Top 100 Fantasy Football Payers

According to the Yahoo! fantasy experts, Chad Ochocinco(notes) was the biggest winner since the NFL opened up free agency. Once a lock for 90 catches and 1,200 yards, things had started to dry up in Cincinnati in recent years, and last season he recorded fewer than 1,000 yards and five touchdowns for the second time in the past three years.

With the Bengals looking to get younger, it asked for no more than two late-round draft picks from the Patriots as the price for assuming control of The Ocho Show. And, while the Pats had to only pay modestly for his services, a teaming with Tom Brady and a Patriots passing game that runs the kind of precise short- and intermediate-range passing game that suits Ochocinco like a glove has returned a premium to his fantasy value. Just a few weeks back, Ochocinco was out of the top 100 fantasy discussion. But a marriage with Bill Belichick and company has landed him inside the top 60.
