He's seemingly got no competition for the job, has the potential of a healthy Braylon Edwards (at some point), Kellen Winslow and free agent Joe Jurevicius, and the team bolstered the offensive line.

While I don't think anyone should be touting Frye as a "must have sleeper" he could easily be one of the guys who, each and every year, comes out of nowhere and turns into a respectable fantasy option.

Let's hear your thoughts...

I expect the Browns to continue to play from behind next season, despite some significant FA signings on the defensive side of the ball. They allowed more rush yds per game than any team last season, so even if they improve from 32nd to 20th, teams will still be moving the ball pretty well against them, so the offense will still be playing catch-up.

I see the Browns throwing the ball 54% of the time and having aproximately 480 passing plays. Certainly the return of Winslow helps, but last years OL was 26th in attempts/sack, leaving Frye on his back and under pressure more than one would like. I will be keeping my eye on the OL in the pre-season to see how much PT they get together and how they perform. Edwards is making the projections a little tough now, but if he comes back early November, I see (on average) Frye coming up with 265/480-2665-16-18.

These numbers are subject to improve (I think these will likely be the lowest projections for him, and they should improve as the pre-season progresses) if Edwards returns in mid-October, Winslow look phenomenal, or the OL protects well and get signficant PT in August.
