Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Warner, who threw for 27 touchdowns in 2007 after taking over for an injured Matt Leinart, completed 12-of-17 passes in the preseason for 142 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions and a passing rating of 95.7. Leinart, playing significantly more, completed 28-of-45 passes for 354 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions and a passing rating of 73.8. ... Leinart looked OK in three of the four preseason games, but struggled mightily in the third game against Oakland, throwing three interceptions. He rebounded against Denver in the final preseason game and Whisenhunt praised Leinart for responding to adversity. Yet Warner, who has a more defined track record, got the call.
