Trent Edwards ready to go; Terrell Owens slowed by strained hip

Buffalo Bills quarterback Trent Edwards has been officially informed that he will return to duty as the team's starter in week 10 at Tennessee. Meanwhile, Terrell Owens hasn't played like a No. 1 receiver this season, but his presence would be critical for Edwards and right now, his availability against the Titans is uncertain. Owens missed practice Wednesday because of a strained hip. Head coach Dick Jauron said in a conference call that the injury became apparent late Tuesday. Jauron said Owens was very uncomfortable. Edwards will return to the starting lineup after resting for three weeks -- two games -- due to a concussion suffered in week six versus the New York Jets.

Fantasy Analysis:
Even when fully healthy, both of these players are risky starts. The Titans' pass defense is still bad statistically, but it has looked much better in the past couple of weeks in bothering David Garrard and Alex Smith. Those aren't very good quarterbacks, but it's not like Edwards is the second coming of Drew Brees. Plus, you have to consider that he may be rusty after his long recovery period. Owens has had more than seven fantasy points in a game just twice this season. He was a top 15 receiver in the preseason, but you should have learned by now that he is no better than a No. 3 wideout in 12 or 14 team leagues.
