Houshmandzadeh Injury Watch (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter packersfan
- Start date
Trying to decide if I want to start Henry over Clayton in a PPR league... I'm leaning toward Clayton since most of Henry's points came off the 2 catches at the end of the game last week and Clayton "expected" to be a bigger part of the offense this week... who knows though. Might change my mind before Sunday.My other 2 starters are Horn and Jurevicius.

Haven't read thread yet, but about to have TJ live on radio here in Cincinnati as of 3:30pm EST. I am sure hand will be discussed.

He just said he did not practice today and he'll be a GTD, but Marvin Lewis has a policy if you do not practice you do not play.

Quoting what I hear on radio right now with TJ:Has not practiced all week, including today, but he feels good.Says Coach Lewis doesn't let them play if they don't practice during week. He "hopes" he can play Sunday.Ligaments are strained, nothing broken.My view:Of course he is being vague because doesn't want to get in doghouse with Coach Lewis, but it definitely doesn't sound like he is going to play this week.If you have something else besides TJ use it, he will definitely be a game time decision IMO.

Bengals | Henry Likely to See More ActionFri, 14 Oct 2005 12:45:23 -0700Mark Curnutte, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals WR Chris Henry should see additional snaps during Week 6 due to WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh (hand) being unlikely to play. This is the latest I've heard. KFFL

I'm thinking about adding Henry, but our league only allows us 4 WRs and 10 total moves for the year...yeah pretty ridiculous considering injuries, etc. Anyways, I was thinking about picking up Henry, but don't know who to get rid of. Here are my current WRs, I'm thinkin of dropping Mason... 
D. BranchR. SmithR. FergusonD. MasonOh yeah, besides my WRs sucking...I also just lost Deuce.

Heres a little more info on Henry.According to Pro Football Weekly, rookie receiver Chris Henry may be listed behind Kelley Washington on the depth chart, but he's moved ahead of Washington on the field. Henry was active in Weeks 2-4, and Washington was inactive.In that stretch, Henry caught 10 passes, including a 36-yard TD at Chicago. Both receivers played in Week 5, with Henry catching another TD.The 6-4, 200-pound Henry seems to have earned the trust of Carson Palmer, who isn't afraid to throw him the ball. PFW went on to suggest there's a feeling that Washington hasn't developed as the team would have liked in his three seasons.Henry, meanwhile, has outworked Washington, according to a source close to the club. Henry continues to improve, and his height and ability to get deep make him yet another weapon for offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski.Another factor working in Henry's favor: He's taken to the instruction of position coach Hue Jackson. And with T.J. Houshmandzadeh still bothered by a sore hand, Henry will continue to play a more prominent role in the offense for at least another week. Nothing but positives so far about Chris, I think he'll keep improving.

Id say this is the week he finally gets the start opposite CJ. Last week he was listed #3, but clearly looked like the #2 option there w/o Housh. This week, Id say CJ and Henry both score, and maybe Henry gets more yards bc of more long plays and less coverage.Either way, I think after this week Henry is a must start with Housh out, and pending to see how things look when he gets back, and least a matchup starter
Yeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with you there. Yeah.If you could just go ahead and keep agreeing with me, that's be greeeet. Thanks.lumberghStarting Henry w/ T. Glenn, J Witten, and C. Alexander (TE's get 1 point per reception in my league).
My WR corps actually looks decent for a change.that character just cracks me...

(Rotoworld) T.J. Houshmandzadeh, questionable with a hand injury, returned to practice in limited fashion for the first time in two weeks Wednesday.Impact: His hand is improving. Coach Marvin Lewis said Houshmandzadeh is "testifying," to play, whatever that means.

Updated: 10-20-05, 5:15 p.m. Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh dressed for the first time Thursday since injuring his hand in the Oct. 2 win over Houston and caught some balls softly thrown his way in warmups and proceeded to practice in 11-on-11.Head coach Marvin Lewis said he did "OK.," but he is listed as questionable. .

FWIW, through the first 6 weeks, the Overall Questionable Play Pct is 30%, while the Divisional Game Questionable Play Pct is 38%. So there may be something to that, but the difference is not overwhelming. In fact, the Overall and Divisional Game Probable Play Pcts. are almost the same.Maybe he plays cause it is a division game
these posts by you are so weird yet so interesting yet so weird. IIRC you're saving them for an article next summer but may I ask a general question? What coaches "lie" or mislead the most? If ya knock out a few does it make anything more predictable.(Others, please no shanny or BB posts, just a Q to construxboy doing a study)FWIW, through the first 6 weeks, the Overall Questionable Play Pct is 30%, while the Divisional Game Questionable Play Pct is 38%.

I don't have all the team breakdowns done yet, but NE and TEN seem to be the most misleading. TEN has long been known to list a bunch of guys as Questionable who almost always end up playing and that's held true this year as well. NE was mad about ATL's listing of Vick two weeks ago so they put everyone and their mother on the injury list. Stuff like that makes this tough. I'd point out that Mike Herman (I think) is doing a great Coach Speak feature on the main board each week looking at what coaches say and then what they actually do on Sunday. It's a great feature if you're a subscriber.these posts by you are so weird yet so interesting yet so weird. IIRC you're saving them for an article next summer but may I ask a general question?

Per ESPN (Jaws), Houz is expected to start today. So is Hines Ward.
