Chad Pennington, Torn Shoulder, Out For Season.


The Miami Dolphins have had a very disappointing start to the ‘09-‘10 season.   Not only are they 0-3, they just lost Chad Pennington for the year.  If you owned Pennington, look to pick someone up off of waivers, and don’t rely on Pennington’s replacement, Chad Henne.  Henne is a second year quarterback out of Michigan.  He is a very talented quarterback, but with the Dolphins facing the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, he is a very risky player to start for week 4.  The Buffalo Bills showed us against the Saints that they could shut down the pass.  Drew Brees the Saints’ QB is arguably the most productive fantasy QB this season. Brees was virtually shut down, only passing for 172 yards and no touchdowns.  Look for the Dolphins to attack the Bills on the ground similar to what the Saints did week 3.  Ronnie Brown has been fairly productive this season out of the wildcat formation, and he could be the difference maker.  If you are looking for an emergency RB starter, see if Ricky Williams is a free agent, he could have a very productive day.  The Dolphins won’t put too much pressure on Henne, and will most likely come out pounding the ball on the ground Sunday.  Start Brown in all formats, and start Williams if needed. WR’s Teddy Ginn Jr. and Davone Bess could see their fantasy value drop after the injury of Pennington.  We aren’t saying Henne will be a non-factor, but it is a very hard league to succeed in right away, especially when you are facing a defense who is coming off a week where they down the most productive QB in the league.  You can’t trust Henne in any fantasy format.
