January 3, 2009 Pro Football Weekly reports that because of Cardinals tight end Leonard Pope's numerous mental mistakes, the team will make finding a new tight end one of it's primary goals in the offseason.
Our View:Maybe the Cardinals will find one that is actually relevant to fantasy football as well. Pope caught all of nine passes for 77 yards with no touchdowns.
January 2, 2009 Leonard Pope is questionable for Saturday's playoff game against Atlanta due to his knee injury, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:He was able to practice Friday and the club expects him to play. The Cardinals don't utilize their tight ends that often, but will still be pleased to have him in the lineup.
December 28, 2008 Leonard Pope will start at tight end today when the Cardinals host the Seahawks, according to FOX Sports.
Our View:Pope is yet to reach the endzone over 12 games this season despite a strong campaign from quarterback Kurt Warner, and Pope does not merit fantasy attention at this point of the year.
November 23, 2008 Cardinals inactives: QB Brian St. Pierre (3rd), LB Clark Haggans, T Elliot Vallejo, T Brandon Keith, DT Alan Branch, WR Early Doucet, TE Leonard Pope, TE Jerame Tuman.
Our View:Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett (hamstring) and cornerback Roderick Hood are active and will start.
November 15, 2008 Leonard Pope is probable for Sunday's game at Seattle, according to the East Valley Tribune. He has been dealing with an ankle injury but was able to practice Friday.
Our View:Pope is the Cardinals' starting tight end, but has been a non-factor in the passing game with only five receptions for 36 yards over seven games. He has a favorable match-up against the Seahawks' 31st ranked pass defense, but is not a recommended fantasy option.
