Even though his numbers came back to relative normality in 2009, it was still a pretty strange year for Ochenta y cinco. When he was hot, it was like watching the Chad Johnson of old cruising around out there; catching anything within a five-mile radius, getting the big first downs, putting points up on the board at will. On the flipside, Chad ran into his fair share of difficulties as well, as a couple of rare career feats were achieved by the end of the eccentric receiver’s season. First, Ochocinco has always been known to have some of the sweetest, surest hands in the league, yet he lost two fumbles during the year when he had only lost two fumbles his entire career to that point. Second, in Week 17 against the New York Jets and CB Darrelle “Revis Island”, Ochenta y cinco was held without a reception for the first time since 9/29/2002, a span of 120 games. Chad would see no opposition in blaming his 2002 bout with futility on the fact the Bengals QB in that game was former first-round bust and current flag football specialist, Akili Smith. The excuse for his 2009 shutout may not be wholly on par with his 2002 alibi, but we will admit that Darrelle Revis is one bad MF. All in all, his 72 catches, 9 TDs and 1,047 yards were pretty darn good and made him a solid fantasy WR2 for the year.
~ Ranked 14th in the league with 157.9 WR fantasy points (basic scoring system)
~ Tied for tenth in the league with 9 receiving touchdowns
~ Ranked 20th in the league with 1,047 receiving yards
~ Ranked 23rd in the league with 65.4 receiving yards per game
~ Ranked 26th in the league with 72 receptions
~ Ranked 18th in the league with 128 targets
~ Tied for 13th in the league with 15 receptions of 20+ yards
~ Tied for 15th in the league with 55 catches for first downs
~ Ranked 80th in the league with 232 yards after the catch (YAC)
~ Made his sixth career pro-bowl in 2009
It was nice to see Schizocinco return to fantasy life in 2009, but with the Bengals finding such success in their running game of late, you have to question; which Chad will be allowed to come out and play this year? Projecting what Ocho will do from one moment to the next can be a mind-numbing experience, but that pertains more to his everyday life than his work on the field. The Bengals have become a run-first team, there’s no question about that, which leaves little room for improvement concerning Chad’s numbers this coming year. However, besides his 2008 season, he’s been one of the more consistent wide receivers in the game, so there’s no reason to believe that his production will fall off either. He might be a bit streaky like he was last year, but his overall production should stay right about the same in 2010 with the possibility of slight improvement. Love him as a WR2 on your fantasy team and expect around 75 catches, 1,100 yards, and 8-9 TDs.
~ Cincinnati will be a running team once again in 2010
~ The addition of Antonio Bryant should open up the intermediate routes a little more, which happens to be Ocho’s forte
~ The Bengals have a tough schedule this year, so they may be forced to lay off the running game a bit and pass a little more
~ Will Carson Palmer ever return to his early-career form?

One of Ochocinco's passions outside of Social Media:
Ochocinco signed a six-year, $35.5 million contract that included a $5 million signing bonus, a $3.5 million second-year option bonus, and annual workout bonuses of $250,000. The remainder of the deal is below:
2010 - $5 million (+ $250,000 workout bonus)
2011 - $6 million (Bengals option, + $250,000 workout bonus)
2012 - Free Agent
If the Bengals do not exercise their 2011 option, they will owe Ocho a payment of $3.5 million.
Andre Caldwell or Jordan Shipley should be the handcuff to Ochocinco, but now that Terrell Owens is in the mix, Antonio Bryant could be considered a legitimate option here as well. Make sure to keep track of which one of these guys comes out ahead by the end of the pre-season
Chad has not missed any games due to injury in his career.
