Fishy Business

THE MIAMI offense has been fun to watch this year. Ronnie Brown taking snaps! Chad Pennington at wideout! Patrick Cobbs (who?) with 138 yards and two TDs! After Sunday's game you might be tempted to pick up Cobbs, or Pennington. Don't. The Dolphins are using unpredictable game plans to cover for their skill-player deficiencies; this may be good for Miami's offense, but it is bad for fantasy owners in search of consistent production. Don't be among those taken in by the Dolphins' deception.

Market Watch: Who's Up, Who's Down

DOMINIC RHODES
Colts, RB
Back from a lost year in Oakland, Rhodes looked at home against a fierce Ravens run defense on Sunday. He rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown after Joseph Addai left with a hamstring injury in the first quarter. Since Addai will be less than 100% this week against the Packers, one of the easier teams to run on, Rhodes is a good short-term pickup.

GUS FREROTTE
Vikings, QB
In four starts since taking over for Tarvaris Jackson, the 37-year-old journeyman has quietly averaged 247 yards passing (including 296 last week against Detroit), which places him in the NFL's top 10. He and wideout Bernard Berrian have connected for more than 100 yards and a TD in each of the last two games and will make it three this week against Chicago.

DONNIE AVERY
Rams, WR
The second-round pick broke into the receiver rotation in Week 3, and on Sunday against Washington he showed he belonged there, with four catches for 73 yards, including two clutch late-game grabs. Expect the rookie to build on this effort and get more chances in the coming weeks.

WILLIS MCGAHEE
Ravens, RB
You've been waiting for McGahee to once again play like the back who rushed for 1,000 yards in three of his four full seasons, but injuries and Baltimore's backfield-by-committee approach have resulted in weeks of disappointment. Gaining a mere 3.2 yards per carry, he's become virtually unusable; it's time to cut your losses and send McGahee to the waiver wire.

CHANSI STUCKEY
Jets, WR
He was a hot pickup after catching TDs in the first three weeks of the season, but since then Brett Favre has been looking more to Laveranues Coles, who has 16 catches, 166 yards and three TDs in the last two games. Stuckey has only two catches for 12 yards in that period—which means that once again he should be nothing more than a fantasy afterthought.

ANTHONY GONZALEZ
Colts, WR
Any hope for consistent production has been dimmed by the return to form of Marvin Harrison (83 yards, two TDs against Baltimore) and the presence of a healthy Dallas Clark at tight end. After 137 yards in Week 2, Gonzalez has had just seven catches for 73 yards in the three games since.
