FanHouse Ted Ginn

Every week, NFL FanHouse hits the lowlights from Sunday's action, looking at those players who did the most to move their head coaches that much closer to returning to the Bed and Breakfast business.

The Jets entered Week 8 allowing 20.4 yards per return. The Dolphins entered Week 8 gaining a hair over 22 yards per return. It seemed we were set for an unremarkable day of kickoffs.

And then Ted Ginn, Jr. happened.

All signs indicate that wide receiver Ted Ginn will see reduced playing time for the Dolphins on Sunday when Miami takes on the Jets. Ginn's starting spot has been in jeopardy recently because of a disappointing lack of production -- aside from an 11-catch, 108-yard performance in Week 2 at Indianapolis, Ginn has just seven catches for 103 yards and a touchdown in Miami's five other games.

Despite his pending demotion, though, Ginn claimed that the team hasn't talked with him about marginalizing his role. Instead, according to Ginn, the coaches gave him a pep talk.

"It was more of a motivation talk," Ginn told the Miami Herald. "Get better. You have to get better. Do what you do but get better.''

Cut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's weekday roundup of the NFL news with fantasy football impact.

The season-ending injury to Jets running back Leon Washington is devastating for a number of reasons.

His change-of-pace running style will be sorely missed as will his 4.6 yards-per-carry average. The kick return team will also struggle to find a replacement. In fact, coach Rex Ryan says it will take many players to fill in for Washington.

Many of you might have been surprised to see the Giants' Steve Smith and the Jaguars' Mike Sims-Walker (or MSW, for short) among the top dozen options for Week 4. No-names as No. 1 WRs? Well, those surprised people obviously haven't been keeping up with the action.

After another huge performance by Smith (11 catches, 134 yards, 2 TDs), he now sits atop the pack as the best WR through four weeks. MSW is seventh on the list, and that's not accounting for his zero in Week 1. Take the three-game average, and MSW (along with Smith and Reggie Wayne) is one of the three best WRs in football. How will the pair of overachievers rank this week?

Everyone loves fantasy football sleepers, but they change depending on league size and availability. We're here each and every week to give you a look at good plays for all types of leagues.

Last week's column might have been a mixed bag, but when we hit, we did really well. Tashard Choice looks like he's capable of being a feature back in this league, LeSean McCoy did a great job as your flex in Week 3, and the Denver defense was dominant once again. Ricky Williams received only eight carries, but turned them into 55 yards and a TD. Can we find you some more sleepers for your fantasy football team this week? Of course!

After Monday night's 27-23 Colts win over the Dolphins, Chad Pennington had this to say: "It's not about statistics, it's about scoring points and winning football games." He was referring to the now-infamous advantage in time of possession the Dolphins wildcat'd together, and how the game proved to be the exception to the rule that typically links time of possession with victory.

He could have just as easily been talking about his "No. 1 receiver," Ted Ginn Jr.

The Colts beat the Dolphins 27-23 in a thrilling Monday Night Football game featuring a late touchdown by Pierre Garcon and the failure to score a late touchdown by the Dolphins' offense, and that's where we start our latest NFL Twitter mailbag on Tuesday morning.

We also get into the controversy of Terrell Owens tweeting about Tony Romo and more in our latest NFL Twitter mailbag, which starts below.

I'm going to try. I really am. Every year, some unknown wide receiver leaps from obscurity to being the waiver-wire darling of the fantasy football season. In a minute, I'm going to attempt to rank so many receivers that he won't slip through the cracks. Inevitably, he will slip through the cracks. So just for fun, after the rankings and after the commentary, I'll throw a few names against the wall. After the weekend, we'll see if any stuck.

Having trouble filling out your lineup in Week 1? Can't decide on a WR3 or a flex option? Well, here are some down-and-dirty rankings for your perusal. Use them as a guide, and if all goes well, you'll be 1-0 in a few
days' time.

1. Calvin Johnson, DET at NO
2. Randy Moss, NE vs BUF
3. Andre Johnson, HOU vs NYJ
4. Marques Colston, NO vs DET
5. Larry Fitzgerald, ARI vs SF

So, you want to try your hand at building a dynasty? Who doesn't? Being able to keep the fantasy football players that you draft from year to year seems like a novel idea. You just need to be aware of a few things.

Building a fantasy football team in a Dynasty League is very similar to a regular league. You're going to try to put together the best group of guys to help you win a championship. The main extra ingredient to keep in mind is that you'd like your team to be as young as possible and still have a shot to win. That being said, you're not going to forego all older players. If Peyton Manning is on the board and he's the best available player, you should consider it. The decision making process kicks in when you're trying to decide between two similar players. You're most likely going to take youth over experience in that situation.

With Fantasy Football season ready to kick in high gear, FanHouse is here to preview each and every team -- one per day until we've done them all.

Meet The ...
Team who invented the Wildcat formation! Cue all sorts of zeal from the dramatic broadcasters. Of course, the formation has actually been around for decades, we just hadn't seen a ton of usage in the NFL until the Dolphins seemed to perfect it -- peaking with Ronnie Brown's ridiculous game against the Patriots.

The Dolphins have a careful quarterback, two solid runners, a good, young receiving corps, and have added a great all-around athlete via draft. It might be tough to predict who is going to consistency amass yardage, but we know one thing: They are going to be fun to watch.
