Lemon To Make First NFL Start

It's a week of breakthroughs for quarterback Cleo Lemon, who threw his first career touchdown pass and now looks forward to his first NFL start.

The third-year pro will replace Joey Harrington in the Miami Dolphins' lineup Sunday against Indianapolis, coach Nick Saban said Wednesday.

"It's important for us to see where this guy is," Saban said. "I think he deserves the opportunity."

Lemon came off the bench in the past two games. He replaced Harrington at halftime of Monday's loss to the New York Jets, and the Dolphins' streak of seven quarters without a point ended when Lemon threw for a score in the fourth period.

Fantasy Football Impact: Joey Harrington shouldn't start for any NFL team - this is just another indication.
