It might be a little early for this but I'm just going to draw a little comparison...
Lee Evans: very fast, good route running, decent hands but basically his value comes from the long ball threat. He'll catch around 4-5 balls a game and there's always a possibility he'll grab one of those 2-3 long balls Losman or Edwards will throw.
Chris Henry: fast, good route running, decent hands, tall (6'4) but basically he's a long ball threat and a redzone threat.
Both of these WRs have the odd 7+ catch game but it is an irregularity.
There is a big difference between Evans and Henry that I'm leaving out. WR1 vs WR3 on his team. However looking a bit closer that might not be as big an advantage as it appears to be.
Palmer - 250/380 - 2793yds -18tds - believe it or not Henry has had more targets than Chad Johnson since he's been back.
Losman/Edwards - 164/256 - 1783yds - 4tds - Evans only has 7 catches more than Josh Reed.
I'm not trying to say either of these guys are WR1 or even WR2 on your fantasy teams (lets hope not anyway) I just watched Henry with the Bengals the last two weeks and couldn't help but think of the likeness from a fantasy perspective. As far as fantasy goes if you have a flex spot or you start 3 WR I think both need to be plugged in (based on matchups of course).
I've been watching Lee all year and I personally think he would be more effective as a WR2 but at the moment there's no one else to fill the WR1 role. Last year he had a fantastic year but it looks like he'll come back down to earth with the rest of the non Steve Smith/Marvin Harrison receivers. I'm going to monitor Henry's next couple of games. As I've said, he's only played in two this year - that needs to be considered. But I think with all the talk of Chad leaving town there could be a chance for him to step into that WR2 role. There's plenty of balls being thrown being thrown in Cinci - maybe this kid is undervalued from a fantasy standpoint.
