How good is Denver's defensive DBs? (1 Viewer)

[wonderdork]

I don't know much on Denver's backfield, so help me out Denver homers. We can't account really for Braylons drops or what Quinn will do in his first start this year, but will Edwards in theory have a decent matchup against his DB? Is Champ Baily still a stud or is he slowing down?

Champ Bailey is injured and won't play.

Champ Bailey hurt...out. Dre Bly is ok. Karl Paymah was beat over and over by Camarillo last weekend. The safeties are probably the worst in the league.

First of all, Denver's defensive DBs are better than their offensive DBs

Seriously, if you have a Brown receiver, this is the best opportunity to play them all season.

1. Denver has been bad against the pass all season, and that was with Champ Bailey healthy. He's out tonight.

2. Cleveland figures to do everything they can to inflate Quinn's numbers in his first start.

3. Denver's offense should be good enough to keep the Browns trying.

I am nervous only about the Browns being conservative with Quinn, in which case I am wrong on #2 but still right on the others. Even if they are conservative, Quinn is an upgrade over Anderson (especially the Anderson since the last quarter of 2008).

Bottom line is I will start Edwards in one league and Winslow in another as I really like the matchup against the Denver secondary.

Not sure who Cleveland's WR2 is, but he likely has a shot at a very good game similar to Camarillo last week. I guess Edwards probably matches up better against Bly than did Ginn, so he could have a solid game I suppose. Still, if Cleveland wants to make things easy on Brady in his first start, their best bet would be to exploit Paymah. Winslow also figures be be mixed in as well given Denver's depleted LB corps.

I expect the following numbers from Braylon tonight:

6 receptions for 113 yards and 1 TD (Book it!)
