JESSE CHATMAN in Week 17 (1 Viewer)

[Topes]

The Dolphins will host the Bengals this week.

Jesse Chatman will likely get the start.

Many think this could be a close game, but the Bengals are still capable of putting on a show, especially against the Dolphins. So that's not a slam dunk.

Lorenzo Booker and Samkon Gado are in the mix.

Chatman will be a UFA after the season, and Ronnie Brown will be back next year.

Do the Dolphins give Chatman a lot of carries, provided they are int he game still?

Do they elect to see what they have in Booker instead?

Anybody have any good insight? Linkage to others' insight?

I'm seeing a lot of projections that are splitting the Miami carries between Chatman and Booker to some extent, e.g. 60/40 or 70/30. Chatman should get more than Booker, but to what extent appears to be a bit up in the air. I'm leaving Chatman on my bench and going with some of the guys on other teams that are more likely to carry the full load.

Plus, Chatman's ankle could tweak at any time during the game. His injury risk is still worth considering. That might be why some have projected him a little lower this week as well.

1. Jesse Chatman is likely to play in the team's one-game audtion to impress Bill Parcells. Whether Cam Cameron plays to double his 2007 wins total is as important. Chatman is a 28-uear-old journeyman. Lorezo Booker is a 3rd round draft pick. Who would you want to see play if you were Bill Parcells?

No real news, but that's the sentiment I'm worried about in a nutshell.
