A surprise win hosting the Chargers in weather not exactly conducive to passing, followed by a less than convincing win at Cleveland without an offensive touchdown: the Chiefs are 2-0 but havent exactly wowed anyone with their offensive production.
Their backfield is the topic of many debates (J. Charles vs T. Jones), when you'd think that'd be the area of least concern given both backs have proven productive. Meanwhile, the passing game hasnt exactly peppered the highlight real. Cassel was worse in week 2's clement weather than in week 1's rainstorm, throwing for 2 picks. He's got just 244 yards total over 2 weeks and a completion rating of barely over 50%.
So is it time to give up on Kansas City's receivers?
- Dwayne Bowe was a top 20 WR in most drafts but has only managed 5 catches for 58 yards out of 10 targets. He's been touted as the next big thing for 2 years now but still hasnt proved consistent enough.
- Chris Chambers is old and clearly past his "prime": few targets and too many drops to be counted on
- Dexter McCluster: huge upside, big in dynasty leagues for sure, but not much more than a gamble at this point in redraft leagues, active ion special teams but a non factor so far in the receiving game.
Again, with Cassel at the helm, it's difficult to see much upside to Bowe and McCluster, although one could assume that with this running corps, defenses would leave some gaps in coverage. Still useless if Cassel isnt hitting the gaps though.
How's KC's OL? is it just not giving Cassel time to hit his receivers or to wait for his receivers to run their routes?
what's your take on that whole debacle? Can Cassel produce one week of decent stats, to make him a conceivable backup QB? Is Bowe a buy low candidate? is McCluster a diamond in the rough worth stashing for later?
