| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Chiefs TE Leonard Pope had a poor showing on Sunday in a Week 12 loss to the Chargers. He mustered only one reception, losing 3 yards on the play. | Analysis: Pope is not a relevant Fantasy option and should not be active in any format for Week 13 against the Broncos. |

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Chiefs TE Leonard Pope caught two passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against Pittsburgh. It was his first touchdown of the season. | Analysis: Pope has just one game this season with more than two catches and he is not targeted enough in the offense to use in Fantasy leagues. Despite his touchdown, leave him unowned. |

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Chiefs TE Leonard Pope caught three passes on Sunday in a Week 10 win over the Raiders, gaining a total of 11 yards. | Analysis: Pope will get a reception here and there, but is not a consistent enough contributor to be relied upon outside of the very deepest of Fantasy formats. |

|
Updated 11/8/2009 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Chiefs TE Leonard Pope had one catch for five yards in Week 9 at Jacksonville. He was thrown to one time in the game. | Analysis: Pope has just three catches this season and has not had multiple catches in a game. Fantasy owners should not start him in any league. |

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Kansas City TE Leonard Pope made one catch for 5 yards Week 6 in a win at Washington. | Analysis: Pope now has two catches for 13 yards in three games this season.

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle, TE Leonard Pope and WR Terrence Copper were the only three Chiefs players not to record an offensive statistic in Week 4 against the Giants. | Analysis: None of the players on this list figure to have much Fantasy appeal in the near future.

Chiefs make flurry of moves
|
Updated 9/30/2009 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: The winless Chiefs have signed former Arizona tight end Leonard Pope, linebacker David Herron and cornerback Mike Richardson. To make room, they released cornerback Ricardo Colclough, linebacker Monty Beisel and tight end Tom Crabtree. | Analysis: The only interesting name listed above is Pope, who we thought might land with the Chiefs since his offensive coordinator in Arizona, Todd Haley, is now the head coach. Pope is one to watch once he starts to get playing time, but he and the rest of the Chiefs' additions and releases aren't worth owning in Fantasy play right now. |
 Pope dropped by the Cardinals
|
Updated 9/4/2009 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: The Cardinals released TE Leonard Pope on Friday as they got their roster down to 53 players. Pope, who has amazing size, has been a huge disappointment since being taken in the third round of the 2006 draft. | Analysis: Pope shouldn't have a problem finding a new home, but playing time could be an issue. Keep him off Fantasy rosters for now. |

Who's the Cards' starting TE anyway?
|
Updated 8/18/2009 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Just about every position is set as the Arizona Cardinals wind down training camp. The tight end though? Not even close. Five players are vying for the spot with no one distancing himself from the pack so far. Stephen Spach was working with the first team on Monday, with Ben Patrick on the second and Leonard Pope on the third. Anthony Becht and Dominique Byrd are also in the mix. But things can change in a hurry. "That's a battle. It's a contested battle," coach Ken Whisenhunt said Tuesday. "We've got three more preseason games and practices to find out and we'll make our decision at that point." | Analysis: The Cardinals might end the preseason with four of these guys on the roster as Ben Patrick will be suspended to start the year. Pope has long had potential to be a sleeper for Fantasy purposes, but with the Cardinals' receivers playing such a huge role in the offense, the tight end only sees a handful of yards each week. Whomever is the Cardinals' starting tight end isn't worth owning in Fantasy play. |

Becht hopes to start for Cardinals
|
Updated 5/4/2009 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: The Arizona Republic reports Cardinals TE Anthony Becht wants to start for the team this year. There are five tight ends on the roster: Ben Patrick, Leonard Pope, Stephen Spach, Alex Schor and Becht, a 10-year veteran who joined the team as a free agent. Patrick and Pope split time as the starter for much of the season, though they battled through injuries and inconsistency. Spach joined the team late in the year and became the starter, only to suffer torn knee ligaments in a Jan. 10 playoff win over Carolina. Schor spent the year on the practice squad. But now there is Becht, who at 6-feet-5, 280 pounds, is a big target and a strong blocker. "I can still catch, I can still run, but my view is Coach (Whisenhunt) wants to get the running game going," said Becht. "For whatever reason, they didn't run the ball that well last year and it still worked out all right, but you definitely need a balance and I'm hoping I can help with that." | Analysis: Becht's best season came in 2003, when he caught 40 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns for the Jets. Still, Becht isn't going to catch many passes in this offense. Even if he wins the job ahead of Pope or the other players competing, ignore Becht in all leagues. Only Pope would have minimal Fantasy value if he's named the starter. |

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Cardinals TE Stephen Spach, TE Leonard Pope and WR Sean Morey did not record an offensive statistic in Week 16 at New England. | Analysis: None of the players listed above have a chance to produce significant Fantasy totals and for that reason should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues until further notice. |

| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Cardinals TE Stephen Spach, RB Tim Castille, WR Early Doucet, TE Leonard Pope and WR Sean Morey did not record an offensive statistic in Week 15 against Minnesota. | Analysis: None of the players listed above have a chance to produce significant Fantasy totals and for that reason should be left on the waiver wire in all leagues until further notice. |

TE Pope makes only one reception
|
Updated 11/28/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Cardinals TE Leonard Pope caught only a 25-yard pass Week 13 at Philadelphia. He has only eight catches all season. | Analysis: Clearly, Pope doesn't produce Fantasy-relevant numbers. He should remain on waivers for Week 14 against the Rams. |
|
Cardinals list Week 12 inactives
|
Updated 11/23/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: The Cardinals listed the following players as inactive for Week 12 against the Giants: QB Brian St. Pierre (third QB), WR Early Doucet, TE Leonard Pope, TE Jerame Tuman, LB Clark Haggans and DL Alan Branch. | Analysis: None of the players on this list should be considered viable Fantasy options. They are not in a position to contribute regular stats as they aren't in line for regular playing time. They've got some depth chart climbing to do and should be left on the waiver wire. |

Pope hauls in two passes Week 11
|
Updated 11/16/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Cardinals TE Leonard Pope caught two passes for nine yards during a Week 11 win against the Seahawks. He caught both of the passes thrown his way and his longest gain went eight yards. | Analysis: Pope caught his first pass Week 11 since Oct. 12 against the Cowboys. He has been hobbled by injury recently, but even before he went down, Pope wasn't a big factor on offense despite being a starter. Pope has little to no Fantasy value heading into Week 12 against the Giants. |

Six Cardinals held statless Week 10
|
Updated 11/11/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Cardinals TE Leonard Pope, RB Terrelle Smith, RB Tim Castille, TE Stephen Spach, WR Sean Morey and QB Matt Leinart all dressed, but failed to record an offensive stat Week 10 vs. San Francisco. | Analysis: Pope is the only starter among the list of players that didn't factor Week 10. Still, he doesn't see a lot of passes thrown his way and has as much Fantasy value as the other players -- little to none. Make sure to keep all of these players reserved heading into Week 11 against the Seahawks. |

Pope could return Monday night
|
Updated 11/7/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: Arizona Cardinals tight end Leonard Pope returned to practice on Friday and might be able to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. "He looked good," coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "He actually did everything today, which is surprising." | Analysis: Pope and fellow tight end Ben Patrick were listed as questionable for the 49ers. Pope has missed the last two games with an ankle injury. Patrick has missed three with a knee injury. Pope has just five catches for 36 yards this season. He has not been a big part of the offense and is not a recommended Fantasy option Week 10. |

Cardinals list Week 9 inactives
|
Updated 11/2/2008 |
| Leonard Pope, TE KC | |
| News: The Arizona Cardinals have listed the inactives for their Week 9 game at St. Louis. Not in uniform will be: QB Brian St. Pierre (third QB), DE Travis LaBoy (groin), DT Alan Branch (coach's decision), WR Early Doucet (groin), TE Leonard Pope (ankle) and TE Ben Patrick (knee). | Analysis: Pope and Patrick have some Fantasy value when healthy, but should both be benched this week. Jeremy Tuman will start in their place. The other guys in this list can continue to be ignored in all formats. |
