Housh loses Palmer for Week 6: Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh is normally an attractive Fantasy option, but a big part of that is because Carson Palmer is throwing him the ball. The official team web site reports that Palmer will not start Week 6 at the Jets with a right elbow injury, making Ryan Fitzpatrick the starting quarterback for the club on Sunday, his second start of the year. Houshmandzadeh caught six passes for 50 yards at home against a woeful Browns secondary in Fitzpatrick's first start.

Fantasy Analysis

This is awful news for Houshmandzadeh, whose play had perked up in the last two games he played with Palmer. Fitzpatrick isn't a very good quarterback, and his lack of ability will leak into Houshmandzadeh's stat line. Dial down the expectations for Houshmandzadeh and figure him to play like a low-end No. 2 Fantasy WR.
(Updated 10/10/2008).

WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh has a team-high 31 catches, even as the rest of the offense struggles, and he added two more touchdown receptions Sunday at Dallas. 10/07/2008
