I'm sure there is very little chance that Dillon will be with the Bengals
next year.  Watch out where he goes though.  History shows that players who
move to a new team after getting shafted out of town from somewhere they
spent all of their careers respond big that first year as they work a little
harder and have something to prove.  See:  Davis, Stephen 2003.....Bledsoe,
Drew 2002...and my first year in fantasy football and QB in 1993....Boomer
Esiason.  WR's dont seem to count though.
