With the release of Jake Rudock, Matt Cassel will be the backup QB for Matthew Stafford in Detroit.
Fantasy Impact
Stafford has started all 16 games for seven straight seasons in Detroit, so Cassel basically just won the job to hold a clipboard with a front row seat for Lions' games this season. Cassel could be an adequate fill-in for the Lions if needed but is not worth a roster spot in fantasy.
