Summary

Quarterback Rank: #44All Players: #277

Cassel was benched in Week 11 and didn't get on the field after that point. He was having an awful season before the benching with seven touchdowns to 12 interceptions in nine games. Cassel had a great season in 2009 with the Chiefs but been pretty bad the last two seasons. He has 17 touchdowns to 21 interceptions the past two seasons. Cassel seems more backup material than anything after struggling most of his career as a starter. He'll get a chance to compete for the starting job this season with the Vikings but seems likely to be the top backup. Cassel doesn't have a great arm and takes few chances downfield. He struggles with accuracy at times and turnovers. He has enjoyed some success as a starter, though, but seems to lack confidence at this stage of his career. He looks more like backup material going forward.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Even if starting again, Cassel isn't very exciting for fantasy teams. He'll be more bad than good based on past experiences. We wouldn't bother with him on our fantasy teams. Cassel isn't worth the headache.

comments about Matt Cassel

Notes

Apr 21 12:02 am

Minnesota Vikings QB Christian Ponder remains the unquestioned starter entering his third NFL season. However, if he goes into a protracted slump like last season, the coaching staff could be inclined to take a look at QB Matt Cassel, who will make $3.7 million this season even if he doesn't take a snap. Cassel fits the system of offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave better than QB Joe Webb, who is expected to serve as the third QB.
Fantasy Impact: This is going to be a make or break year for Ponder.

Minnesota Vikings QB Matt Cassel said he understands that he will be the No. 2 quarterback and that QB Christian Ponder will be the team's starting quarterback. 'They said they're looking to bring somebody in with experience who could come in and basically be somebody who can step in if need be. The fact of the matter is, again, Christian is the starting quarterback. I think we'll have a great [meeting] room. I'm there to add value. I'm there to help him out in whatever capacity that is, and go from there,' Cassel said.
