CLEVELAND -- It appears Derek Anderson is back to his Pro Bowl ways. Boy, what a difference a season-changing win can make.

How do these numbers ring the morning after a 35-14 Browns win against the Super Bowl Giants?

Anderson finished 18 for 29 for 310 yards, two touchdowns and a two-point conversion pass. He also threw zero picks.

Let’s see how many people make the Cleveland quarterback a must-start for Week 7 against the Washington Redskins in Washington. My opinion, sell high on the guy. You might be able to fetch something, in case, Week 6 was a fluke.

After watching the game, Braylon Edwards is back to must-start status as well. If you benched him for last night’s game, ouch.

Edwards had five catches for a career-high 154 yards, one touchdown and a two-point conversion catch.

The Romo solution

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is out for, at least, three games with a broken pinkie. The team has a bye in Week 10. So, at best, Romo comes back in Week 11 for fantasy owners. In the meantime, I doubt, any owners handcuffed 40-year-old backup wonder Brad Johnson.

That makes Johnson a semi-desirable pickup for a few games.

The two-time pro-bowler takes control of one of the game’s best offenses. If you watched highlights from the Cowboys loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, running back Marion Barber took a pass for a 70-yard touchdown. With Barber's talent, Johnson will have a solid dump off target.

Rookie Felix Jones can do the same thing, too. But Felix is out for the next few weeks with a hamstring injury.

I don’t like Johnson’s long-term potential, but he will be throwing to Terrell Owens, Jason Whitten and Patrick Crayton.

Scoop Johnson up if you need a quarterback. Maybe a better strategy, though, is to pick him up and prevent another team from potentially cashing in on a quick fix. No. 3 quarterbacks on fantasy rosters sometimes are the best defense.

Tony Gonzalez gone?

The trade deadline for the NFL is today at 4 p.m. The rumors have the future hall of famer and Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez heading somewhere. Where? Philadelphia, Buffalo or the New York Giants are destinations reported by the Associated Press.

Let’s break down what it means.

If it’s Philly, L.J. Smith is out of the picture. With Donovan McNabb tossing balls his way, Gonzalez would be a top-notch option and retain his must-start No. 1 status.

Face it: Tyler Thigpen and Damon Huard are not going to help his fantasy stock in Kansas City.

With those guys, Gonzalez could earn or has earned a spot on the bench if you have, say, the Miami Dolphins Anthony Fasano as a backup.

At least, McNabb would give owners some confidence in starting the nine-time pro-bowler each week.

If it’s Buffalo or New York, Trent Edwards and Eli Manning, though not last night’s version of lil’ Peyton, would seem like logical pitch-and-catch mates for the tight end.

But, hey, it’s the NFL. Do teams other than the Browns make trades?

Catch them if you can...

Dominic Rhodes, Colts: Running back Joseph Addai, a first-round bust for many, hurt his hamstring on Sunday. Chances are Rhodes is already gone.

Jets defense: They have produced two straight stellar weeks. They had five sacks, a fumble recovery, but no picks against Cincinnati on Sunday. The week before against the Cardinals: five sacks, five fumble recoveries, three interceptions and a touchdown. The reasons they may keep paying off as a bye-week replacement or starting defense: The J-E-T-S play against Oakland this Sunday and have Kansas City the following week.
