Cassel out 2-4 weeks. Best-case scenario, he could be rushed back for Week 1. Worst-case, KC hopes Brodie can last longer than last time.

Also, word is Devard Darling has torn ACL.

Is Thigpen gonna get the start?

Croyle is the guy, I believe. Has had a great camp. Thigpen will come in when Croyle gets snapped like the twig that he is.

I weep for whichever guy starts in Week 1 @ BAL -- It may be like taking bets on a dead pool. "Which KC QB escapes BAL with his marbles intact? Thigpen, Croyle, Guttierez, or none of the above?"

At this rate, I will take "None of the above"

I look for KC to get a goose egg in the first game.

Chiefs | Cassel could be out two to four weeks Sun Aug 30, 08:01 PM

Jason Cole, of Yahoo! Sports, reports Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel (knee) has a strained MCL in his right knee and he could miss two to four weeks, according to a team source. The injury is not expected to require surgery, but he could miss the team's Week 1 game. QB Tyler Thigpen would start if Cassel is unable to play.

Glad it's not to serious since he's my backup QB in my primary league.

Does this downgrade Bowe much? Or does it matter given the # of targets he see's and possession type routes...?

I would actually hope it would drop him down. if I thought I could get him in the 4th, I'd jump on him (PPR).

If he's only out for the Baltimore game (or less) I don't see that it would make a difference at all. Even if he's out four weeks, it's still just three of 16 games so Bowe will possibly have a lesser QB throwing to him for less than 20% of the games. Doesn't seem like it would change much at all.
