We realize this is a total reach especially considering the Vikings will travel to Cincinnati on Sunday. So why are we high on Cassel? We watched him and his Vikings simply outhustle the red hot Eagles that we recommended was a good play in Week 15. Yes, that game was in Minnesota, which is a very tough place to play. We have been to that dome for baseball and football contests and it is ear shattering. As usual our excuse for choosing Cassel is that he is a veteran. Sure he failed in Kansas City (and things got ugly as you can see in the video below), and we realize Minnesota is out of the playoff picture. Those are also great reasons Cassel can be trusted. Basically, he has no pressure on him because nobody is expecting anything out of him. We also think Cassel can make the Vikings be bold. If he flourishes down the stretch, why not make him he starter next season? We all know they will draft a quarterback high this offseason. Dare they pull off a Green Bay like decision and make the high pick watch and learn? If so having Cassel on your roster to end the season could make him a Dynasty insurance policy.

Over the last three weeks, Tannehill has quietly put up solid numbers, with three touchdowns against Pittsburgh, 331 yards and two scores at the Jets, and even 310 yards against the stingy Panthers defense.
