I like Chris Henry, but I don't see him taking over #2 anytime soon. IMO he has more skills than Housh, but Carson and Housh are so in sync right now. It'll be a while before Carson and Chris get to that point where they know exactly where the other will be at any given time.
Washington is a lazy bum who is working his way out of the Cincy roster. I swear - everytime I go to a game, on every single play, if he doesn't break away from his defender in the first two seconds of the play, he stops. He just stops moving, and doesn't even try to get open, even if the QB is scrambling for ten seconds looking for an open man. He makes me SO mad.
But I digress.
If, and only if, you're in a dynasty league is Henry worth a spot this year. But keep his name in the back of your mind for a couple years down the road. He'll be a beast eventually.

I thought about that some too but ultimately decided to take the plunge and see. As Kensat said, he has first rd. talent, it was his attitude that held him out of the 1st rd. I would think that down the road they may move Housh or he if the need arose. Housh is playing at a different level than even last year right now so for the near term he will be hard to beat out.
I like simple pleasures, like butter in my ass, lollipops in my mouth. That's just me.

i agree. but i believe that the #3 wr will have a very important role as the season progresses. what's more, i see henry and housh flip-flopping roles quite a bit once we get to midseason. bratkowski has been getting crafty up in that booth, and with so many on his offense familiar with his approach, he'll only get craftier. that's when henry will really take off. for now, he sleeps. walter's got guts where washington's got some talent, but neither matches henry. this season will bear that out.
One more thing to think about with this is that TJs contract was very front-loaded, which you dont see often. If Henry turns out to be a true talent, trading or cutting TJ wont hurt us very much.

confused. if TJ's contract is front-loaded, wouldn't the bengals be more motivated to hold on to him in his "cheaper" years?

b
Yes he would be cheaper, but how many times have we seen teams hold on to players too long simply b/c it would cost them a ton of money in guarantees to cut him. If TJ doesnt perform well, we dont have to keep him is all im saying
you kind of get the feeling washington's bowing out, to a certain extent-- in his language, anyway. henry might not be active (questionable for this weekend with some foot injury), but read the short article. adds fuel to the flame.
