As far as Miami's wide receiver position goes, all the hype the past two seasons has been over 2007 first-round pick Ted Ginn Jr., especially after his 175-yard game against Buffalo last week. But one game doesn't make a No. 1 receiver. In reality, third-year man Greg Camarillo is the Dolphin wideout who's putting up the best numbers and emerging as quarterback Chad Pennington's favorite target. Camarillo leads the team in receiving with 32 catches for 372 yards and a touchdown this year.

Commentary: One of the reasons that the Dolphins struggled last season was because of their inability to pass the ball effectively. That seems to have changed with the addition of Pennington, who has established a relationship with Camarillo. Ginn may have had the stats last week, but Camarillo was still thrown to 11 times in the game. That says a lot about the confidence Miami has in a receiver who is beginning to make a name for himself.

Fan Pulse: True to form, and certainly not alone in the matter, Dolphins disciples are talking about Ginn: http://www.phins.com/phorum/read.php?3,7928.

Fantasy Football Commentary: Facing a horrible Denver Broncos defense this weekend, Pennington should have another terrific game.

Injury Watch: NT Jason Ferguson seems to be getting back to normal after suffering a groin injury two weeks ago against the Baltimore Ravens. He's probable for this week.

Camarillo is a star in the making, but ALL the receivers need find the endzone. Ginn kills me with his juke and jive junk. Run...
