Derek Anderson's Fantasy Football Rankings
Player Info:
Browns Offense Implodes in 2008
In 2007 Derek busted onto the scene with 32 touchdowns and 3,700 yards passing in the Cleveland Browns offense. With a stud number one target in Braylon Edwards, Anderson was a top quarterback in the NFL. Kellen Winslow also delivered on his expectations to be a top tight end in football with an appearance in the Pro Bowl. Everything was set for the Browns offense to shine for years to come.
Browns players were selected high across the fantasy football land scape in 2008. Fantasy owner drafted them in hopes of a repeat performance from the previous year. Cleveland Browns fans were expecting their high flying offense to lead them into the playoffs. But neither of those expectations were fulfilled as the Browns offense crashed and burned. By mid-season Derek Anderson was pulled for quarterback Brady Quinn and only received his job back because Quinn got injured. Then around the end of November Derek got a leg injury against the Colts and missed the rest of the year.
Derek Anderson's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
While I still feel Anderson is a capable quarterback if he has good protection, I don't see him starting for the Browns in 2009. Right now the Browns need a more "take charge" quarterback and Brady Quinn is that. But if Quinn should fail or get hurt again, look for Anderson to get the call. Again if Anderson gets the protection from his offensive line like in 2007 he could return to those lofty numbers of 2007. For now look to take Anderson as a hand cuff pick to Brady Quinn at the end of your draft.
Fantasy Assets:
- Good Offensive Line
- Solid #1 Receiver
- When he's on his game Derek is a Touchdown Maker
Fantasy Liability's
- Will Probably be a Backup to Start the Year
- Bad Weather in December
