Question
Hello Mr.Robert:  This is a fantasy question.  Do you think that Jon Kitna and Darnay Scott will have decent fantasy seasons this year?  My league awards points for both scores AND yardage.  Most fantasy "experts" advised against drafting Bengals players other than Corey Dillon, but I felt that Scott could be a good player, still.  Kitna is a gamble, but I have Brett Favre as well.  Thank you for your time.

Sincerely Yours,
 David

Answer
Hi David,

I don't think either of those guys will do much fantasy-wise. With Scott, you're looking at 7-8 TDs if ALL goes well, but remember Warrick will enjoy a lot more success than Scott simply because Kitna is not a guy who'll air it out, he played in a West Coast offense in Seattle and Bratkowski will instill the same offense in Cincinnati, so the guy I'd go after is Warrick. If INTs or F hurt a QB in your league, then you don't wanna touch Kitna with a 10-foot pole :) As for the fantasy experts, they're in deep booboo if they advise against picking Warrick. This guy will be tremendous in my opinion. As bad as this sounds, if TDs are big in your league, I think Warrick will be more profitable than Corey

Hope this helps

Seb
