Terrell Owens overload

If you’re a fantasy team owner, this is not the week to bench Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens.

Yes, he was disappointed he didn’t get the ball more in last Sunday’s loss to Washington. And, yes, any time a report surfaces of Owens sulking, it’s big news all over the NFL. (It should be noted that Owens denied that report.)

But this week, as the Cowboys prepare to play host to winless Cincinnati, the order to get the ball in Owens’ hands is coming straight from the top. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said today on his weekly radio show that he expects T.O. to get the ball early and often.

‘He’s a terrific playmaker, and we want to get him the ball,’ Jones said. ‘We’ll overly try to get him the ball. There’s no question about that. We should. It ought to open things up for other places on the offense.’
