QB Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
Starter Brady Quinn doesn’t have too tight of a grip on the starting quarterback job in Cleveland. If he doesn’t start playing better, Derek Anderson will get the job. And as we saw a couple of seasons ago, Anderson is definitely capable of being a fantasy beast.
WR Johnny Knox, …read more

Quinn will likely have a learning …read more

QB Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
