Fantasy Football League - Owens and McNabb Hook up for a TD

We finally got to see Eagles WR Terrell Owens in action last night and he picked up right where he left off last year, catching 5 balls for 131 yards and a touchdown. QB Donovan McNabb threw for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns. Any suggestions that the poor off-field chemistry between these two would affect their play on the field have been put to rest for now.

For those of you reluctant to draft Owens, this obviously raises Owens draft value. The only issue to worry about now is whether or not Owens future behavior will eventually earn him a suspension. I think its worth the risk. Owens has the potential to put up huge fantasy numbers. It looks like, for now, all of the preseason turmoil has been left behind.
