Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer says the Browns could be interested in Bills CB Ashton Youboty.

Youboty has played in 14 games in two pro seasons, but a high ankle sprain took him off the field more than he would have been last season if he were healthy. With the injury to starter Daven Holly, the Browns are scrambling for a corner who can play at a starter's level, and Youboty played for Browns defensive coordinator Mel Tucker at Ohio State. Savage told Pluto: "There is another Daven Holly out there, a guy another team has given up on him and can help us. We just have to find him."

Commentary: Given Browns GM Phil Savage's penchant for trades, this is a decent possibility. Youboty has found himself out of place in Buffalo, which selected the former Ohio State star in the third round of the 2006 draft.

Fantasy Impact: Youboty has barely played, and while a change of scenery could do him well, the Browns still would have one of the shakiest secondaries in the league. This move wouldn't seriously improve their fantasy standing.
