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: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 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?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.
I would think he would go with the guy who gives him the best chance to win.

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?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?Henry is a great late-round flyer.

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.

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?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.
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.Actually, he scrored 6 TD's as a rookie in 14 games.

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.no suspension???
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.
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.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.

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.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.

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.I think Im gonna do it anyway.

you have to start Henry . . . Cincinnati has a high powered offense, and Henry has the potential to put up big numbers . . .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.
over givens I agree, thinking I may give him a go over wilford... have to think CJ pulls the double team, and Henry benefits greatlyCurrently, 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?
I see they bumped Henry up to WR23 (weekly ranking, here onsite).Why was TJ ranked so much higher earlier in the week than Henry is now?
Wasn't TJ like #7?I see they bumped Henry up to WR23 (weekly ranking, here onsite).Why was TJ ranked so much higher earlier in the week than Henry is now?
because TJ hasn't been ruled outWasn't TJ like #7?I see they bumped Henry up to WR23 (weekly ranking, here onsite).Why was TJ ranked so much higher earlier in the week than Henry is now?
:buzzkill:To temper the Chris Henry hype a little:Last year, Housh was out Weeks 5 and 6.In those weeks:vs. JAX: 3/85/1vs. TEN: 1/5/0I wouldn't go out there *expecting* 100 yards and a TD.
Fair enough.because TJ hasn't been ruled outWasn't TJ like #7?I see they bumped Henry up to WR23 (weekly ranking, here onsite).Why was TJ ranked so much higher earlier in the week than Henry is now?
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!To temper the Chris Henry hype a little:Last year, Housh was out Weeks 5 and 6.In those weeks:vs. JAX: 3/85/1vs. TEN: 1/5/0I wouldn't go out there *expecting* 100 yards and a TD.
