Locker and Hasselbeck were mired in a quarterback controversy this preseason, but Locker’s injury has opened the door for the 37-year old veteran to get another shot at starting. The upset victory over Pittsburgh will help his case for staying in the lineup.
Fantasy Impact: Matt Hasselbeck provides very little fantasy value, unless you are in a deep two quarterback league. His presence under center makes Kenny Britt slightly less valuable, although Britt did catch a touchdown from Hasselbeck last night.
Jake Locker is the more talented of the two quarterbacks, but he has been wildly inconsistent early in his career. Kendall Wright and Kenny Britt owners would like to see the young gunslinger back in the lineup soon, because his strong arm opens up the offense a bit more.
