Answer 3

I would pick Edwards because he is with a better team although Houston is up and coming. Johnson gets hurt a lot too but really there isn't that much a difference in the two. Anderson will prob have better numbers than Schaub.

Answer 4

I would draft Braylon Edwards over Andre Johnson if I had the choice.  Both are incredible receivers, however with Johnson comes the fear of more injuries that have plagued him in the past.  In 2005 he missed 3 games due to injury and then missed 7 more games last season because of a substantial knee injury.  He has also already been out in the preseason due to a groin injury.  Also, when comparing the 2, you also need to look at the QB situation.  Johnson has Matt Schaub as his QB, who also missed some time last season due to injury.  However, Houston's backup Sage Rosenfels seemed to have better chemsitry with Johnson last season than Schaub did.  Edwards has breakout star Derek Anderson and backup Brady Quinn throwing to him.  Edwards caught 80 catches for 1,289 yards and 16 touchdowns last season.  Although Jamal Lewis had a really good season last year, Cleveland showed that their main offensive attack comes through the air.  Houston is more of a pound the ball type offense, sometimes using 3 or 4 running backs to get the job done.  You also have to look at their opponents.  Cleveland is in a league with the Bengals and Ravens, where Houston has to take on the defenses of Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Tennessee.  Overall, Edwards is on a better team, with a better quarterback and should be a top five fantasy receiver this season.
