The Facts:
On Sirius NFL Radio on Tuesday, Palmer issued his strongest criticism yet about the absence of Ochocinco. “Chad's pretty much gone," Palmer said of the veteran WR. When asked what his expectations about Ochocinco this season were, Palmer said: “Well, I really don't know. I haven't talked to him. I haven't talked to anybody that has talked to him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Palmer went on to suggest Chris Henry appears to be more than capable of handling Ochocinco's spot. Palmer also lauded the play of receivers Laveranues Coles, Andre Caldwell and Jerome Simpson. As Enquirer staffer Joe Reedy notes, Palmer has repeatedly said during the conditioning drills that he was only concerned about the players who were in Cincinnati. Ochocinco is reportedly training in Los Angeles, and is expected to be at the mandatory mini-camp June 18-20.
