Following the Cardinals’ loss to the Raiders on Friday night, Oakland DT Tommy Kelly reportedly said to his teammates on the sidelines, “That boy’s scared,” in reference to Arizona QB Kevin Kolb. After the game Kelly went on to say, “Anytime anybody gets close to him he starts looking at the refs. As a defensive lineman you love a quarterback like that. He ain’t even trying to look at routes no more.”

John Skelton is shaping up to be the Cardinals’ Week 1 starter.

Schefter: John Skelton the favorite to start in ARI

Arizona plans to start QB Kevin Kolb against Oakland on Friday, however John Skelton is now considered the favorite to win starting QB job.

Fantasy Impact:

In seven starts and one near-start, John Skelton averaged 239 yards, 1.8 TDs and 1.4 INTs, which translates to QB16 numbers. More importantly (for the Cardinals), he went 6-2 in those eight games. Meanwhile, in eight full games (going 2-6) Kolb averaged 244 yards, 1.0 TDs and 1.1 INTs, which equate to QB18 numbers. Fantasy-wise, the starting QB for the Cardinals will likely put up solid QB2 numbers, but whoever wins the job will be on a short leash, and that makes it a situation to avoid.

However, the situation is important for Larry Fitzgerald, who caught 42 passes for 753 yards and six touchdowns in the eight games with John Skelton under center. He caught 38 passes for 658 yards and two touchdowns in the eight games where Kevin Kolb threw the most passes. Skelton targeted Fitzgerald 11.0 times per game. Kolb targeted Fitzgerald 8.1 times per game. Over the course of the season, Fitzgerald scored 43% more fantasy points with Skelton under center.

As the Cardinals begin their fourth week of training camp, the competition between quarterbacks John Skelton and Kevin Kolb remains as tight as it was a month ago.

That's not good news for the Cardinals because the situation is unsettled for the worst possible reason: Neither player has distinguished himself.

Fantasy Impact:

Saints knock off Cards 17-10 to open preseason

In Drew Brees' lone offensive drive, the Saints QB picked up where they left off in January. The team buzzed down the field for the first touchdown of 2012. The Cardinals, totally asleep at the wheel, did nothing to stop the running game. New Orleans' three-headed monster of Mark Ingram, Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas might toy with the 3,000-yard mark this season.

On his first pass of the 2012 preseason, Cards QB Kevin Kolb was picked off by Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins. On his second drive, Kolb floated passes to phantom-men and ran rattled behind an overwhelmed offensive line. On drive No. 3, disaster struck. Kolb was injured, leaving with a rib contusion.

The Cards John Skelton, by contrast, threw the ball well. He moved the Cardinals and led them on a long, balanced scoring drive.

Fantasy Impact:

Saints RB Travaris Cadet also shined collecting 5 passes for 80 yards and a TD, doing his best Darren Sproles imitation.
