for the Pats defense on Monday night!

Just read he needs surgery that will end it. Per rotoworld...

That could be a nice pickup

I know very little about Tyler Palko, but one would assume this is a huge hit to Bowe's value moving forward.

NFL.com depth chart shows Palko then Stanzi.

As a Bowe owner, this sucks.

He was sucking lately anyway. He's dead to me now.

Maybe this will help Bowe.

Maybe this will help Bowe.

Who was that one guy once upon a time when the starter got hurt and everyone thought Pickens/Scott's values would go down? oh yeah, Jeff Blake and his punt passes. Same thing when 'get your roll on' went down and the backup punted to Moss as much as possible. that guy still owes Moss some money for keeping him in the league. Bowe owners can hope for that.

... McCluster? Time for those checkdowns/screens/etc ...

Yeah, not sure if teams force this guy to beat them, if he uses Bowe as a security blanket, etc. Its not like Cassel was lights out anyway.

KC lost Moeaki in the preseason game 4, then Jamaal Charles, now Matt Cassel. Brutal. This team is cursed. Hopefully enough that Todd Haley gets a free pass and doesn't lose his job.

From Rotoworld...

Haley deemed the injury "significant," and confirmed that Tyler Palko will be the Chiefs' starter indefinitely, although rookie Ricky Stanzi is waiting in the wings. Cassel can be dropped in all fantasy leagues, and the Chiefs may do the same with him after this season. The 29-year-old is due a $5.25 million base salary in 2012. Kansas City could turn in another direction should it find a quarterback worth drafting in the first round or installing as a starter after signing in free agency. Palko's insertion will present a downgrade for all Chiefs skill players. The former undrafted free agent is undersized with a weak arm, and would be a third-stringer on most NFL teams.

Great...especially the bolded part.

If anything we will see more McCluster as the team won't be in the lead very much.

Some people win the lottery, some people avoid getting struck by lightning, Matt on the other hand times it perfectly and gets injured to avoid going 0-5. He is one lucky dude.
