Entering 2010, the future looked bright for Kolb after the Eagles jettisoned Donovan McNabb in order to make room for Kolb in the starting lineup. The decision to go with Kolb was based largely on his production in a pair of 2009 starts, where he threw for 718 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. That production, along with a solid supporting cast in terms of skill position players and the offensive line, made Kolb a darling for fantasy pundits, many of whom were expecting him to have a breakout season. The hype lasted two quarters into the season before Kolb went down to injury, losing his starting position to Michael Vick in the process. With his trade to the Cardinals in the offseason, Kolb gets another chance to start, albeit not with the same weapons that exist in Philadelphia. Kolb was schooled in the West Coast offense and is an accurate passer on short patterns, but he hasn’t shown the same accuracy on deep passes. With no proven starting wide receiver opposite Larry Fitzgerald and with an aging Todd Heap at tight end, expecting Kolb to be a consistent fantasy producer is a stretch. He’s a QB2 for 2011.
Comment:Kolb to the Cardinals gives Larry Fitzgerald's a great shot at double-digit touchdowns once again.
FF Today's Take:Skelton has been the better QB in Arizona anyway but it goes to show that Concussion symptoms can linger. Expect to see Skelton against Cincinnati and for Kolb to possibly return next week.
Kevin Kolb to start Saturday?-- Tue Dec 20 8:10 pm -- Cardinals QB expects to pass concussion tests this week
Kevin Kolb said he felt great exercising on Monday, no setbacks, and looks forward to practice on Wednesday(Kent Somers on Twitter)
FF Today's Take:Things are certainly looking up for Kolb who looks as if he will return to the lineup Saturday. But backup John Skelton has been terrific in relief of Kolb winning five of his six starts. Just because Kolb is healthy, it doesn't neccessarily mean that he will start over Skelton in Week 16. Keep tabs on this situation as it develops.
Skelton to start for Cardinals-- Sat Dec 17 12:10 pm -- Kevin Kolb out with concussion
Arizona Cardinals quarterback John Skelton will start Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, an league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Saturday.

FF Today's Take:Skelton isn't much of a fantasy option as the Cardinals should control this game on the ground against the Browns. Skelton's 17.8 FPts per game ranks him 19th among all quarterbacks.
Kevin Kolb limited in practice-- Thu Dec 15 8:35 pm -- Concussion threatens Kolb's Week 15 availability
FF Today's Take:Kolb isn't out of the woods yet. Most Cardinals insiders expect John Skelton to start again this week. It is likely that Kolb will be a game-time decision at best on Sunday.
Kevin Kolb back at practice-- Thu Dec 1 7:37 pm -- Cards QB on track to start this weekend
FF Today's Take:That`s two straight days that Kolb has practiced. Although sore, he apparently suffered no setbacks. Expect Kolb to start this week - good news for Larry Fitzgerald owners!
Kevin Kolb practices Wednesday-- Thu Dec 1 12:40 am -- Cardinals QB nearing return
Quarterback Kevin Kolb went through a full workout on Wednesday, the strongest indication yet that he finally is ready to return to the Arizona Cardinals' lineup. Coach Ken Whisenhunt tempered his optimism, though, waiting to see how Kolb's injured foot responds on Thursday before commenting on the quarterback's status for Sunday's game against Dallas.(SI)
FF Today's Take:Kolb's return could mean more consistent production from Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald has more than 60 receiving yards in each of the six games that Kolb has started. In the four games that John Skelton has been under center, Fitzgerald has broken the 60-yard mark just once.
Kevin Kolb likely won't play this week-- Tue Nov 15 6:40 pm -- Host of injuries should keep Cards QB out again this week
Jason La Canfora reports that Kevin Kolb "will be doubtful to return this week. Dealing with ligament damage, bone bruise and sprain in foot, plus turf toe."(Jason LaCanfora on Twitter)
FF Today's Take:Kolb has been awful this season while his replacement John Skelton has gone 2-0. Expect Kolb to sit with injury this week and possibly beyond due to a lack of effectiveness.
