Who's the Cards' starting TE anyway?
|
Updated 8/18/2009 |
| Stephen Spach, TE ARI | |
| 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 |
| Stephen Spach, TE ARI | |
| 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. |

Torn ACL ends Spach's season
|
Updated 1/12/2009 |
| Stephen Spach, TE ARI | |
| News: Cardinals starting TE Stephen Spach is out for the playoffs with a torn knee ligament. Spach tore his right anterior cruciate ligament while blocking in the second half of Saturday night's 33-13 victory over Carolina. He was signed as a free agent on Oct. 28 to shore up the injury-depleted position and became a starter against San Francisco on Nov. 10. His blocking helped the team's improved running game, and he had a game-clinching 23-yard catch on a third-and-16 situation late in Arizona's 30-24 wild-card victory over Atlanta. | Analysis: Spach wasn't productive enough to warrant Fantasy use, so this injury shouldn't impact anyone. |

| 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. |

Cardinals make roster moves
|
Updated 10/28/2008 |
| Stephen Spach, TE ARI | |
| News: The Cardinals signed tight end Stephen Spach to a one-year contract Tuesday and released safety Oliver Celestin.

Celestin, a five-year NFL veteran from Texas Southern, played in two games for Arizona this season. | Analysis: Neither of these players were or are expected to produce significant stats on a regular basis to begin with. Keep them off of Fantasy rosters until further notice. |
