EdwardG Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 WHAT'S NEWThe offense has a much different look than it did heading into 2003. There no longer is a malcontent at running back, but there also isn't an experienced QB behind center. Though Corey Dillon should have a fine season with the Patriots, his departure was a case of addition by subtraction for the Bengals. That's how much of a distraction he had become. Jon Kitna was a real surprise for Cincinnati and fantasy owners last season, but the team is eyeing the future and turning to the unproven Carson Palmer.Also new this season are lofty expectations. Marvin Lewis did the impossible as a first-year head coach by bringing a sense of respectability to one of the league's most laughable franchises last season. The Bungles became the Bengals. Cincinnati got off to a 1-4 start but was 7-5 at one point before finishing 8-8. The offense made big strides last season, and the 28th-ranked defense must do the same this year.Another change that you are sure to notice: The Bengals play on a Monday night this season. A shipment of ice skates just arrived in hell.For the rest of the article click here.Beware the end, which says we have the toughest fantasy schedule of all.

The Brew Man Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 From a fantasy standpoint, it will be a tought year for our boys. I wouldnt draft the Benglas D, Rudi is a backup at best on a fantasy team. Chad is a stud of course for FF. Carson, not sure. Might depend on your league. I expect him to throw a handful of picks this year, maybe alot. So if you dont get penalized for int's maybe hes a good pick also. Nobody else has any value at all. (unless Perry vultures TDs from Rudi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless Perry vultures TDs from Rudi) Carson may be that late pick wildcard for me. You definitely don't want him as your starter. Who knows what may happen??? It could be like selecting Drew Brees before last year's season.Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
