Wide Receiver Rank: #18
Overall: #68
Edwards did a poor job of following his breakout '07 season. He was plagued by drops throughout last season. Edwards finished with fewer than 1,000 yard and scored just three touchdowns. Inconsistent play at quarterback didn't help matters for Edwards, though. The entire Browns offense was a mess. Edwards remains the top target in the passing game and will have a lot to prove this coming season. He has a ton of talent. Edwards is a big target with good speed and top playmaking ability. He is a top big-play threat and better than average red-zone.

Edwards was a big-time flop last season, but if the Browns can show some consistency offensively, Edwards can rebound. Consider him a low-end No. 1 or top No. 2 receiver with upside. He is capable of double-digit scores and well over 1,000-receiving yards. We think he'll rebound after a dismal season, making him a good buy-low candidate in the fifth or sixth round of your draft. |

| Mark Cannizzaro, of the New York Post, reports the NFL is monitoring the misdemeanor assault case of New York Jets WR Braylon Edwards, according to an NFL spokesperson, though there doesn't appear to be any chance of him being suspended this season - if at all. 'Under the PC (player conduct) policy, when a player like Braylon, with no prior history of conduct issues, has been charged, we wait for a court resolution. Then we would review the facts for any possible discipline,' the spokesperson said. |
| Fantasy Impact: Good news for Edwards owners. Looks like he avoids suspension this time. |

Ryan noted Edwards should be able to also open things up for the team's other skill position players, and Edwards will be able to be part of the team rather than asked to carry the offense. |
