Cassel completed 14 of 18 passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns
Cassel completed 14 of 18 passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Chiefs' 34-14 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Impacts: The yardage total was paltry, but the Chiefs have to be encouraged that Cassel was very accurate and didn't turn the ball over, especially after his forgettable debut in which he went 24 for 39 with one TD and two interceptions. Cassel could have a hard time duplicating Sunday's performance next week against the Giants, allowing a league-low 124.0 passing yards per game.

Cassel to start, but on a leash?
News: Matt Cassel will face the Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 3, coach Todd Haley said Tuesday. But the rookie head coach also said he would not hesitate to make a switch if he decided backup Brodie Croyle gives the winless Chiefs a better chance to do some damage. Cassel was mostly ineffective in his first start against Oakland while Croyle threw two touchdowns in Week 1 at Baltimore. Haley has been around some interesting quarterback decisions over his career, including last season's last-minute change of Kurt Warner from Matt Leinart in Arizona. "You've got to ultimately do what you think gives your team the best chance to win," Haley said. "If that means another quarterback being in there other than Matt Cassel, then sign me up." [...]

Chiefs' QB Cassel Coming Along
Listed As Questionable For Sunday
Matt Cassel appeared to be running more briskly in practice Wednesday morning, creating hope that the Kansas City Chiefs' No. 1 quarterback might start Sunday against the Oakland Raiders. Chiefs coach Todd Haley said Cassel, who injured his left knee during an Aug. 29 preseason game and sat out last weekend's season opener at Baltimore, would be listed as questionable. "No. 7 (Cassel), as I felt he would, he moved around a little better than he did at the end of the week," Haley said. "Again, this is going to be an evaluation deal with him. He did not participate in the entire practice, so he'll go on the injury report as questionable today." Cassel's left knee was still braced, but the slight limp he had last week wasn't evident. Haley declined to assess how much progress has been made by his quarterback, who signed a six-year contract for a guaranteed $28 million after coming from the New England Patriots in a trade. "I haven't talked to the doctors. But to my eye, he was improved some from last week," Haley said. "There are medical issues involved when an injury occurs. There are certain times that things take. But the player is doing everything under his power to be ready, which is usually a good thing." (NFL.com)
FF Today's Take: This is good news for Cassel owners, as you'd have to think a healthy Cassel at least equals, if not betters Croyle's decent totals from this past weekend.
Haley: Cassel has chance to play
News: Matt Cassel appeared to be running more briskly in practice Wednesday morning, creating hope that Kansas City's No. 1 quarterback might start on Sunday against the Raiders. Cassel injured his left knee in a preseason game on Aug. 29 and sat out the season opener at Baltimore on Sunday. His left knee was still braced, but he did not appear to be limping slightly as he'd done in practice last week. Brodie Croyle started in Cassel's place last week and would be expected to do the same if Cassel can't take on the Raiders. "No. 7 (Cassel), as I felt he would, he moved around a little better than he did at the end of the week," said head coach Todd Haley. "Again, this is going to be an evaluation deal with him. He did not participate in the entire practice, so he'll go on the injury report as questionable today. ... [T]o my eye, he was improved some from last week." [...]

Our View: It is good for the Chiefs that Cassel is probably going to start, but anyone thinking about starting him on your fantasy team this weekend needs to reconsider. He is going up against a ferocious Ravens' defense, and even if he was healthy he would be a risky play. Go with your other option this weekend, and go get one if you don't have one.
