What is his situation? I know he is always in trouble?

But he is on a high powered Offense and he had a big peseason.

How talented is he? We he definitely be suspeneded or in jail?

 
Talent-wise Henry is amognst the most talented WRs in the league. Character-wise Henry is in Cecil Collins territory.

If you can get him cheap as a true boom-or-bust type player, I would recommend it. He has to be a guy that if he gets another strike, you can cut him loose without too much thought. However, he's a great bye week filler.

As far as his legal troubles: he currently faces no suspension. However, his trial is coming up for his gun charge in florida and if convicted, could face a suspension. Pro athelete's lawyers typically are able to get these things postponed to the offseason, but who knows?

In the four preseason game, Henry only played in two. He was rehabbing from the injury he suffered against the Bengals in the playoffs last year. However, in those two games, he scored in both of them.

 
If you need a WR this week I think Henry makes a fine spot-start. Cincy will certainly need some points going into Arrowhead. Palmer will also be without Chris Perry (3rd down back) and Antonio Chatman (supposed to be 3rd WR). With Law and Surtain on CJ and Houshie I think Henry could be a very nice play this week.

Any word on the gun case? I found that the rape charges are probably bogus, as there is a warrant for the arrest of the accuser.I found this online about the gun caes from August 21:

No action today in Henry gun case

No hearing was held this morning in Florida's 9th Judicial Circuit Court on the case involving Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry. There is a two-week window for a trial to start. Henry is facing a felony concealed firearms charge, stemming from his arrest Jan. 28 in Orlando. Henry was at the Bengals facility today but did not practice. He continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury suffered in the first preseason game against the Redskins.

__________

I'm not a lawyer, so really have no idea what this means. But 2-weeks has passed, hasn't it? I love how I'm trying to find out if my 5WR is going to jail for gun or rape charges. :loco: The guy can play ball though.

 
Henry is a great late-round flyer. AS stated before by many, his talent is undeniable, but he's a bonehead. He definitely has roster value, and in leagues where you don't have to pick your line up (best scorers are taken), he's a nice find IMO.

 
His deal is that he's sentenced to three to five, but will be out in one and on probation for two more years if he pleads guilty. Next! :popcorn:

If an injury happens to one of the starting 2, do you think Henry, whith his legal uncertainty, will step in or will marvin more likely go with the safer chatman or tab perry?

I would think he would go with the guy who gives him the best chance to win. Despite being a complete idiot, Henry is the WR that gives him the best chance to win.
 
Cmon...seriously....

C.Henry is very talented and Perry and Chatman is nowhere near him, actually he's more closer than overtaking Housh for the wr2 spot. Why would Carlson and Chad stand up and defend this guy when he could have easily been punished for his off the field issues. But what happens? Marvin gives him another chance and what do he do....he shines in traicing camp, and in the preseason games.

Even for his limited time last year look what he produced.... His talents cant be ignored.

DYNASTY WISE: this guys is one of the better wr prospects and he could actually play for you this year from time to time. He has a high ceiling.

Also he has a issue with his otf issues. And even if that is the case you gotta know exactly when to sell out....he has high dynasty value in all my dynasty leagues im in.

The time for Marvin to have used his "legal uncertainty" to make a decision on Henry was when he was making roster cuts. Why on earth would he keep him out of the lineup in a week where Housh or Chad can't go if he's on the roster?

FWIW I like Chris Henry to put forth good WR3 stats this year. Comparable to Brandon Stokley a few years past, but likely not the 10 TD's like Stokley had. Henry is a great value considering his ADP position.

Actually, he scrored 6 TD's as a rookie in 14 games. I'm not sure that it's too unreasonable to expect 8 TD's in '06 if he stays on the field for 16 games. This assumes that TJ and CJ stay healthy. If either misses any time, who knows?

Perhaps the bigger question is - can Carson Palmer put up 49 TD's like Peyton Manning did including a repeat of the first ever trio of 10-TD WR's?Johnson, TJ and Henry... I suppose it's possible, especially considering the TE position in CIN is virtually non-existent.
 
He could have a big day on Sunday. I don't see Johnson or Housh, against Surtain and Law, going off for massive days -- but Henry, against Lenny Walls or Benny Sapp, could fly under the radar for 100+ yards and a touchdown.

 
no suspension???
Not yet. :crosses fingers:I like Henry...a lot. I think he has more potential in becoming the #2 WR since his downfield ability is in the top percentage in the whole league. CJ and CH is looking like the future of the program, with TJ getting a whole lot of playing time as well as he is a big-time catch maker (3rd downs, when we need a good 5-10 yards) Picture this: CJ and CH outside with TJ slot. Then put Rudi/Perry in the backfield paired with Jeremi Johnson. They probably won't ever need a TE outside of running/short situations, especially with the caliber line they have. Carson has to have at least 1 guy open all of the time with those kind of threats. You just can't cover them all. They could run 3 wide practically every time.I could see Henry becoming Reggie Wayne in terms of production (even though I think he's more talented than Reggie) CJ will get his, but Henry will get plenty of touches considering the coverage will be focused on CJ on long balls. Even though it's foolish to think you can't stop 85.
 
Bengals | Houshmandzadeh downgraded to questionable for Week 1

Thu, 7 Sep 2006 16:07:52 -0700

Mark Curnutte, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel) has been downgraded to questionable for Week 1. He missed practice Thursday, Sept. 7, but was able to work on the sideline with trainers. WR Chris Henry will start for Houshmandzadeh if he is unable to play.

Update: T.J. game-time callBy GEOFF HOBSONSeptember 8, 2006Posted: 1:25 p.m.It looks like wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel) is going to be a game-time decision Sunday after he was the only Bengal who didn’t practice Friday on the Paul Brown Stadium field.Defensive tackle Sam Adams (knee) returned to practice and head coach Marvin Lewis indicated that David Pollack (hamstring) and Deltha O’Neal (knee) were ready after practicing and being upgraded to probable.Lewis wouldn’t say how that would affect the receiver corps, but with Antonio Chatman (groin) already out, the assumption is Chris Henry starts on the outside and Kelley Washington handles the slot if Houshmandzadeh can’t go.

Im actually thinking about dropping Brandon Lloyd and picking up Henry.

As bad as Washingtons offense has looked, along with the difference at QB between the teams, and the fact that my league is TD heavy, I think Henry could be a better play than Lloyd. Henry had 6tds in 14 games last year. If Palmer has truly picked up where he left off last year, Henry could be a shoe-in for 6TDs again.

Lloyd has to contend with Portis, Moss, Randel El and Cooley for tagets. Henry is pretty much all alone as option 3 as Rudi doesnt catch many balls and Perry is gimpy.

Someone talk me into or out of it.

If Housh or CJ went down for any length of time, Henry coule be top 20-25 for those weeks (including this week), but otherwise, I think Henry would have a season similar to the one Stokley had in '04. The #'s would look good overall, but it would be feast or famine from week to week. Lloyd could wind up being more consistant.

Don't look for Houshmandzadeh on Sunday

Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, downgraded from probable (75 percent chance of playing) to questionable (50 percent chance of playing), did not practice at all this week.

The Bengals will open their season Sunday at Kansas City. Don't look for Houshmandzadeh to play. Coach Marvin Lewis rarely dresses a player for the game who did not practice even once all week. Houshmandzadeh is one of the toughest Bengals players. He hardly ever misses practice. For him to be out means he must be injured significantly. He's a gamer.

The Bengals will be left with four wide receivers if Houshmandzadeh doesn't go: Chad Johnson, Chris Henry, Tab Perry and Kelley Washington.

It should be a plus for Kansas City not to face Houshmandzadeh. If teams double-team Johnson, Houshmandzadeh hurts them bad. Henry is a strong receiver and will need to have a big game. Perry has improved with more work.

Washington, the fourth-year receiver that Lewis says the media has tried to cut, is a good safety valve to have. He knows the offense. While he doesn't get the best separation from defensive backs, he does catch the ball in traffic.

I think Im gonna do it anyway. With Portis out for maybe 2 weeks, Washington could come out limping to start the season....I think I like Palmer's WR3 more than Brunell's WR2a. My league doesnt give yardage points until 50+yds anyway, so Lloyd may not be that much better of a start alot of weeks.The Palmer owner (who I play this week and once more later) is in my division, so I think it could serve me well to have him to start against him. This is a start 3WR league so its not like I have to bench anybody good to start Henry...I really hate dropping players I drafted before week one, but this one has me thinking reallllly hard about it.

What you saw from Washington in the preseason was a watered down of an offense as any out there. Those are veteran coaches with secure jobs who don't give a damn about impressing anyone in August. I wouldn't change my impressions of this offense based upon what you saw there. As for Portis, I don't think his absence will affect the passing game all that much, at least in the short term. If you're going to drop Lloyd, don't do it for those reasons.
 
So... if Housh is ruled out before gametime Sunday and we know Henry will be starting, what kind of numbers do you guys look for from him? And where would you vault him to in your rankings for the week?

I'm strongly considering getting him in there as a WR3 this week in a league where my WRs aren't spectacular.

you have to start Henry . . . Cincinnati has a high powered offense, and Henry has the potential to put up big numbers . . .

Henry is likely getting the nod this week as my WR3 over David Givens.

 
NFL Deep Threats:

1. Randy Moss

2. Steve Smith

3. Santana Moss

4. Chris Henry

He's that good. Henry in the WR2 slot opposite CJ is fantasy gold. Character issues aside he's one of the 10 most talented WR's in the league and if Housh is out, there's no question he's a top 25 play.

Full disclosure: Much to my chagrin, I do not own Henry in any league.

Henry is so good, he very well might get the WR2 nod for me over Derrick Mason.

Great matchup, very good player, and great situation.

 
Currently, I'm giving C. Henry the start over David Givens, Reggie Brown, Isaac Bruce, and others... I hope it works out.

I already have Chad Johnson in my line-up so this will be an interesting week. Go Bengals?

over givens I agree, thinking I may give him a go over wilford... have to think CJ pulls the double team, and Henry benefits greatly
 
Here's one for ya. I've got Henry (WW pickup) in a couple leagues, would you start him over the likes of Burleson (@ Det), A. Bryant (@ AZ), or even Galloway (vs Balt)? Galloway would usually be a no brainer, but I really don't like that matchup. Again, this would all hinge on Housh indeed being out. Thoughts?

Chris Henry

Henry should be owned in all leagues. His chances of starting this week shot up when T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel) was downgraded to questionable Thursday. Henry has Randy Moss-like skills and would be a fine fantasy play as a flex or third wideout if he’s in the starting lineup for Sunday’s matchup with Kansas City. Cincy’s inactives should be made public Sunday morning.

 
Why was TJ ranked so much higher earlier in the week than Henry is now?

 
With TJ out I am starting Henry over Gabriel.

I expect 70 something yards and 1 score.

I have always liked Henry it is just unfortunate that he sits behind 2 excellent wideouts.

If he was a #2 instead of a #3 on a good team he would be a top 20 WR.

 
To temper the Chris Henry hype a little:

Last year, Housh was out Weeks 5 and 6.

In those weeks:

vs. JAX: 3/85/1

vs. TEN: 1/5/0

I wouldn't go out there *expecting* 100 yards and a TD.

Yeah but in the Tennessee game CJ was on fire and had 8 for 135 and a TD on 9 targets, and Chris Perry had 9 for 45 and a TD on 9 targets. Henry was only targeted twice in that game (it was his 5th game as a pro). I think since then Palmer has a *tad* more confidence in him.The gooder news is that Perry is out week 1, so he wont hog a bunch of targets from Henry.Start Henry with confidence folks!
 
From KFFL:

Sep 9

ChannelCincinnati.com reports the woman who accused Cincinnati Bengals WR Chris Henry of sexually assaulting her has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Golf Manor man. The 18-year-old woman, Monica Beamon, has been charged with one count of murder after officers found Louis Carcelli dead inside an apartment Aug. 25. The affidavit claims Carcelli solicited Beamon for sex and drover her back to his apartment where Beamon killed him after an argument over money. Beamon then stole his car and was found in Avondale by detectives Thursday, Sept. 7, according to police. She is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
