Is Terrell Owens still a No. 1 fantasy wide receiver? I have no doubt that his presence will help with value of Trent Edwards and Lee Evans, but I think he's almost certain to see his numbers fall compared to what he had in Philadelphia and Dallas. What do you think? -- E. McCulley
Michael Fabiano: I agree with your assesment of the situation, in that Owens makes Edwards a sleeper and Evans should see fewer double teams from opposing defenses. However, I no longer see T.O. as a No. 1 wide receiver in fantasy football. The Bills aren't about to become a pass-laden offense, and Edwards isn't at the same level as either Donovan McNabb or Tony Romo. Owens has always been known for staying in exceptional physical shape, but at 35 he's no spring chicken, either. I would project T.O. to post 60-70 receptions, 1,000-1,100 yards and around eight touchdowns. He'll be a high-end No. 2 fantasy wideout and should come off the board in the early to middle rounds in most drafts.
Hey Mike, which running backs have the easiest schedules during the fantasy football postseason (Weeks 14-16)? Thanks! -- R. Anderson, Jersey City, N.J.
M.F.: Checking out the late-season NFL schedule can be helpful in determining player values, but I would take it with a grain of salt. Defensive effectiveness can rise and fall from one season to the next, so what looks like a good matchup now during the offseason might not be so favorable when the actual games are games. The Jets ranked 29th against the run in 2007, for example, but offseason moves helped them rise to seventh last season.
