The brief Brady Quinn stint in Kansas City did not bode well for Dwayne Bowe's numbers. With Matt Cassel back in the No. 1 role this week, Bowe saw an increase in production, catching eight passes for 79 yards Thursday night.
Dwayne Bowe sees fantasy value increase with Matt Cassel under center
Dwayne Bowe looked more like his old self on Thursday night. We break down the fantasy implications.

Cassel continues to have a strong connection with Bowe, looking for him often throughout each game. Bowe recorded 10 targets in Week 9 against the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: By no means is Cassel an impressive quarterback, but he at least knows who to get the ball to. Bowe is the best weapon the Chiefs have in the passing game. As long as Cassel is starting, Bowe's fantasy value will remain strong.
Quinn will supposedly take back the starting gig when he’s healthy. For whatever reason, Romeo Crennel feels he needs to stick with the lesser of the two quarterbacks. If Quinn does start again, beware of Bowe’s value going into free fall.
