There’s always a new debate about who the best of the best is. We weigh in on who has the best defense, the best QB, who the best players-turned-actors are and even the best bald-headed players of all time.

Now that Cincinnati has deactivated wide receiver Chad Johnson for tonight’s game in Pittsburgh, it is worth revisiting a story that was filed in late July.

Chad Johnson has been deactivated for tonight’s game in Pittsburgh for a violation of team rules. It’s probably a blessing in disguise for fantasy leaguers, who might have otherwise used the controversial and disappointing wideout in what is a terrible matchup against the Steelers at Heinz Field.

Got a call early this morning that Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson got into it last night with someone in the Cincinnati organization — possibly a fight? — and left a team function.

Chad Johnson has come out of nowhere to score two touchdowns in the first half against the Jaguars. Entering the week, he was on pace to post his worst reception and yardage totals since his rookie season.

Is it possible that Chad Johnson is having a good day against the Pittsburgh Steelers with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center?

There is a feeling around the league that when the Cowboys lost to the Redskins, it set off concern. But a loss the next week to the Cardinals set off alarms that resulted in the trade for wide receiver Roy Williams.

Remember when we weren’t surprised when Chad Johnson found the end zone?

Well, he just scored his first touchdown of the season on a 4-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Johnson still isn’t having a great game (three catches, 28 yards), but the score definitely helps.

NFL Network’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Carson Palmer will be the emergency third quarterback for the Bengals today. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start and is now a viable fantasy option for desperate fantasy owners.

When No. 85 takes the field for the Cincinnati Bengals in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, the back of his jersey will say ‘Ocho Cinco.’
