And Cassel excelled in a starting role after a slow start. He completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,693 yards with 23 total touchdowns and just 11 interceptions. He had five games with three-plus touchdown passes, proving to be a big-game quarterback. A trade to the Chiefs gives Cassel a chance to be a No. 1 quarterback. The Chiefs could have a wide-open offense, running something similar to the Cardinals from the past few seasons. Cassel doesn't have a great arm and doesn't do a great job of pushing the ball downfield, but is accurate and does a good job of limiting turnovers. FANTASY OUTLOOK Don't expect Cassel to repeat last season. He moves to a much worse offense. But Cassel has some upside in what could be a pass-heavy offense. Consider him a backup fantasy option worthy of some spot starts. 2009-10-25 18:23:02 The Associated Press reports Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel was 10-for-25 for 97 yards with a touchdown pass and three interceptions Week 7 against the San Diego Chargers. Fantasy Impact: Cassel had a disappointing game in a favorable matchup.
