WR/RS Ted Ginn Jr. returned kickoffs for 100- and 101-yard touchdowns last week and went from near the middle of the pack of kick returners to No. 1 in the NFL, ahead of Minnesota rookie Percy Harvin with a 34.9-yard average on 14 returns. Coach Tony Sparano said the demoted receiver can recapture his starting position if he gets more consistent during practice sessions.

Ginn was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday, according to the South Sun-Sentinel.
Recommendation: Not a big surprise seeing as though Ginn set an NFL record with two kickoff returns of 100 yards or more for touchdowns. Now if he could only have close to this kind of production as a receiver he may actually help a fantasy team or two.

After being replaced in the starting lineup, Ginn Jr. had two long kickoff returns for touchdowns in the third quarter, and the Dolphins held off the New York Jets for a 30-25 victory Sunday. He became the first player to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same quarter since Green Bay's Travis Williams in 1967. Ginn had returns of 100 and 101 yards against the Jets.
Advice: Unless the Dolphins make changes, Ginn Jr.'s only value is on special teams after losing his job to Brian Hartline. He's had 18 catches for 211 yards and a touchdown this season, but has struggled with drops and is rumored to be headed out of town.
