NFL fantasy football: John Skelton named Cardinals starter

Finally, our long national nightmare is over – John Skelton will be the Arizona Cardinals starting quarterback in Week 1. That answers the only real question surrounding the QB competition in the desert; namely, what would it mean for Larry Fitzgerald. After watching that duo duke it out in the preseason, it was plain to see that there would be little to no fantasy draft value there. But with Skelton besting Kevin Kolb, it adds a little something extra to Fitz’s value. The perennial fantasy monster had another big year in 2011, but his best weeks came with Skelton under center.

Eagles | Release Mike Kafka

Updating a previous report, the Philadelphia Eagles released QB Mike Kafka after not being able to find a trade partner Friday, Aug. 31.

That Trent Edwards also beat out Kafka shows you why no team offered the Eagles anything in a trade.

Steelers | Seven players released

The Pittsburgh Steelers have released QB Jerrod Johnson, OT Trai Essex, WR Derrick Williams, FS DaMon Cromartie-Smith, WR David Gilreath, WR Marquis Maze and WR Toney Clemons.

Our View: Clemons and Maze are both practice squad candidates. Maze is a special teams/return man/slot receiver, and Clemons is a raw, but talented receiver. The Steelers may carry only four wide receivers into the regular season.
