Player Notes
August 7, 2008
Matt Cassel is battling Matt Gutierrez for the number two role at quarterback, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:They will compete in preseason action tonight, when New England hosts Baltimore. Neither QB will hold any fantasy value as long as Tom Brady remains intact.

Matt Cassel has one year left on his rookie contract and there is speculation that his time in New England is running out as the team selected San Diego State quarterback Kevin O'Connell in the third round of the draft (94th overall), according to FanNation. That was the highest the team drafted a quarterback since Drew Bledsoe in 2004, who went number one overall.

Our View:Cassel only threw 39 passes in his NFL career, but he has looked good at times in brief action, and would find a job as a backup in another city if the Patriots decide not to re-sign him.
