DAILY NFL PLAYER UPDATE #16 07/21/2009



Bengals- Chad Ochocinco
Chad Ochocinco says actor Denzel Washington contacted him to "make sure my mind was clear" before the Bengals' June 22 minicamp.
Ocho's known for stretching the truth, but seems serious about this one. "He was in Europe, filming a movie, yet he took the time to reach out," Chad said. "He is the coolest individual I’ve ever met." Ochocinco wants to repay Denzel with a "record-breaking year" and swears he's "ready to rock and roll."

Steelers- Ben Roethlisberger
Ben Roethlisberger has canceled a Thursday press conference to promote his reality TV show with Shaquille O'Neal.
It undoubtedly could've gotten ugly in light of Andrea McNulty's accusations against Big Ben. The taping of "Shaq Vs." is scheduled to begin August 18.

Eagles- Brian Westbrook
Brian Westbrook is reportedly in danger of losing his goal-line carries.
The Eagles' other options are Kyle Eckel, rookie LeSean McCoy, and new FB Leonard Weaver. FOXSports reports the "word is" Westbrook (knee, ankle) will resume running by September, but he carries an awful lot of fantasy risk.

Bears- Greg Olsen
FOXSports' John Czarnecki predicts that Greg Olsen will "double his receiving production from 2008" this season.
We share the Czar's belief that Olsen could lead Chicago in receiving, but fully doubling his numbers would give him an unrealistic 108/1148/10 line. We envision Olsen approaching 70 catches and 800 yards, with six scores.

Panthers- Chris Gamble
The Panthers reportedly plan to isolate CB Chris Gamble on opposing No. 1 receivers this season.
Carolina may have learned its lesson after Larry Fitzgerald torched (mostly) Ken Lucas for 166 yards on eight grabs in last year's playoffs. Gamble is usually the club's left corner. He'll be bookended by Richard Marshall in 2009.
