Is Ochocinco The Corey Dillion Sequel?
Chad Ochocinco Scores 1st Touchdown as Patriot
It’s pre-season, nobody cares, I know. But seeing an ex-Bengal succeed in New England colors is just too familiar for me. Remember Corey Dillon? If you don’t, then your fantasy football career is still in diapers.
Corey Dillon was a running back that thrived as a Bungal, but wasted away in Cincinnati (sorry, but it’s the truth). Dillon, who was a workhorse fantasy stud and actually held the single-game record for rushing yards for more than a few years, was reborn in New England. He was looking like a player touched by age in 03-04 but found life again as a Patriot for a couple power-sleeper seasons.

Ochocinco is now catching passes from Tom Brady. The connection between Carson Palmer and Ochocinco was good… but how great could things be with an all star quarterback like Tom Brady? It’s early, but this is a connection that is on my early fantasy radar.
Tom Brady makes the most of all bad defenses plays.
