81 Terrell Owens, WR
by http://cbs.sportsline.com/
The two most memorable plays Terrell Owens has made for the Dallas Cowboys are two he didn't make: a fourth-down drop that short circuited a rally against the New York Giants, and a deep, sure touchdown pass he dropped against Washington. Midway through his first season in Dallas, Owens has made plenty of headlines off the field, but not much news on it. Sure, his 44 receptions are 11th in the NFL and his 558 yards are 14th. But they are his worst numbers through eight games since 1999, the year before he blossomed into a Pro Bowler. Owens said to expect a lot more plays from him in the coming weeks. "It'll be something personal," he said, adding only that the next eight games will "no doubt" be better than the first eight.
Owens acknowledged his slow start Wednesday and gave several reasons he insisted weren't excuses: a broken hand sustained early in the second game, when he dropped several other passes, including another touchdown; playing two weeks later after having a plate screwed into the broken hand; and the fact Drew Bledsoe started the first six games. T.O. has been playing exceptionally well since Tony Romo took over at the team's starting QB. Despite the slow-start by Owens' standards, he is still a great Fantasy option and should be starting every week. The Cowboys play the Cardinals in Week 10.
