Reid, Owens to hash out camp problems: "Andy Reid called the ejection of Terrell Owens (t d f) from training camp in-house business, adding the tempestuous wide receiver would not be permitted back to camp until the two of them fully discuss the problem."
Fantasy Sac Says: (t d f) This is getting ugly and may scare lots of owners away from TO. What do you do if you already got him? Personally I see TO having a MONSTER year, yeah you read that right. I still think TO's or is it T.O.'s Ego is much larger then his wallet.

With the dearth of experienced Eagles receivers not named Owens, I'm concerned about McNabb's fantasy value. Without Owens to catch the ball, I think he falls from #10 overall to at least #20.
Sorry I haven't visited your site in a while - now that the season is starting up I'll be around!
Owens was not there in 2003 and McNabb didn't do so bad, or in 2002...
yeah I agree, I keep hearing how TO makes McNabb a better draft player. He was a stud without him, TO only helped him not have to run so much. My only worry for McNabb (as silly as it may sound) him being on the cover on Madden.
Look at his stats
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4650/career
Yes, with TO he got a few more passing TDs. (about 1 extra every 3 games) and remember when looking at those stats that he was out for 6 games durring the 02 year. Providing he stays healthy, he'll get you at-least 25 touchdowns (which should make him a top 10 QB)
on a side note: I like TO, and I enjoy his antics. I think it adds personality to the team. I also think it's fair for TO to be doing what he is. He's one of the best WR's out there -if not the best. why shouldn't he have top WR or top 5 WR pay? Plus he does more than just catch the ball, he does block too unlike a lot of other WRs. I think he should have just not shown up rather than having the media make an ass out of him (or him making an ass out of himself in front of the media). Or shown up and just worked out but not played. What he's doing right now doesn't make him look professional but instead like a child throwing a fit.
So it sounds like Reid may have told him to shut up... If your boss told you to shut up in front of people would you be happy? I wouldn't, and I know if I were TO I would have had an altercation too.
If you'll re-read my comment, I'm saying that without more experienced receivers, the passing TD's might not be there. Remember, Pinkston's on IR.
I'm a McNabb owner; check out my league site (http://www.brutaldeluxe.us/) and our podcast there. I'm planning on keeping McNabb because I do think he will still do well this year. However, my league weighs TDs heavily and TO brought a few more to the table.
I understand their WR corps are weaker, but no weaker than they were when McNabb had to choose between Pinkston and FredEx 3 years ago. They had Duce in the backfield, and sometimes he would show up.
Yes, it would be easier on him and he would have a few more points if Owens was there. However, even with Owens #10 overall is still too high -maybe if there are 5 people in your league.- With Owens I would rank him 2 or 3 best QBs, without him I would only drop him to like 5.
Westbrook and LJ are pretty good options and Greg Lewis showed up in the superbowl last year, which could ride over.
Look at Brady, and Trent Green, they have so-so/questionable WRs and they consistantly put up solid fantasy points, and honestly I think McNabb is a better QB than either of them.
I'm a gambling man, and I heard it time and time again; you don't bet against streaks or curses. -real or not- I won't get him because of Madden. If he wasn't on Madden yes I would snag him Rd 2 or 3. -Cause you should not draft a QB round 1.
