CBSSportsline is stuck in 2005. They have Philip Rivers getting 0 points and Deion Branch getting 8.CBS.Sportsline have him getting zero points due to him have a bruised heel and not playing in the last preseason game. Is he gonna play? I haven't heard anything.
This was just a minor ding. It wasn't at all significant according to what I had read early this week.Houshmandzadeh is expected to be just fine for the regular season opener. He remains useful as a No. 3 receiver in larger leagues now that Carson Palmer appears healthy

Sneak peek from the week 1 passing matchup for Chicago vs. Green Bay (who has Woodson now):CB Charles Woodson arrives from Oakland - he got a big contract, but got torched bigtime vs. the Bengals in week 3 of pre-season, by WR's T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Tab Perry. It remains to be seen if Woodson can help staunch the TD bleeding in the red-zone.According to their injury report, here

He walked off the field without a limp. Since nobody with a hangnail who has already made the opening day roster plays in the fourth pre-season game, TJ had the week off.
Homer alert >>> He's good to go and will likely abuse the KC secondary most of the afternoon.

Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (heel) has been downgraded to questionable. He didn't practice Wednesday and while he emerged from the locker room early in practice Thursday to work on the side, he didn't work in 11-on-11.
If Houshmandzadeh doesn't go, that would most likely promote Chris Henry to the starting role and Kelley Washington to No. 3. Antonio Chatman (groin) has already been ruled out.
It's not the questionable status that scares me, it's the fact that he was downgraded to questionable.That's much worse for a player's potential to play. (Alliteration roX0r)You have to think that late in the week, that is not good for Housh to go Sunday v. KC, though rotoworld says he's been known to play with pain.
I think playing with yourself is a personal foul.BTW--Sportsline has Henry as the #4 in Cincy. Can someone actually confim from a better source that he is the #3?If Housh is out, Henry becomes a huge value this week, ESPECIALLY against Cincy.

If Henry is playing the Cinci defense, well that's just bad.I think playing with yourself is a personal foul.BTW--Sportsline has Henry as the #4 in Cincy.

This thread isn't about Steven Jackson. Move along.

From last year:Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hand) didn’t practice again Friday, heightening the possibility he won't play Sunday for the second straight week in Tennessee and was downgraded to doubtful. Tight end Tony Stewart (back) also didn't work, but is questionable. He didn't play--but obviously, a different situation. Best I could find.We need some homers to chime in on this. Is it normal for Cinci to downgrade a player if he doesn't practice Thursday or is the heel really that bad?$%@%, I really liked this matchup for Housh.

he will not be able to play without TJHow does this impact Carson?
Anyone notice this kernel of wisdom? Dude had almost 1000 yards and 7 TDs to rank 14th last year. He's a borderline number 1 or a great #2 in larger leagues. I just had to laugh at that one.According to their injury report, here

Not sure how it will impact him, but being a Palmer owner going up against Hoodizzle I feel a warm fuzzy feeling as I think Palmer will throw the ball to whomever is running the routes.MrJamela said:How does this impact Carson?
That was four days ago when he was probable.Now that he was *downgraded* to questionable, that statement no longer applies.Anyone notice this kernel of wisdom?

Again, Miller *should* have gotten 9 points.People become too results-oriented in FF. I look at it like poker. I put the best EV+ decisions into it I can, and the rest is up to fate.I started Housh over Heath Miller in a league where TE's get 1pt/5yds rec while WR's get 1pt/10yds.Miller would have given me 26 points last night and now Housh is downgraded.

Downgrading a player this late in the week is usually not a very good sign.Pigskin75 said:We need some homers to chime in on this. Is it normal for Cinci to downgrade a player if he doesn't practice Thursday or is the heel really that bad?$%@%, I really liked this matchup for Housh.
I know, I was just basically saying it was bad luck. Once Big Ben was out, I never considered Miller. It was really a choice of Corey Dillon or Housh (which I can still change if I want).But as far as TJ is concerned, is he going to play or what? Does anyone have any insight on this. Until yesterday, everything was fine and he was good to go against the Chefs.Again, Miller *should* have gotten 9 points.People become too results-oriented in FF. I look at it like poker.

Update: T.J. game time call By GEOFF HOBSONSeptember 8, 20061:25 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 questionable David Pollack (hamstring) and Deltha O’Neal (knee) were ready. 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. With his countdown clock now working on one day plus, Lewis was a bit more relaxed after Friday’s workout than earlier in the week. He had some pretty good perspective on how jacked up the city is for defense of the AFC North title. “Last year they were afraid to jump in with both feet. Now they’ve jumped back in with both feet,” Lewis said. “You’re a little afraid to put that second foot down. Now they’ve got that second foot down. Now that they saw Nine roll out there, they’re ready to jump on.” Nine, of course, being Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Palmer, making the start Sunday eight months to the day of reconstructive knee surgery. “Before Nine was up, they didn’t know,” Lewis said. “But so was the whole league. That’s the way it should be.”
I detest GTD's :XThe dreaded game-time decision!
