As much as I hate to say this, I'd avoid Horn until he shows he can do something on the field again. So, what does that amount to? Having him on your bench when he finally breaks out with a big game and putting him back in your lineup the following week when he in all likelihood has a sore hammy again and does nothing...  ... I would go with Bryant over Chatman by a hair. Many are saying that now that Edwards is back, he'll be the go-to guy. All I know is that Bryant was consistently putting up his best numbers ever playing opposite Edwards. And, this week they have a better matchup than the Packers. On the other hand, the QB situation in Cleveland is a concern, BUT, this is Houston they are playing and I believe if Frye gets in the game, it'll be SHOW-time!!! This is really a "six of one, half-dozen of the other" situation... Good luck!

Steg is right on. I too have Horn and I am following Steg's plan. It is very frustrating to have a star player with a nagging injury.
Bryant should get more looks. Dilfer has not done well recently, but I think that playing Houston will help. Just look at what Losman did against the Texans.
I vote for Bryant.

Well, I three have Horn, but I am actually putting him in this week.
He's been off for a while now, and they are playing against a suspect pass D in Miami. He's been practicing all week, just so he can make Miami look like the crappy team that they really are.
Yea, he admits he came back too soon last time. He's not going to make that mistake again. J. Horn is better at 80% than the rest of the team "aints" at 100%.
Horn will start, and he will get a TD.
Your heard it here first, I "GUARANTEE"

Saints: Horn still practicing
The News
Saints wideout Joe Horn practiced for a third straight day on Friday and ESPN's John Clayton is reporting he will return to the field Sunday against the Dolphins. He has missed most of the last four games with a hamstring injury he suffered in week three.
Our View
Fantasy owners should still be careful with Horn because he hasn't made it through a game since week two. If you have a reasonable alternative on your roster, it would be safe to go that route this week. Of course, in fantasy football you don't always have to go the safe route.
Thats me baby, Ranger Danger!!!
Horn don't let me down now

I am starting to toy with the idea of putting Horn in the game. It is really tempting to see what Horn can do this week. Three consecutive days of practice looks very good to me.
I am leaning towards Horn over Bryant.

ESPN reports Plaxico Burress will start at wide receiver against the Redskins.
He's safe to use, although Washington should be his toughest matchup of the season. Oct. 30 - 11:21 am et
Put him in, watch him fly

Well, granted I really was High  when I made that "Guarantee"  ended up jinxing myself.
But, at least Horn was still a good start. Unfortunately for me, it was Priest Holmes that was the one that sent my team to its doom 
But, at least the Raiders won!!!

Horn was very solid, especially for his first game in a long time. At the last minute, I put Horn in the lineup. I also kept Bryant active. This turned out to give me some solid points at WR. I am really looking forward to starting Horn and Harrison next week. That is a very tough 1-2 combo.

I do not want to get caught in that again. 
Currently I have Burress, Jimmy Smith, and Moulds going. 6 points =TD 1 point=10 yds. Thanks guru's!! 
I was burned last time I started him when he was a GO
Any last thoughts about Burress from anyone?? 
....Joe looked good. Unfortunately I kept him on the bench, and benched Bryant at the last minute for Burress!(But who wouldn't have?) 
Jimmy Smith and Burress both killed me yesterday! Oh Well!!!
