Fantasy basketball Anthony Edwards is soaring and shooting to new fantasy heights. Ochocinco fulfilled his promise to perform the famous "Lambeau Leap" after a touchdown last weekend at Green Bay even if it was planned to help the Bengals defeat the Packers He led all Bengals receivers with four receptions for 91 yards, including a yard touchdown in the third quarter that lead to his leap into the crowd.
Through the first two games of the season, Ochocinco has hauled in nine receptions for yards and a touchdown. This may seem like nothing out of the ordinary considering the type of player he is, but in reality, this may come as a huge relief to the fans of Cincinnati.
After a disappointing campaign, in which he finished with just 53 receptions for yards and four touchdowns, many wondered if Ochocinco still had what it takes to be an effective wide receiver in the NFL , considering he would be entering his ninth season with the Bengals.
However, it appears that his age is not the deciding factor on how well he performs on the field, but the player throwing him the ball is. Palmer suffered a frayed ligament in the elbow of his throwing arm against the New York Giants during Week Three of last season. He attempted to play again in a game against the Dallas Cowboys two weeks later, but that would end up being the final match for Palmer in With him on the bench, the team was left with backup Ryan Fitzpatrick to fill in for Palmer as the Bengals' quarterback.
It's obvious Fitzpatrick is nowhere near as talented of a quarterback as Palmer, and last season was enough to prove it. Palmer has more experience, better leadership skills, and is arguably one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, which can be tough shoes for a player like Fitzpatrick to fill. It's unfair to say Fitzpatrick was to blame for the type of season Ochocinco had last season, but it's obvious that it may have had a significant impact, and the numbers prove it.
With Palmer healthy this season, Ochocinco is already one-third of the way to reaching the total number of yards he recorded last season. If the first two games are any indication of what to expect for the remainder of the season, the Bengals and their fans will be satisfied to have the Ochocinco they are used to seeing week after week.
