Charlie Frye, QB, Browns (owned in 13.9 percent of ESPN leagues): Trying to find a decent fantasy backup quarterback isn't an easy thing these days, especially in larger leagues. Frye is strictly a pickup for depth, but he can certainly give you decent fantasy numbers when the matchup is right. He now has Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow Jr. and Joe Jurevicius to throw to. Frye threw three TD passes against Oakland and he's a good add if you've been suffering with Daunte Culpepper or Ben Roethlisberger to this point, and need another option. Frye has more experience than Matt Leinart or Vince Young, and you should simply have him in case your starter gets injured or you need a bye week fill-in and there isn't much else out there. Home dates against the Broncos and Jets in the seventh and eighth week of the season could produce adequate totals if his running game holds up. He threw for 298 yards at home against Baltimore, so don't dismiss him. I'd rather have Frye than a rookie QB or an unproven risk like Andrew Walter.
