Fantasy Preview: Thursday Night Football

The views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.

QB Matt Cassel, Chiefs

Last Week: 218 passing yards, TD, 2 turnovers

Cassel has been plagued with injuries for the past few seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, excluding his first season where he led them to the playoffs and earned a trip to Hawaii.  Lately, though, he has been
receiving more criticism than anyone for the team’s failures — past and present — which is not uncommon for any struggling team to blame the starting quarterback .  What better chance could Cassel ask for than on a prime time stage to show all the doubters he’s still got something?

RB Ronnie Brown, Chargers

Last Week: 102 total yards

Brown is always a risky play due to the plethora of running backs San Diego has established and maintains throughout this season in particular. However, his seven catches for 85 yards and 17 rushing yards last week alone give a more comforting feeling to the situation. Brown has been making his mark on offense in both the passing and rushing attacks and could finally get a chance to score his first touchdown of the year.
