Selling High- Matt Cassel

Matt Cassel is owned in most leagues nationwide but it may be time to sell the quarterback before he loses all value.

Analysis: Matt Cassel has struggled this year to the tune of a 79.0 quarterback rating. That’s the same passer rating as one Chad Henne. Regardless, rookie Jon Baldwin looked great against San Diego and hopes are even higher for Cassel and the Chiefs. But, if you take a look at the schedule it gets rather ugly- weeks 11-16 see Kansas City @NE, PIT, @CHI, @NYJ, GB, OAK. The Chiefs will not come out alive in terms of the playoffs when all is said and done which is why now is the perfect time to maximize the value on Cassel.

Despite the Jamaal Charles injury, the Chiefs remain a run centric team with thirty running attempts per game which is good for the sixth most in the NFL. Couple that with the fact that the Chiefs are thirtieth in the NFL in passing attempts and you have a quarterback that just may fall out of the lower QB2 tier soon. Make sure to capitalize on Cassel’s current value no later than next week after his contest with Miami.
