Fantasy fallout from today's Jets-Browns trade: With the addition of Braylon Edwards, the Jets' offense gets significantly better. And with the loss of Edwards, the Browns' offense gets considerably worse -- and that's wild considering they were already pretty bad.

Edwards should be a very good receiver for the Jets in time. Not right away. Remember how Roy Williams went from Detroit to Dallas last season and didn't do much (he still hasn't done much)? Edwards will be in that same sort of situation for the next few weeks. But if he truly has the motivation to play well -- and he should since he's in a contract year -- then he should be an excellent addition for the Jets. He might rebound into a No. 2 Fantasy WR once he gets used to what offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is doing.

The other significant player impacted by this deal is Browns rookie Mohamed Massaquoi, fresh off of his breakout game in Week 4 against the Bengals. Massaquoi will get thechance to play a lot more now that Edwards is out of the picture. Good news? Should be, though it should be expected that defenses will key in on him and try to beat him up since he's pretty thin. Owners should expect him to be productive this week against a bad Bills secondary, but beyond that he would be surprising a lot of people if he regularly topped 100 yards. Remember, folks ... he's a rookie.

Check our player updates for others impacted by this deal, including Chansi Stuckey, Derek Anderson, Jerricho Cotchery, Dustin Keller and of course Mark Sanchez.
