Those of you doing your fantasy drafts right now pay attention, Terrell Owens will be a top 3 wide receiver this year. Guaranteed. I know you're probably thinking I'm bugging because he wasn't a top 3 wide out last year but trust me on this. Take T.O. in the second round and you won't be disappointed. This is more about being one of this man's biggest fans, there's logic and reason behind this statement.
For starters, the Bills are going no huddle this season. Not as a feature, not a little bit, but all the time. This is going to allow Trent Edwards to play against tired defenses more often and will make all of the Bills weapons seem that much better. Buffalo does have a good running game and another excellent receiver on the other side of Owens in Lee Evans. This means less double teams and unlike in Dallas, there's no bff relationship between Edwards and the tight end. The fact that Owens is 6'3" means when they pass in the red zone, Owens is getting the first look. I will be shocked if T.O. has less than 12 TD's this year.
One more thing, Owens is playing for a big contract next year. People forget that this man's livelihood is on the line if he isn't productive in Buffalo. There are always exceptions to the rule and Owens' age will not be the usual determinant of a decline of production. I see Owens much like Jerry Rice, who was able to be a consistent productive performer until he was 40. If that is the case for T.O., that gives him 3 more years and I think he will get a 2-year extension from the Bills when this season ends. So when you lose to the guy that has T.O. in your fantasy league don't say I didn't warn you.
