The Facts:
Pennington was named the Dolphins starting QB for the regular season on Monday, holding off rookie Chad Henne in the two weeks he's spent as a Dolphin. "I'm excited about the opportunity to lead this team. We've worked extremely hard over the last two weeks and I'm proud to be a Miami Dolphin," said Pennington, whose first regular-season game will be against his former team, the Jets.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pennington has given the Dolphins offense a big boost since his arrival from New York, which cut him loose when Brett Favre was acquired in a trade from Green Bay. "We are a young team and I think what Chad brings to the table is management skills," HC Tony Sparano said. The team's receivers have drastically improved since Pennington began practicing with the team, and Sparano insinuated that's not a coincident.
