QUARTERBACKS — CUT THEM LOOSE

Trent Edwards (Buffalo Bills)

How many chances can a guy have to produce at a high enough level to be fantasy football worthy? Each week Trent Edwards has the match-up to post solid statistics yet it never seems to happen. Outside of his 35 combined fantasy points over the first two weeks, Edwards has put together three consecutive single digit scoring games despite having favorable match-ups against the New Orleans Saints (5 points), Miami Dolphins (5 points) and Cleveland Browns (8 points).

The icing on the cake for him making the Fantasy Football Week 6 Waiver Wire list came this week when the signal caller completed just 16 of 31 passes for 152 yards and an interception. Known as captain check down, Edwards completed just three passes over 10 yards and his 4.8 yards per completion average isn’t going to cut it as a quarterback in the NFL. The signal caller out of Stanford has six turnovers to one touchdown pass over the Bills last three games and with match-ups against the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers you are going to want to cut bait with Edwards. Our recommendation to you would be to find a quarterback that can actually attack opposing defenses down field.

Derek Anderson (Cleveland Browns)

It didn’t take long for Derek Anderson to make our Cut Them Loose list. We though only JaMarcus Russell could quarterback an entire football game and complete less than five passes but the Browns quarterback did just that on Sunday. Facing a Buffalo Bills defense that allows over 225 passing yards per game, it looked like Anderson was in line for his second straight 15+ fantasy point game but the veteran could muster just 23 passing yards on 2 of 17 passing. The crazy part about his day is that the Browns kicked a late field goal to beat the Bills by a score of 6-3.

With head coach Eric Mangini not wasting anytime to find an adequate QB don’t be surprised if Anderson is a bad game or two from being back on the bench. His -2 fantasy points was tied for 34th at the QB position in Week 5 and Anderson has far from a favorable schedule moving forward. Over the next three weeks the Browns must travel to Pittsburgh and Chicago to take on the Steelers and Bears while playing host to the Green Bay Packers. None of these games are desirable for his fantasy owners so why waste a roster spot on dead weight? Instead add depth elsewhere or snag a waiver wire QB with a good match-up during your regular QBs bye.
