Matt Leinart did not lose his starting job due to injury, unless you consider a bruised ego an injury. AccuScore was frankly shocked that Leinart was named the starter in the first place. While he may be the younger QB, Kurt Warner is better and can actually get the ball to his stud receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin (in a contract dispute, but still playing well).

 CARDINALS 2008 FORECAST  W-L  PLAYOFF  PASSYD PER GAME  PASSTD PER GAME
 WITH LEINART STARTING 7-9 31% 244 1.5
 WITH WARNER STARTING 8-8 47% 261 1.8

As long as he can stay healthy the Cardinals can once again win half their games and contend for a playoff spot. They only had a 31 percent chance of making the playoffs with Matt Leinart getting 80 percent of the snaps [NOTE: Even though Leinart was named the starter, AccuScore still assumed the Cardinals would rely on Warner at many points during the season].

Fantasy owners already were high on Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, but this move to Warner should result in these two having an even bigger year than expected.
