Bengals inactives: QB Carson Palmer (3rd), K Shayne Graham, SS Dexter Jackson, LB Corey Mays, WR Andre Caldwell, WR Jerome Simpson, DT John Thornton, DT Jason Shirley.

Analysis: With Palmer out, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick will start and Jordan Palmer will be the backup. Dave Rayner will handle with kicking duties with Graham out.

How will Fitz do today? Any homers that can assess how Fitz might do in junk time?! Will he be able to move the ball and make the other offensive players somewhat productive?

It is hard to imagine he could do worse than he did against the Browns, but if Henry is at all ready to play, and with TJ showing signs of life, he could surprise.If they can make the Jets respect the run at least a little bit, Fitzpatrick will do more damage scrambling than he will with his arm.If not, and the Bengals are forced in passing nearly every down, to borrow a phrase from one of the Bengals analysts after the Cleveland game, they "will go down like the wreck of the Edmund Fitzpatrick".
