December 28, 2008
Week 17 inactives: QB Brett Ratliff (3rd), K Mike Nugent, TE Bubba Franks, LB Cody Spencer, WR David Clowney, CB David Barrett, CB Drew Coleman, S J.R. Reed

Our View:Jerricho Cotchery and Laveranues Coles are both active for the offense and fantasy owners. The defense will have the services of David Harris and Kris Jenkins.
December 14, 2008
Week 15 inactives: QB Brett Ratliff (3rd), K Mike Nugent, WR Brad Smith, CB Drew Coleman, DB JR Reed, LB Vernon Gholston, LB Jason Trusnik, CB David Barrett.

Our View:Jerricho Cotchery (shoulder) and Laveranues Coles (thigh) are both active, as expected. Linebackers David Harris, Eric Barton, and Bryan Thomas are also good to go.
November 9, 2008
Week 10 inactives: QB Brett Ratliff (3rd), K Mike Nugent, WR David Clowney, CB Justin Miller, RB Marcus Mason, SS Eric Smith, LB David Harris, TE Bubba Franks.

Our View:Fantasy owners will once again have the services of Jerricho Cotchery, Laveranues Coles, and Jay Feely.
October 26, 2008
Week 8 inactives: QB Brett Ratliff 3rd), TE Bubba Franks, CB David Barrett, WR David Clowney, QB Erik Ainge, DL Kareem Brown, LB Marques Murrell, PK Mike Nugent.

Our View:Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery are both active and safe to use against the Chiefs. That's good news for Brett Favre, too.

Brett Ratliff is listed as the third quarterback for the Jets Week 1 tilt in Miami. Also inactive are quarterback Erick Ainge, wide receiver Marcus Henry, wid receiver David Clowney, cornerback Justin Miller, linebacker Kenwin Cummings, offensive lineman Robert Turner, and defensive lineman Kareem Brown.

Our View:Ratliff had a nice preseason and should continue to press Kellen Clemens for the No. 2 job. Miller's foot injury could hurt the return game. This list means offensive tackle Damien Woody (shoulder) is expected to play and probably start.
August 16, 2008
Brett Ratliff was solid again in the Jets second preseason game. He completed 13-of-19 passes for 148 yards, no scores, and no interceptions. Ratliff led the Jets to one field goal make, and Mike Nugent shanked a 23-yard attempt on another drive.

Our View:Brett Favre is obviously the starter for the Jets, but Ratliff is making a case to surpass Kellen Clemens for the No. 2 job.
July 30, 2008
Brett Ratliff has been more impressive than either Chad Pennington or Kellen Clemens to this point in camp, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. He has played so well at times that he has received reps with the first team. It'll be interesting to see if the Jets cut Erik Ainge, a fifth-round pick who has been pedestrian so far, and keep Ratliff, a free agent.

Our View:Ratliff has a big arm and is poised. Said Ratliff, "I tried to spend as much time in the offseason with the coaches, with Chad (Pennington) or Kellen (Clemens), whoever would spend time with me, trying to get better, so when I came in here now, I wasn't swimming like I was last year. I'm still learning, still progressing and I still have a long ways to go." That he does. There's probably not a snowball's chance in hell he winds up the starter. If anything, this should simply lower your expectations for Pennington and Clemens.
