Eagles fans will be rooting hard this weekend against the Falcons — their team’s opponent on Sunday. But they may cheer for Atlanta TE Tony Gonzalez if he catches at least five passes.

We’re now six days away from the start of the 2011 NFL season. When the Browns host the Bengals on Sept. 11, Cleveland will do all they can to prevent the kind of yardage Terrell Owens dropped on them in 2010 — a 10-catch, 222-yard effort in a game Cincinnati still lost, 23-20.

There are 21 days until the 2011 NFL season kicks off — and 21 is also the NFL single-game record for receptions. Brandon Marshall, then with the Broncos, set the mark in Week 14 of the 2009 season.

When asked about which veteran receiver among Plaxico Burress, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco (who could very well stick with the Bengals) has the most to offer during his weekly live chat, NFL.com’s Vic Carucci made a somewhat surprising pick.

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens might be a little long in the tooth, but will they still have fantasy value once the lockout ends?

In fairness to Jay Cutler, he needs in Chicago what he had in Denver, a true No. 1 receiver.

In the first week of the lockout, some of the NFL’s biggest names are finding a multitude of ways to keep the cash on coming during this age of uncertainty. Here’s a round-up of what they’re up to.
