Brady Quinn back at starting quarterback for Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns have made yet another quarterback change. Head coach Eric Mangini said Wednesday that quarterback Brady Quinn will start Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Quinn replaces Derek Anderson (who went 1-4 in his five starts and has a 36.2 passer rating, which is about 12 points lower than that of JaMarcus Russell). Quinn returns to the starting role after he went 0-3 at the beginning of the season. He was pulled at halftime of the 34-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 3. Mangini said he goes into the switch hoping that he doesn't have to make another change anytime soon.

Fantasy Analysis:
So there's a new boss behind center in Cleveland. Same as the old boss ... before he was replaced by an even more inadequate boss. Quinn is the better quarterback of the two, even though he has some sort of phobia when it comes to throwing a ball more than 15 yards down the field. But this is the kind of news in which there are no winners. Quinn's promotion doesn't change the fact that the Browns are still the worst team in fantasy football. Jamal Lewis is probably the only Browns player that you could even consider having on your team, and he's retiring at the end of this season. With just about every team through with their bye week, there is no reason you should want Quinn unless you are in a 16-team, two-quarterback league.
