Random fantasy notes

*Bengals WR Chris Henry has been activated this week and faces a decent match-up against Baltimore next week. Usually games against Baltimore aren’t considered decent match-ups, but I’m watching Big Ben dismantle the Ravens who are without their top two cornerbacks. It’s tough to tell how much rust Henry will have, but I promise he will be a great WR2 option on your team well before the fantasy playoffs start. Hopefully you took my repeated advice and picked him up a few weeks back.

*All the talk about Broncos running back Travis Henry suggests his pending suspension is becoming less of an issue and some even suggest Henry may not miss a game this season if he and his legal team continue to stall. However, nobody seems to be asking the following question: If the Broncos season ends up in the toilet (some would argue it’s there now), would it not be in the team’s best interest to eat the suspension now and gear up for next season?

*Brandon Jackson has ticked off many fantasy owners who drafted him with the idea that he would be a starting back. Jackson should be a free agent in every league on the planet, but I say don’t count him out yet. Wynn is out of the picture, Morency is a third down back and Grant hasn’t proved to me that he can take a 20-carry pounding each week. He may not be worth a spot on your roster yet, but monitor Jackson’s carries each week and be ready to pull the trigger.
