Reid tells TO to go home

Sources are reporting that Terrell Owens and head coach Andy Reid exchanged words at a team meeting Wednesday and the wide receiver was asked to leave. Apparently, Owens gathered his belongings and left camp. The receiver has missed several days of practice due to a strained hamstring after threatening to hold out of camp due to the unwillingness of the Eagles to re-work his seven year/48 M deal. It is doubtful that the Eagles are going to trade the troublesome receiver, so the holdout may be back on. Fantasy implications: On average, Owens has been the #2 WR (after Randy Moss) off the fantasy board – Rams WR Torry Holt will likely take his place. If Owens returns to camp in the next week or two, expect him to go in the Top 5, but conservative fantasy owners will be leery of this combustible situation and take players like Holt, Chad Johnson, Marvin Harrison and even Javon Walker ahead of him.

Scope puts Staley out a month

Pittsburgh RB Duce Staley is out a month after arthroscopic surgery revealed a torn meniscus in his right knee. The scope was conducted Monday after a MRI on Sunday was inconclusive. Missing a month will certainly hurt Staley’s fantasy value heading into the season, but since he’s slated to be back for the opener, it is unclear if this will have a major impact on the Steeler running game. Jerome Bettis will be penciled in as the starter, with Verron Haynes and Willie Parker vying for backup duties. In the six games that Staley missed last season, Bettis put up Top 10 numbers, so he may be a nice middle round pick if Staley’s problems linger on.
