</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>If the preseason is any indication, T.O. will overtake Chad Ochocinco to be the Bengals' No. 1 receiver this year. Ocho all but admitted it's going to happen in a fourth-quarter interview. Owens whipped Joselio Hanson down the right sideline on a 43-yard bomb, and now has nine catches for 108 yards through three preseason games compared to Ochocinco's 3/33 line.

The tweet was in reply to a question about his health from Lionel Larry, a gold medal sprinter. Ocho assured that he's "all good," so it doesn't appear to be an injury that will sideline him for any games. Still, we'd keep an eye on it. Playing through cracked ribs can be an issue of pain tolerance. Make sure Ochocinco practices this week before starting him against Carolina.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Updating a previous item, Chad Ochocinco missed Friday's practice due to a groin injury, but is listed as probable for Week 5.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>The injury is not expected to hinder Ochocinco's playing status, as the probable listing means he's considered "virtually certain to be available for normal duties." Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling rank Ocho 17th among fantasy receivers for Week 5. They have Terrell Owens 21st. The Bengals often hold Ocho out on Fridays, so his absence isn't a major concern. We'd still recommend checking his availability Sunday morning.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Ochocinco did bang up the shoulder in Cincinnati's Week 10 loss to the Colts, but it won't sideline him for Week 11 against the Bills. He returned to finish the game after the injury. Ochocinco has found the end zone each time Carson Palmer has tried 42 or more passes this season. No. 85 is scoreless in the six games Palmer has been at 41 or fewer attempts.

The good news for the Bengals is that Cedric Benson (foot) returned Thursday. Ochocinco was still dealing with pain and limited range of motion after Wednesday's practice. "It's killing me," Ocho said Wednesday. "It's still swollen a lot. I can raise it a little bit. I'm trying to get it stronger." We're still expecting 85 to play against the Bills this week, but his effectiveness could be limited by the injury.

Ocho didn't Tweet the possibility of stitches, but he appears to already have a built-in excuse if Cleveland CB Sheldon Brown gets the better of him in their matchup on Sunday. Start the wideout as you normally would, as he has played well lately. December 18 - 7:49 p.m. ET

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>This is assuming Ochocinco plays at all. He was held out of Wednesday's practice, and his best option might be to get surgery out of the way as early as possible with unrestricted free agency on the horizon. San Diego ranks No. 1 against the pass, so the situation should be easy to avoid in all leagues. Ochocinco will finish the season outside of the top-30 fantasy receivers.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Is this the end of his Bengals career?
