Winslow has a sprained shoulder and is considered questionable for Sunday's game. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Coach Romeo Crennel says that if Winslow can raise his arms over his head without limitation, he'll play. |
| Analysis: |
This looks like a decision that will probably go into the weekend, unless Winslow shows definitively before then that he's healthy enough. He's worth waiting on, if you can, because of the excellent matchup with the weak Houston pass defense. (SportsBuff.com) |

Brown hasn't managed 4 yards per carry in a game since Week 5, but he has found the end zone in four of the past six games. His owners should probably keep him in the lineup most weeks. Just beware that he could offer little if he doesn't happen to find the goal line. (SportsBuff.com) |

It'd be nice to chalk the lack of action up as an aberration, but we'll have to see what kind of connection Quinn and Edwards have and/or can develop. The return to health of Donte' Stallworth and Quinn's apparent comfort with Kellen Winslow II probably won't help Edwards' numbers. (SportsBuff.com) |

Lewis carried 19 times for just 60 yards and a touchdown in the Thursday night loss to the Broncos. |
| Analysis: |
The fact that he didn't manage more yards against one of the league's weakest run defenses could be indicative of Lewis' lack of fantasy potential and the team's unimpressive use of him. Cleveland ran a disturbing number of plays to the outside, when staying between the tackles would have taken better advantage of Lewis' attributes and attacked the Broncos' vulnerability. Lewis is a marginal fantasy starter the rest of the way. (SportsBuff.com) |

Although the Browns lost, it was tough to find anything to dislike about Quinn's performance. By the time Week 11 games start, he'll likely be owned in nearly all fantasy leagues. Don't get overaggressive in starting him, though, as Denver carries one of the league's worst defenses, especially with several key starters injured. (SportsBuff.com) |
