The Facts:
Unwilling to declare what seems obvious, HC Leslie Frazier said it would be "premature" to assume Matt Cassel had unseated Ponder as the franchise's No. 1 quarterback with his 248-yard, two-touchdown, zero interception, 123.4-QB rating in Sunday's win over the Steelers.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
"If you're asking, our quarterback is Christian Ponder," a visibly relieved Frazier told reporters immediately after the game. "Now we'll discuss a lot of things when we come out of the bye. We're going to enjoy this victory for a little while at least." As the Pioneer Press suggested, Cassel introduced himself as the poised, confident, playmaking quarterback the Vikings desperately need, and the high praise and knowing expressions teammates offered spoke volumes about who should start Minnesota's next game, Oct. 13 against the Carolina Panthers. We'll be watching to see how this one plays out over the off week.
