DOLPHINS (5-5-0)		BUCCANEERS (1-9-0)
Chad Henne QB When you have just four touchdown passes in six games, you're probably not gonna be on most owners' rosters. I can't blame you. I won't be telling you to put him on your roster, either.   Projections Cmp/Att PaYd PaTd Int RuYd RuTd FP 14/23 173 1 1 -1 0 14.4		Josh Freeman QB THe rookie won his first start in dramatic fashion last week against a solid Packers team. Can he do it again in Miami? Regardless of whether or not he can, I won't be playing him yet.   Projections Cmp/Att PaYd PaTd Int RuYd RuTd FP 15/25 194 1 1 8 0 15.0
Ricky Williams RB He's been even more valuable than Brown in recent weeks, which means he has to be considered a strong start in most leagues this Sunday. He's a top-level RB2 and an even sexier Flex play if you're fortunate enough.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 11 65 1 1 12 0 12.0		Carnell Williams RB Cadillac's the No. 1 back on the team still, but he certainly hasn't done all that much lately, running for just 90 yards over the last two games. In fact, he actually hasn't had a 100-yard game all season long. I don't think I could confidently start him.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 15 57 0 1 6 0 8.3
RB No player in this position.		Derrick Ward RB The 54 receiving yards and a score last week makes me feel a little better about him. The 83 total yards he had in Week 1 are still the most he's accounted for this year, though. That means he still needs to prove some things to me before I plug him in my roster.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 10 36 0 1 12 0 6.4
Brian Hartline WR With Ted Ginn, Jr. forced down the depth chart lately, Hartline's been getting more opportunities to play, and he's taken advantage of those chances. He's obviously not a fantasy starter yet, but I like what he's able to do.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 1 26 0       3.8		Maurice Stovall WR The former Golden Dome star has only had seven catches for 139 yards this season, although 46 of those came last week against Green Bay. Doesn't matter to me, of course, since he's unstartable either way.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 2 28 0       4.0
Greg Camarillo WR I've always liked Camarillo, but this hasn't been a terrific year for him, as the Miami offense hasn't been getting to the second and third receivers on the team all that much. I'd leave him alone.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 3 38 0       5.6		Antonio Bryant WR When will Bryant hit the stride he was on last season? He had such a great season, a lot of us are waiting for it to happen again. However, it hasn't happened yet. Don't take a chance until he proves he can do it.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 2 36 0       5.1
Davone Bess WR He has big play ability, but he certainly hasn't produced to the level fantasy owners would've liked. I wouldn't even think about starting him myself, and I wouldn't recommend him to you, either.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 5 52 0       7.9		Sammie Stroughter WR The rookie had his first career touchdown reception last week, making all of us wonder whether he's Freeman's new go-to guy. He's now had three catches in four straight games and could be a threat the rest of the way. It's a risk, of course, but he could be a Flex play in deep leagues if you're a gambler.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 3 38 0       5.1
Joey Haynos TE Miami tight ends aren't anybody's favorite fantasy options, but Haynos scored last week, so at least he has some bite to him. Unfortunately, it's not enough for anyone to even consider starting him.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 2 24 0       3.4		Kellen Winslow TE By far and away the team's most startable fantasy player, Winslow continues to put up numbers each week. His 57 yards and a score last week gives him five touchdowns on the season. The way he's going, he needs to be played each week.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 5 58 0       7.7
Dan Carpenter K I've been impressed by what Carpenter's been able to do to this point. He's 11-for-12 on field goals in the last seven games, making him a valuable commodity all of a sudden. He should be started this week at home against the Bucs.   Projections XPM/XPA 0-29 30-39 40-49 50+ FP 3/3 1 1 1 0   9.0		Connor Barth K I have nothing against the Bucs kicker, but at the end of the day, he's still the Bucs kicker and he needs to be on he bench until they prove they can score a little more consistently.   Projections XPM/XPA 0-29 30-39 40-49 50+ FP 2/2 0 1 0 0   5.8
Dolphins D/ST I know the Buccaneers put up some big points with Josh Freeman as their starter last week, but the Miami defense is a lot better than Green Bay's. This is a unit that should be able to take advantage of the rookie and force him into some turnovers.   Projections PA Yds Allowed Sack Int FumR Td FP 18 307 2 1 0 0 6.1		Buccaneers D/ST They keep giving up points in bunches, even when they happen to win. A couple interceptions were nice last Sunday, but this is a unit you have to leave on the sidelines.   Projections PA Yds Allowed Sack Int FumR Td FP 27 355 2 1 0 0 3.8
