2. Todd Haley, Kansas City, head coach: The second-year man is going to get himself some coach of the year votes at this rate. Even though the Chiefs are still a work in progress, Haley has his team playing very hard and they clearly believe in his system. Haley had a gutsy call on fourth-and-inches that sealed the win at Cleveland on Sunday. The Chiefs, who won a total of 10 games the past three seasons, are 2-0 for the first time since 2005." These are some pretty nice words from espn's Bill Williamson

Matt Cassel surprisingly impacted the fantasy scene last year and looks to do the same in Kansas City. Former New England and new Kansas City GM Scott Pioli will help ensure Cassel's transition goes smoothly. His new No. 1 wideout, Dwayne Bowe, is a rising star and one of the game's most talented young receivers. He offers the big-play ability that Randy Moss provided Cassel in New England. Underrated Bobby Engram battled injuries in Seattle last season, but he has the experience and skills to fulfill the extensive role that Wes Welker provided for Cassel. In addition, former 2008 first-rounder Brandon Albert has the talent to effectively protect his blindside. Cassel will also have the services of star running back Larry Johnson, who is one of the game's top receiving backs when healthy.
