Terrell Owens is now Buffalo&#8217;s headache.</div>
<p>The Buffalo Bills signed WR <strong>Terrell Owens</strong> to a one year deal on Saturday, a move which seems to be in the best interest of both parties. Owens gives young QB <strong>Trent Edwards</strong> a threat that will allow for more single coverage looks to <strong>Lee Evans</strong>. Paired with <strong>Marshawn Lynch</strong>, the skill positions in Buffalo are all quite talented. Owens should put up good numbers, but this helps Edwards the most. Also, in the past week, the Bills added QB <strong>Ryan Fitzpatrick </strong>to hold the clipboard.</p>
<p>The other big QB signing of the week came when the Cardinals and <strong>Kurt Warner</strong> agreed to a two-year deal. I had a feeling that it would work out all along between Warner and the Cards and that the visit to the 49ers was not too serious, just a bargaining chip. Ultimately Warner got paid, but not the amount he wanted. Now it remains to be seen if the Cards will keep WR <strong>Anquan Boldin</strong>, so the aging QB may lose a top weapon.</p>
<p>There have been a couple of RB signings since free agency started, and all of them have a fairly low fantasy impact. <strong>Correll Buckhalter</strong> signed a deal with the Broncos, which ensures he will be severely injured at some point next season. <strong>Derrick Ward</strong>, part of the three-headed running back attack for the Giants, signed a deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he will compete for carries. Former Texas Longhorn standout and misdemeanor extraordinaire<strong> Cedric Benson</strong> has agreed to stay in Cincinnati, where he will likely be the starting running back. He had a decent year for the Bengals in 2008, so maybe he can build on that.</p>
<p>In WR news, the Seattle Seahawks&#8217; signing of<strong> T.J. Houshmanzadeh</strong> took the headlines. Nobody has caught more balls the last four years than Houshmanzadeh, and he will look to establish a relationship with <strong>Matt Hasselbeck</strong> right away. TJH entertained a deal with the Vikings, which I think would have worked out better, but he opted for the northwest as he has ties to the Washington state region, having attended Oregon State. Obviously, if Hasselbeck stays healthy, his stock goes up for next year with a big new weapon at his disposal.</p>

Paul Millsap has been a fantasy saviour with Carlos Boozer out. Unfortunately, Boozer is nearly set to return.</div>
<p>Welcome to the Part Two of the Hidden Truth: FG Percentage, where today we take a look at FG percentage at the forward position. Thanks to some “helpful” advice, these rankings, unlike those for the guards, incorporate field goals percentage while examining how many shots a game the player takes. Shown in each ranking is field goal percentage, field goals attempted per game, and their scoring average per game. This is relevant because a guy who shoots more will have a greater effect on your team percentage.</p>
<p>Remember, FG percentage is no more important than any other Roto category, but it is something to look at while drafting, trading, and picking up free agents.</p>
<p>1. <strong>David Lee</strong>, New York Knicks (56.4%, 11.7 FGA, 16.4 PPG): Lee plays within five feet of the basket with great success.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Kevin Garnett</strong>, Boston Celtics (52.5%, 13.6 FGA, 16.4 PPG): KG, the heart and soul of the Celtics, is a consistent jump shooter, but can also throw it down in the paint.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Tim Duncan</strong>, San Antonio Spurs (52.2%, 15.6 FGA, 20.8 PPG): The Big Fundamental is always solid in this category and it’s very nice to see him bounce back after a somewhat down season in 2007-08 in which he shot under 50 per cent.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Chris Bosh</strong>, Toronto Raptors (49.6%, 15.9 FGA, 22.8 PPG): Bosh is a great fantasy player who helps in many categories, but let’s hope his knee is okay after taking two weeks off.</p>
<p>5. <strong>LeBron James</strong>, Cleveland Cavaliers (49.1%, 20.3 FGA, 28.5 PPG): King James takes over 20 shots a game and he is shooting nearly 50 per cent, which is obviously great news for your Roto squad.</p>
<p>6. <strong>LaMarcus Aldridge</strong>, Portland Trail Blazers (48.9%, 15.1 FGA, 17.6 PPG): The former Longhorn standout is having a very nice year. He takes about 15 shots a game and makes them at a 49 per cent clip, providing a nice scoring option.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Paul Millsap</strong>, Utah Jazz (54.8%, 10.6 FGA, 14 PPG): Millsap has been an excellent stopgap for <strong>Carlos Boozer</strong>, but his production may be headed downhill with Boozer supposedly very close to returning.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Luis Scola</strong>, Houston Rockets (52.7%, 9.5 FGA, 12.4 PPG): Scola is never flashy, but he plays hard and gets the job done.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Grant Hill</strong>, Phoenix Suns (52.5%, 8.3 FGA, 11.1 PPG): If he were still drinking Sprite, maybe he would shoot the ball more. Hill gets limited minutes but shoots at a solid percentage; in fact, he’s on pace for a career best in this category.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Kenyon Martin</strong>, Denver Nuggets (50.6%, 10.6 FGA, 12.9 PPG): K-Mart has been shopping for easy buckets all year long.</p>
<p>11. <strong>Josh Smith</strong>, Atlanta Hawks (48.6%, 12.6 FGA, 15.7 PPG): The athletic Hawk forward provides an explosive presence on the court.  He is also not too bad on paper.</p>
<p>12. <strong>Dirk Nowitzki</strong>, Dallas Mavericks (47.4%, 20 FGA, 25.9 PPG): – For such a high volume jump shooter, his percentage is right where you want it.</p>
<p>13. <strong>Zach Randolph</strong>, Los Angeles Clippers (47.5%, 18.1 FGA, 22 PPG): Besides being a punkass, Randolph shoots well in the paint.</p>
<p>14. <strong>Boris Diaw</strong>, Charlotte Bobcats (49.4%, 10 FGA, 11.8 PPG): Diaw has a chance to establish his game in a new city, and so far, the results have been excellent.</p>
<p>15. <strong>Udonis Haslem</strong>, Miami Heat (51.4%, 8.8 FGA, 10.8 PPG): Not a go-to guy, but Haslem throws up nearly nine shots a game at over 50 per cent success rate.</p>
<p>16. <strong>Jason Thompson</strong>, Sacramento Kings (50%, 8.3 FGA, 10.4 PPG): The Kings rookie has been up and down all season, but has good numbers for a freshman.</p>
<p>17. <strong>Lamar Odom</strong>, Los Angeles Lakers (49.2%, 8.1 FGA, 10.3 PPG): Odom has been getting way more looks with <strong>Andrew Bynum</strong> going down for an extended period.</p>
<p>18. <strong>Shawn Marion</strong>, Toronto Raptors (48.2%, 10.6 FGA, 12 PPG): It will be interesting to see how he fits in Toronto playing next to Bosh, but don’t be surprised to see his skill reemerge now that he’s out of Miami.</p>
<p><strong>Top 10 Clankers</strong></p>
<p>1. <strong>Ron Artest</strong>, Houston Rockets (38.8%, 13.9 FGA, 15.8 PPG): Overrated. Overrated. Overrated. Yeah, I said it.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Stephen Jackson</strong>, Golden State Warriors (40.5%, 16.7 FGA,  20.5 PPG): S-Jax scores a lot, but he also misses quite a bit.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Hedo Turkoglu</strong>, Orlando Magic (40.1%,  13.9 FGA, 17 PPG) – His name on this list was a surprise to me, as anytime I see the Magic play, he seems to hit a lot of shots.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Al Harrington</strong>New York Knicks (42.3%, 17.5 FGA,  20.2 PPG): Maybe if the shoes he wore were not sold exclusively at K-Mart, he would shoot better.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Peja Stojakovic</strong>, New Orleans Hornets (41.1%, 12.4 FGA, 14.4 PPG): Stojakovic is a long range specialist who shoots two-pointers at an only slightly higher percentage as he does three-pointers.</p>
<p>6. <strong>Richard Jefferson</strong>, Milwaukee Bucks (43.2%, 13.8 FGA, 17.7 PPG): It has got to suck to be stuck in Milwaukee, especially given that half the team is hurt.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Wilson Chandler</strong>, New York Knicks (42.6%, 12.4 FGA, 13.7 PPG) – I am surprised that Chandler has gotten the ball enough to shoot over 12 times a game. I guess in <strong>Mike D’Antoni’s</strong> system, everyone gets looks.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Danny Granger</strong>, Indiana Pacers (43.5%, 19 FGA, 25.4 PPG): It is a shame he has bad knees, because Granger could be a special player. He may force it at times, but his team needs him to shoot the rock.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Andres Nocioni</strong>, Chicago Bulls (41.4%, 8.5 FGA, 10.4 PPG): This year has been a struggle for the native of Argentina.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Matt Barnes</strong>, Phoenix Suns (40.9%, 8.3 FGA, 9.3 PPG): Barnes was on plenty of sleeper lists heading into this season, but despite seeing more minutes than usual, his fantasy relevance has almost completely vanished, in no small part because his shooting continues to suffer.</p>
<p>On Friday, we will take a look at the big dudes and see how they stack up.</p>
