Terrell Owens has finally signed with an NFL team: the Cincinnati Bengals. Earlier in the offseason, Chad Ochocinco came out publicly and lobbied for the Bengals to sign the aging veteran receiver.

With recent speculation that Antonio Bryant's knee is still yet to recover from last year's injury, Bengals management made Owens an offer. No one can think that Owens would come to a team to be a No. 3 receiver, so it is very likely that Bryant will end up as the Bengals third option in the passing game.

We will now find out for good if Carson Palmer's failed success in 2009 was because of his arm or the talent around him. Owens may not be the receiver he once was, but he will be a solid No. 2 receiver.

With Ochocinco, Owens, and Bryant on the team, it will be up to Palmer to steer this ship in the right direction as all three can be very flamboyant at times. If Palmer is ready and able he should make for a decent late end starter to early backup in your fantasy league.

I'm still concerned the Bengals might run the football like a year ago in certain games, but it's hard to believe they will be a heavy run first team this season.

Look for Ochocinco as a decent No. 2 fantasy receiver and Owens as a flex play option  at best for your squad.
