Chad Ochocinco did not catch a pass in the Patriots' Week 17 win over the Bills. Ochocinco's snap count was extremely limited once again and he saw just one target. His first season in New England was nothing short of a disaster as he failed to catch more than two passes in a single game this year, ending up with 15 catches for 276 yards and one touchdown. The washed-up Ocho won't be a factor in the Patriots' playoff run.

Chad Ochocinco played 54-of-78 snaps in the Patriots' Week 15 win over the Broncos. With Deion Branch (groin) out, Ocho was the clear No. 2 receiver as Tiquan Underwood saw just 15 snaps. But Ocho managed just one catch and saw only three targets -- fourth-most on the team. Even when getting significant playing time, the veteran is off the fantasy radar.

Chad Ochocinco's lone Week 15 catch went for a 33-yard touchdown in New England's win over the Broncos. Starting in place of Deion Branch, Ochocinco looked like he might be on track for a breakout day after capping New England's opening drive with his first touchdown of the season. He would be targeted just two more times, however, again struggling with the Patriots' route concepts while splitting snaps with Tiquan Underwood. If a soon-to-be 34-year-old Ocho is to have any hope of a bounce-back year in 2012, he has to get out of New England.

Offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said injury did not play a part in Chad Ochocinco's four-snap Week 14.

Chad Ochocinco played just four snaps in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Redskins. Beat writer Mike Reiss suggests Ochocinco was dealing with an injury or illness. When Deion Branch got nicked up late in the game, Tiquan Underwood took his place.

Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) returned to a full practice Friday and is listed as probable for Week 14. Ochocinco's hamstring isn't a problem, but his production has been. Through 11 games, the washed-up 33-year-old has 11 catches for 201 yards and zero TDs.

Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) was limited again in Thursday's practice. Taylor Price (hamstring) was also limited. Tiquan Underwood could function as the third receiver and situational deep threat for a second straight week. There's no fantasy value here.

Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) was limited in practice Wednesday. Ochocinco is a non-factor in both fantasy and reality.

The Boston Globe suggests that Chad Ochocinco may now be in Patriots coach Bill Belichick's "doghouse." Per beat writer Greg A. Bedard, Ochocinco "really looked unprepared" for the Patriots' Week 11 game against the Chiefs, and was scratched Sunday despite being "somewhat healthy." Ocho came into the game listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, but it's believed the ailment was never serious. The Pats moved forward with Tiquan Underwood as their third receiver, and rumors have free agent Terrell Owens on New England's radar.

Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. Taylor Price is expected to pick up Ochocinco's snaps, but won't be a fantasy option in any format. Also inactive for the Patriots are CB Devin McCourty, SS Pat Chung, MLB Brandon Spikes, C Dan Connolly, LB Dane Fletcher and QB Ryan Mallett. Antwaun Molden will make another start in McCourty's place, while Sterling Moore will man strong safety.
