4) George Wrighster, TE, Jaguars Did you see the chemistry brewing between David Garrard and Wrighster in the Week 11 Monday-night win over the Giants? Jacksonville faces some strong fronts in December ( Dolphins, Colts, Patriots), and Garrard will be looking for his tight end.

Mare is averaging 2.4 field goal attempts a game, and Miami will be a field goal team in December; I don't see Joey Harrington finishing off that many drives.

Ronnie Brown is out for at least a week, so Morris (12 carries, 91 yards against the Lions) becomes the man.

Bobby Wade
