American Football 2h ago. Odell Beckham Jr. Rams 3h ago. Ravens vs. Dolphins final score, results: Tua Tagovailoa returns, helps Dolphins to upset victory. Terrell Owens fans, I would not get excited about this rumor.
The Bears are going to want to see what Marquess Wilson can do before they bring in a distraction like Owens. Game Day Live! View your notifications. Log In. Loading your leagues. If he even does end up signing with a team, it isn't likely he will contribute much to make a significant impact on your weekly roster or your scoring. Forget Owens; there are far more receivers out there who could produce just as well for you and have a greater guarantee of health for the entire season.
Oh, Tiki Barber. The running back is currently in his version of Favre-Watch this season, coming out of retirement after being away from the game for four seasons, only no one finds his situation nearly as compelling as the quarterback's. He spent his final season with the New York Giants developing a reputation as a locker room cancer, and believed the team would never win a Super Bowl without his services.
They proved him wrong by doing so in his first year of retirement. After trying his hand at television, Barber thinks he is prime for a return to his former glory as one of the league's toughest rushers. But his best years are certainly behind him, and it is very telling that while teams have worked him out this offseason, none have extended an offer. Yes, teams will thin out at running back this season due to injury, but it definitely does not follow that Barber will get a shot starting at any point in Don't waste your draft pick on a running back who is likely to sit on your bench; find someone who can actively contribute to your fantasy team from Week 1.
Yes, he's got a recognizable name, but chances are you know who Roy Williams is for all the wrong reasons. Seriously, did any actually go in his mouth? I don't like people who do sit-ups in their driveways. There, I said it. He's just a guy I've always hated, and the fact that he's played for the Eagles and the Cowboys, two rivals of my beloved Redskins, hasn't helped. But for all the things I do not like about him personally, I will say this.
He's backed it up. He's talked the talk but he's also walked the walk. And that's why, this season, I decided to draft him. I'd never owned T. I've been a huge "running back, running back" guy for many years, so Owens was never around when it was time for me to draft my first wideout.
But this season, sticking to my "best player available" strategy, I threw my personal hatred to the wind as I always do in fantasy and grabbed Terrible Owens in two leagues. And what do I have to show for it? No yard games. Three straight weeks of less than 40 yards receiving.
Three straight weeks of three fantasy points. Three straight weeks of seeing him, at a news conference after the game, talking about what he didn't do. With apologies to the philosopher Joan Jett, I hate myself for drafting you. It's not like the Cowboys aren't trying to get him the ball.
Only Jason Witten has more targets this season, and that's by one. Owens has had 25 targets the past three weeks. Sure, T. And now it has come to this. Owens is not even an automatic start this week. When I sat down to do my rankings I find it more comfortable than standing up to do my rankings , I realized I have him outside my top Way outside. Which means, in an ESPN standard league, in which you have 10 teams and start two wide receivers per team, he's most likely a bench.
At best, he's a borderline flex option for those without much depth at running back or a bunch of productive players on bye. It's not just the recent lack of production that guided this decision. It's the fact that Brad Johnson can't go deep. Plus, over the past three weeks, Cowboys quarterbacks have been sacked 14 times, tied for 13th-most in the league.
Guess who leads the league in sacks? Musical hint: They Might Be Giants. So this means Johnson will have to get rid of the ball quickly, which means no seven-step drops to at least attempt to fling it to Owens deep. And it's not like Owens has been the most enthusiastic guy about going over the middle.
Plus, a banged-up Witten means the Giants can focus even more on shutting down T. Add that to the fact that Big Blue has given up only three passing touchdowns in four home games this season, and man, I hate Terrell Owens. One of two things now will happen. He either will do nothing, as I am predicting, and continue to make my second-round pick a waste. Or he will go off, making me look like a moron.
Er, more than normal. Seriously, I hate Terrell Owens. Who else do I hate? And who do I love for Week 9? I continually do more research over the course of the week; new injuries, etc.
