Browns QB Brady Quinn Done For The Year

The Cleveland Browns will place QB Brady Quinn on IR with a broken right index finger.

This is horrible news for the Browns as they really could have used the rest of the season to evaluate what exactly they have in Brady Quinn. If anything, it seemed obvious to me that the team responded to him better as soon as he took the field. You need to throw out last weekend's game as Quinn was obviously playing hurt.

Fantasy Impact: Drop Quinn, and Derek Anderson becomes a very low level QB2. Anderson managed to suck it up despite solid talent around him in the first half of the season, and his schedule down the stretch (IND, TEN, PHI the next 3 weeks) is horrible. I'd stay away, and I'd rather have someone like Collins who is far less likely to implode should your QB1 go down.

This is bad news for Winslow and Edwards as Quinn used Winslow immediately, and he was starting to use Edwards more too. Expect them to both be more inconsistent.
