With Branch looking like he's going to sit again, I'd go with Patten. It's vs MIA, but it's at home.

AZ has a stiff run D. They still haven't allowed a rushing TD this year! NO couldn't manage 50 yards against them. Couple that with Barlow's ineptitude and you have to go with Henry. His matchup is mildly better. Maybe Mewelde is still on the waiver wire eh? ;D

Good Luck!

Miami has a tough pass defense and the Panthers have underperformed thus far this year. Smith will probably have the better day, but that is a tough call.

As for Barlow vs. Henry. The Arizona defense ranks 30th in average rushing yards allowed and the Jets rank 12th. That, coupled with Barlow as a receiving threat, I would start Barlow this week.

I think you can flip a coin on the WRs. I can make good arguments for both. I'd lean towards Smith because I think the Carolina D is quite a bit weaker this year than last.

For the RB, Barlow has been weak (except for one good showing). He's a little dinged too. I'd definitely go with Henry this week.
