Is Ochocinco bound for a rebound? We think so. After an incredibly disappointing season in 08-09 (only 540 yards receiving and 4 touchdowns), Chad "Esteban" Ochocinco (formerly known as Chad Johnson), looks like he is well on his way to becoming an elite fantasy wide receiver once again. He demonstrated during the pre-season that not only can he catch touchdowns, "Esteban" can also kick extra points. We don't actually think his kicking game will be an asset this year in terms of fantasy, but what can't Chad do? During the off season, "Esteben" brought boxing into his workout routine! It seems to be working thus far. "Esteban" showed us on Twitter that he can; rap, cook, box, kick, etc, the list could go on forever.
But can he return to being an elite wide-receiver again? In the first two games of the 09-10 season, Ochocinco is averaging 90 yards a game, and last week caught his first touchdown of the season at Green Bay. Not only did he catch a touchdown, but he did the "Lambeau Leap"! He did what? At Green Bay? No way? Yes, he did folks, its just Chad being Chad, as Manny would say. His week 3 opponents the Pittsburgh Steelers, are giving up an average of 232.5 yards a game through the air. Can they cover Ochocinco? We think he is good for at least 130 yards receiving, and yes a touchdown score. What will he do, if and when he crosses the pylon? Child Please! We can't answer that, only Esteban knows!
