ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Brady Quinn will finally be inserted back into Cleveland's starting lineup, and the horrid Derek Anderson will take his place where he belongs, back on the Browns' bench.
After getting yanked just two and a half games into his first season as the full-time starter, Quinn is getting one more shot to prove to the franchise that drafted him that he's still worth keeping around.
There had been speculation early in the season that Eric Mangini had always been a Derek Anderson supporter, albeit silently, and secretly wanted Quinn to fail, although the front office wanted their former first rounder to get the first crack at the job.
In addition to this theory, there is also speculation that Quinn was benched more due to contractual incentives, rather than his performance.
Regardless of the reason of his original benching, Quinn is back in the lineup, and can't do much worse than Anderson has done over the last six games.
Fantasy Perspective: There isn't a fantasy perspective. Not if we're being honest with Cleveland fans. The only guy worth mentioning that Quinn could call a "weapon" is now a New York Jet, and Mohamed Massaquoi, a talented rookie receiver, drops too many passes to be relied upon.
It probably woudn't matter what Quinn's supporting cast looked like, however, as his match-up against the Baltimore Ravens is already a brutal enough "welcome back."
