i'd go with johnson jus edging out pennington. both squads arent gonna do all that much scoring--though the go-against defense of ATL is much easier to swallow than NYJ or NE. granted, it surely depends on how your scoring goes--that usually a losing team has a big yardage gainer in needing to try and come from behind to win, which then translates into passing yardage.
i had hambrick in my league and only started him once all year--and it wasnt this wk-ago when he trounced WASH. i think george is gonna get run heavy and often (whether that translates into a good game or not-remains to be seen) to try and keep game balanced, defense off of banged tenn QB mcnair or gesser, though i like henry, who in my opinion, at this stage in careers is better, and clearly more capable of putting up better numbers--even against the stingiest (at least on paper) nfl defense of miami.
i'm unsure what the recent injuries have been--though i kept an eye on bruce, whom i've heard is battling some ailment--maybe ankle?, though is tenatively slated to play. barring known injuries i'd play jackson first, over chambers second and bruce last. as it is--holt is clealry #1 man in stl--and for good reason. for whatever reason--k robinson hasnt yet acchieved holt's lofty status as the go to guy in sea--as it appears jackson making all the fantasy headlines as far as sea passing game is concerned (which could possibly be because teams focusing more on robinson and forced to go to jackson). as far as miami and chambers goes--he could have a great game--as is , THE GUY in mia, but i personally like my chances of a higher scoring affair from sea off vs chambers in an questionable off vs a very decent buff defense.
as far as defense goes---miami for some--as it seems obvious reasons--- would make sense, like you mentioned, snow and versus the likes of easily rattled yet competitive throughout bledsoe and company--though i could make a case for a KC def that looked downright porous allowing portis to run roughshod--as i think KC will have a better chance of having more oppurtunity to post bigger numbers (ie. possibly score a td off an int/fum) also to think that KC sp teams is clearly head and shoulders above miami if in fact your league goes that way (sp teams included in def stats). as i t is--i had the KC D this year--and i jus think that KC's off has a good chance of gettin on minny early and often, specially on the turf with the great atheletes they have, thusly forcing an already pressing minn off to try and make some plays, which in turn, i believe, allows for the KC def to make some plays of their own against sometimes erratic play of culpepper when back is against the wall. that though, is just my humble opinion. GL in whatever you end up doin.

Thanks for the replies, fellas.

Heading down to the coast this afternoon and have put my team in.

I'm going with Brad Johnson - I'm matched up against McCardell and will go ahead and take the wash if he does score.

Holmes and George at RB. Hopefully Neil O'donnel is not to old to pivot and hand the ball off.

Moss, Jackson, and Chambers. - Chambers listed as probable (ribs) - This has been eating at me with Bruce nursing a high ankle sprain. I think Martz limits Ike's routes this weekend.

tball - I brought what you had posted about the KC defense last night with a buddy. He agreed with you. That being said - I'm going with Miami. (Defense does not get points for Special Teams in my league)

Miami - Defense Gave up 3 points to New England on the road in cold weather and should be able to do the same against Buffalo.

Got to Go but thanks for the help and replies.
