Fantasy Player Projections
Invesco Field | Sunday, September 20 | 4:15 p.m. EST (CBS)
Pick: Broncos 14, Browns 10
Pos. Player Projection QB Brady Quinn 160 pass yards, 1 INT
Quinn's numbers might look nicer if a long touchdown pass to Braylon Edwards hadn't been reversed, but he's still a mediocre fantasy quarterback option at best.RB Jamal Lewis 105 rush yards, 1 rush TD
Coming off a difficult afternoon against one of the best rushing defenses ih the business, expect Lewis to rebound strong.WR Braylon Edwards 4 rec, 60 yards
Many hoped Edwards would bounce bock nicely following a ho-hum 2008 season. The porous Denver defense gives him a perfect opportunity to break out.WR Mike Furrey 4 rec, 50 yards
It's just not worth investing in Browns wide receivers until Quinn shows he's got the stuff to move the offense with any regularity.WR Joshua Cribbs 2 rec, 15 yards
Primarily a return specialist, Cribbs' role in the Cleveland offense is fleeting at best. TE Robert Royal 3 rec, 35 yards
The heir apparent to Kellen Winslow is becoming one of Quinn's favorite targets.K Phil Dawson 1 PAT, 1 FG
Cleveland's iffy offense doesn't give Dawson the opportunities he needs to log significant points.Defense 2 sacks, 1 INT
Four sacks and a touchdown last week against the Vikings. But they otherwise resembled a sieve. There's no reason they should be your starting defense.
Pos. Player Projection QB Kyle Orton 165 pass yards, 1 pass TD, 1 INT
Orton, who played poorly in Week 1, is a sleeper for Week 2 due to a favorable matchip against the Browns.RB Knowshon Moreno 75 rush yards, 1 rush TD
The rookie scatback hopes to rebound from an abysmal debut and he should.RB Correll Buckhalter 70 rush yards
He'll get limited reps but is certainly capable of breaking a big play, as you saw throughout his time in Phillly.WR Eddie Royal 5 rec, 70 yards
The Broncos' de factor WR1 should continue to thrive in Week 2. WR Brandon Marshall 5 rec, 70 yards, 1 TD
Look for the troubled wide receiver to get on the scoreboard in Week 2. He's just too good to fade into obscurity.WR Brandon Stokley 1 rec, 10 yards
His miracle game-winning touchdown in Week 1 aside, Stokely isn't worth a roster spot much less an acutal start.TE Tony Scheffler 4 rec, 15 yards
The Broncos' tight end is a lower-tier option at tight end. Stay clear of him.K Matt Prater 2 PATs
He nailed field goals of 48 and 50 yards, but might not be worth a roster spot with Denver's offense a shell of its old self.Defense 2 sacks, 1 INT
They're just not worth it. Yes, they only surrendered seven points, but stay away.
