Fantasy source.(Fantasy: second half preview)

PLAY ACTION

by ROB HURTT

Owners in need of a second half boost could find it ha three stars who are returning from injuries. Even if you don't own one of these elite players, you still can benefit. Don't overlook the impact their returns will have on teammates.

Michael Vick. Fantasy owners aren't the only ones waiting for Superman to return to Atlanta. Other than a one-week tease, Peerless Price has struggled adjusting to being a No. 1 receiver and working with backup quarterbacks. Vick could help him get on track.

Vick's return also should take pressure off the running game, benefiting T.J. Duckett and Warrick Dunn. Tight end Alge Crumpler still will produce, but Vick won't have to lean on him like Doug Johnson did.

Chad Pennington. The Jets' offense finally started moving behind Vinny Testaverde, but it was a slow and steady pace. Pennington's return will help the team uncover its big-play potential. Look out for wideout Santana Moss.

A quarterback switch won't necessarily affect the backfield. That change could come on its own with LaMont Jordan getting the nod over Curtis Martin at running back.
