Headlines

Anderson recovered from concussion: Browns WR Braylon Edwards (heel) returned to practice Monday along with Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson, who has recovered from a concussion suffered on Aug. 18 against the New York Giants. Anderson was back on the practice field Wednesday for a full session. Anderson said he has felt OK "for a week now" and is excited about getting the season started. A year ago at this time, he was a backup to Charlie Frye heading into the '07 season opener against Pittsburgh. On Wednesday, he was selected as one of six captains in a vote by Browns players. "It's a great honor," Anderson said. "I try to make sure I'm a positive leader, a positive presence for all these guys. It's just special."

Fantasy Analysis

The Browns are banking on the Anderson-to-Edwards connection being special again. For Cleveland, that hookup means as much as Tony Romo-to-Owens does to the Cowboys. Edwards said he and Anderson had no trouble shaking off the rust during their first practice despite not being on the field together for weeks. "It's not a concern," Edwards said. "D.A. and I have been playing together for a while now. We got a chance to get into a rhythm early on this year. He and I are in somewhat of a rhythm and coming back out there we felt good when we ran our routes. I don't think it will be too bad. We have some days to get ready, we'll be all right." The Browns have the honor of playing the Cowboys in Week 1 and it could be a real shootout between both teams. Make sure to have Anderson active as a No. 1 Fantasy QB.
