Pros: Sure, he experienced a huge letdown in 2009, but part of that could be because of the offense around him. The Buffalo Bills had a horrible offensive line and a poor quarterback situation. Joining the Bengals, Owens will again have an NFL-caliber quarterback throwing to him. He keeps himself in phenomenal shape, so age might not be as big a worry as for some.

Cons: He's still 36 - 37 in December - and will be moving to his third team in the last three years. He'll have to develop chemistry with yet another quarterback. What if Buffalo isn't the only reason for his poor '09 campaign? He managed just 55 receptions for 829 yards and only five touchdowns last year, and of that, 197 yards came in one game (Week 11). His 2009 year continued a downward trend over the last two years.

Fantasy tip: Owens should climb up the draft board now that he has a team; typically, he has gone in the 11th round of most drafts. He has been drafted as a No. 4 wideout. That's far value for him. Playing in a stronger offense with a decent quarterback could motivate the vet.

With Ochocinco, Antonio Bryant and now T.O. along with Matt Jones, Andre Caldwell who had shown flashes last year, Jordan Shipley who has been impressive thus far and rookie TE Gresham there are far too many options for a team that insists it will remain a running oriented team. At minimum I would take a wait and see approach and keep an eye on Bengals camp. If Antonio Bryants knees remain a concern and Matt Jones continues to struggle the pecking order may be more defined allowing for more consistent fantasy production, othewise while they may be a very dangerous team on the field the fantasy situation may be difficult to gauge.
