinart would dedicate himself to becoming a star quarterback.

So far, it doesn’t appear like Leinart will be a trustworthy option in 2008. He has great wide receivers in Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald but he just doesn’t seem to want to be a good quarterback bad enough. Could Warner once again steal the job from him? It’s certainly possible.

Leinart’s fantasy projections for 2008 depend greatly on the effort Leinart is willing to put into getting better. If he dedicates himself to football, he has a chance to become a quarterback who throws for 3,000 yards and gets 22-25 touchdowns. If he doesn’t dedicate himself, expect another disappointing season.

If you are picking Leinart in your 2008 fantasy football draft, be sure to handcuff Kurt Warner to the Leinart selection. The good news is that at least one of the two should have a good season.

Here is a video of Matt Leinart with the co-eds and the beer bong assistance:
