Despite the 2-0 start, Chiefs coach Todd Haley continue...

Sep 26, 2010

Despite the 2-0 start, Chiefs coach Todd Haley continues to call a conservative passing game and Cassel continues to be ripped in the local media. His passer rating is 55.8, second worst in the NFL. No quarterback has started at least 12 games with a passer rating that low since Browning Nagle for the Jets in 1992. Plus, the Chiefs have scored just 13 points on 20 possessions that started on their half of the field. But the Chiefs have no options. Brodie Croyle is 0-9 as a starter while Cassel has started just 32 games in the NFL and never started in college. Cassel is due a roster bonus of $7 million in March. The Chiefs ought to know by then whether they want to pay and keep him.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
