Matt Cassel (QB) - 08/30/2009

Kansas City Chief's quarterback, Matt Cassel left Saturdays preseason game with a strained MCL and is expected to miss 2 to 4 weeks.

NFG - I do not have Cassel very high on my player rankings and hardly consider this fantasy worthy news. However, there are likely some who are drafting him and they need to know that he may miss a week or two in the regular season.

Kansas City Chiefs Fantasy Players

Quarterback - Matt Cassel - (Position Rank - 14)
(Passing) 3,000 Yards, 18 TD, 12 IT, 45 Sacks
(Rushing) 220 Yards, 2 TD, 4 Fumbles
As good as any quarterback is, he can still only look as good as the team around him. Cassel was set up to succeed in New England and he is not set up nearly as well in KC. Bowe is very good, but he is no Randy Moss. KC does not have a second receiver who comes close to matching Welker and their coaches and scheme are not as good either.

Running Back - Larry Johnson - (Position Rank - 29)
(Rushing) 1,000 Yards, 6 TD, 4 Fumbles
(Receiving) 20 Catches, 100 Yards, 1 TD
Since his 416 carry season, Johnson has not made it to 200 carries in a season again. He is supposedly healthy now, but how long will it stay that way when the season starts and the real hitting begins? He will also be 30 this year and the older one gets, the less of a beating their body can take.

Wide Receiver - Dwayne Bowe - (Position Rank - 12)
(Receiving) 82 Catches, 1,100 Yards, 8 TD, 0 Fumble
Bowe is young, healthy and by far the best receiver on the Chiefs. He will no longer have Tony Gonzalez drawing attention away from him so he will really be depending on Larry Johnson being a force once again. I dont count on that too much.

Wide Receiver - Bobby Engram - (Position Rank - 66)
(Receiving) 55 Catches, 600 Yards, 3 TD, 1 Fumbles
Engram was almost not worth listing here. Take him very late in your fantasy football drafts, if at all.

Dwayne Bowe (WR) - 08/11/2009

Kansa City Chiefs wide receiver, Dwayne Bowe was listed as the third receiver on the teams first official depth chart. It is believed that his problem of dropping balls in camp has drawn the ire of the new coach and being placed as the third receiver may just be the coach getting a message out.

NFG - This gives me reason to keep a close eyes on Bowe in the coming weeks before I draft my teams. If he continues to drop passes, he will not be worth drafting until late rounds.

Matt Cassel (QB) - 06/16/2009

The ‘Kansas City Star’ named quarterback, Matt Cassel as one of the five players who has stood out during the Chiefs’ off-season workouts.

NFG- Cassel does not have near the weapons he had in New England and shouldn’t put up top numbers. Draft him as a #2 QB in your fantasy football leagues with possibilities of moving up to a #1 QB.
