Terry Glenn vs. Chris Henry (1 Viewer)

[Steel Town]

Both Glenn and Henry seem positioned to join there teams in the near future. Glenn is coming off a solid year of production, and Romo is certainly establishing himself as an elite qb. Henry is a knucklehead, but is a true talent and seems to have a knack for finding the end zone. I think the shark move is to take a shot at one of these guys - you probably don't have the roster space for both - very soon. The window to grab them is going to close abruptly, so I think now is the time to make the move.

My gut tells me that Henry has the bigger upside. The Bengals can't play defense, but there offense can keep them in ball games. The injury to Rudi should force the Bengals to rely on the pass more. And Henry's height makes him a solid red zone target. Plus no other wr has stepped up in his absence....unlike the Cowboys, where Crayton and Witten have capitalized on Glenn's absence. I am leaning towards taking a flyer on Henry over Glenn.....looking for some discussion on what to expect from these two.

Is Morency still banged up?

Morency looked really bad 2 weeks ago.

Everybody on both offenses looked really bad 2 weeks ago (except Cooley, I guess...).2 good defenses + sloppy conditions = ugly offense across the board.

I didn't read your post. The answer is Henry, Cinn. misses him.

A whole lot of strange stuff happening in that post..But I agree. Henry will probably be the better play as Crayton has played well in Glenn's absence and Glenn is comming off of an injury that some feared would be career ending..

 

[Cabby]

I think I would go with Henry...Bengals are going to be throwing a lot and Henry is a redzone target. Glenn is already taken in my league. I am debating if I should pick up Henry of Hackett..Hackett should be back for week 9 and Henry should be back for week 10. I I currently have Fitz, Ward, Cotchery, Marshall and Crayton. If Glenn comes back, I am thinking that he takes over No. 2 but I'm not sure. So I'm thinking of dropping Crayton and picking up either Hackett or Henry. Im just not sure where Hackett will fit in... before the year there was a chance he could be the #1 WR but im not sure now, if Branch's injury lingers Hackett could be very good. I think either would be a good pickup but I'm just not sure which one has more upside for the rest of the season.

Take a peek at Cincy's playoff schedule:

Week 14- v. STL

Week 15- @ SF

Week 16- v. Cle

Week 17- @ Mia

Henry could be very playable.

i just picked up glenn.

cowboys havent been doing much vertically this year, and i think glenn will have plenty of opprotunity.

biggest question is how healthy he will be.

 

[ShadowMaster]

I'd go Glenn

Glenn is a WR2, Henry is a WR3 = Glenn will see more field time and targets

Henry MAY put up more TDs, but can you afford to start him when he doesn't? Glenn should still produce some fair yardage numbers to make up for a no TD day, while Henry will probably goose egg ya.

 

[faux_bear]

Interesting, I thought Henry was a no-brainer.

Oh there is no doubt about that.

Glenn would be a WR2 if he was completely healthy, which there is no guarantee of in 2007. However even as a WR2 you have to downgrade him because Witten is like another WR, whereas in Cincy the Bengals seldom throw to the TE. Henry is, as far as we know, 100% healthy and should be able to step right back in and operate at a high level. His schedule in the playoffs is almost ideal. Personally I have little interest in Glenn for 2007 as a still-hurting speed guy coming off surgery. He is still trying to ramp up his rehab so that he can start running in 2-3 weeks, which is right when Henry will be stepping directly into the Bengal lineup.

Second half of Season '06, Preseason...

When Henry is playing Bengals fare much better offensively...

 

[GoBirds]

Have TJ and am thinking of picking up Henry as insurance/4th receiver. If either starter gets hurt he steps in and puts up big #'s. Chad missed practice today with an ankle problem.

Do I drop reggie brown or wynn for him today or wait til i can drop my bye week kicker?

 

[The Hank]

I picked up both

 

[Texican]

As I posted in another thread, Wade Phillips today stated that Glenn is trying to build up his quad now. He said this should take 1-2 weeks. Then Glenn could begin jogging and running. He said they are still a ways from knowing where Glenn is football-wise.

Not a definite time-line, but the way he was talking made me guess at least another month.

Glenn wont play until week 12 or 13 and i dont think that he will get his job of #2 WR for sure , Crayton played well enough that Glenn might end up #3 , so Henry without a doubt .

Great topic! This is what the pool is all about!

Call me crazy..but I picked up Ashley Lelie.. Henry? why take him with chad and TJ? Glenn? well i am keeping my eye on him...still too learly yet.

OK, you asked for it....CRAZY.Have you watched Henry? He has a nose for the endzone.In 2006, he had 9 TD's on 36 rec's. (1 TD per 4 rec's)In 2005, he had 6 TD's on 31 rec's. (1 TD per 5.1 rec's)Show me any other player to contemplate as a mid-season waiver wire pick up who has shown he only needs 4 or 5 receptions a game to pull down a TD. Henry started practicing with the team yesterday? Given he has no injuries to deal with (relative to Glenn) he should be up to speed in a few weeks and hit the ground running come week 10/11. Add in that juicy fantasy playoff schedule.....I say he is a no brainer @ waiver wire cost.

 

[DarkManX]

I have had Henry on my bench in my keeper league since week 2. We have enough spots and I have been relatively lucky with injuries I was able to stash him. He will be a valuable player for all Cinci players I would imagine. I also have Palmer and Chad and will be happy to start Henry at #3 if he can find the field between, Chad, TO, Branch, Cotchery + Welker. If push comes to shove, you can have some good trade bait if you cant use Henry or your current WR.

Crazy.

 

[KellysHeroes]

What does 2008 hold for Henry... still WR#3 on that team?

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry dislocated the ring finger on his right hand during the team's practice on Wednesday. Plus being #3 behind TJ and Johnson? I just dont see it.

hes always been behind TJ and CJ. what's there not to see? i remember owning ocho the past couple years and would get pissed off when chris henry would vulture TDs in the redzone. not happening to me again this year ... mainly cause of TJ too. hahaha.

 

[Steel Town]

I would have to think that ring finger injury will be a non-issue once he is eligible to return to the field.

I agree on your timeline but disagree on depth chart placement. If/when Glenn comes back healthy, he is without a doubt the #2 flanker on the team. He is the deep threat and the speed guy that they've been missing in the offense. Pat Crayton is a solid hands receiver, but don't kid yourself into thinking they are interchangeable. Crayton excels in the slot and underneath because he is a relatively big body with excellent hands and good positioning of his size, and because defenses can't dedicate their better pass defenders to him. Glenn, on the other hand, will draw safeties his direction due to his speed. They are different animals and have different roles in the offense.

 

[theToes]

I think Henry could put up some decent numbers in the second half. I still think Glenn is heading for IR. Henry, finger aside, will be coming back to the team healthy. He will still be behind Chad and TJ but the bengals will only be facing 2 tough D's for the rest of the season (Pitt and Bal)

I am actually thinking of grabbing him this week. Teh only problem is I would have to get rid of McDonald but he has cooled of considerabley lately.

 

[shakeybarn]

Some of us are in playoff-centric leagues.... and could care less if he comes back Week 16. The question is... DOES he come back. Sounds like he does.

If Glenn was going to be on the IR he would be there already. He'll be back this year - just don't know when.(Dallas homer)

 

[Statler & Waldorf]

I like Henry more as well. I think Cinci is going to try to get him involved his first game back. PPR, I might lean towards Glenn possibly if I KNEW for a fact that he was coming back very soon. With the two surgeries on his knee I'm very wary of that happening, at least at full capacity.
