The Facts:
Chad Pennington won the starting job Tuesday, but he will be missing a key member of the offense when the regular season starts. Curtis Martin will start the year on the physically-unable-to-perform list with a lingering knee injury after missing all of training camp. Eric Mangini made both announcements, which seemed to be foregone conclusions.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pennington, coming off two major shoulder injuries, was in a four-man competition to regain the job that was his before he got hurt. He took control early in camp, outshining Patrick Ramsey, Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger, who are now competing for the backup job. Knowing Martin wouldn't be ready, the Jets traded for San Francisco running back Kevan Barlow last week. Barlow, Derrick Blaylock and Cedric Houston are expected to shoulder the load of the running game.
