Just like to let the board know I'm rolling with Henne for my fantasy playoffs!

[Astrosback]

Not many owners are starting Henne even in 12 team leagues like mine.

Granted I drafted badly at QB (Cutler and Ryan) and there's not too much to choose from on the waiver wire.

But I like Henne to at least be able to average 200 yards and a TD for these next 3 weeks @ JAX, @ TEN and vs. HOU (fantasy playoff weeks 14, 15, 16).

Fasano is now healthy and playing more like he did last year. Bess is playing up to his full potential and Hartline looks like a seasoned vet. Camarillo is getting closer and closer to last year's form and Ginn is okay as a WR4.

Our OL is as good as it gets so Henne has plenty of time to find the open man. And of course Ricky and Polite are no slouches in the receiving game.

I'll be pissed if Henne loses a GL TD to a wildcat play with Pat White, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

JAX, TEN and HOU can all be passed on and all 3 of them should give us good games. They all have enough on offense to score on our defense and keep Henne and the Phins forced to pass to win.

The rest of my fantasy team is solid. I just need Henne to bring it home for me. Let's-go-Henne...Let's-go-Henne!!!

sorry bro.. I have romo (who actually is tearing it up), rivers and brees.. no way I bench any of them for Henne.. Maybe next year.

I have Davone Bess and Ricky on my team. I'm glad I got the playoff bye this week...Ben would have gotten me nothing this week.

if you count sacks as a minus he would have killed you

I love Henne but im starting Rivers. lol. I will admit though that I do have him on backup. :)

 

[Astrosback]

Believe me. I don't have options like Rivers/Brees/Romo.

I have Cutler, Flacco and picked up Vince Young who's now probable with a knee injury. Traded away Ryan who is hurt now anyway.

There's not much out there on the wire (Gradkowski, Quinn, Fitzpatrick) and rosters are locked now anyway.

I chose Henne b/c I like his chances to produce behind one of the NFL's best OLs and decent WR and TE groups.

I'm a homer so this could be a crazy move but Henne does have a chance to finish better than my other options. Cutler and Flacco have been awful and VY is banged up (risk to get knocked out of a game). Henne is healthy and Bess/Fasano/Hartline look solid now as starters. Camarillo is solid as the WR3 and Ginn is even okay as the #4.

We're gonna have to throw to win games. It can't all come from Ricky. And Pat White and the wildcat isn't gonna do it. Henne will have to have big games if we're gonna make the playoffs.

Its kinda funny though that in all of my leauges Chad Henne has been picked up and not just by me. But Dirty Sanchez has been a free agent all year. lol. aaaah feels good.

I'm lucky we don't count that. We have fumbles though which he's coughed up a few.

I'm starting BESS for my fantasy playoffs over houshmandzadeh...it's a PPR league and I'm playing the #1 seed in our league, need him to come up BIG!!!

 

[finnns2000]

Henne is my backup in case Schaub goes down. He had a great fantasy game last week.

 

[overworkedirish]

I'm glad SOMEbody made the playoffs... f*ckin' Reggie Wayne not putting up points the last 2 weeks... I was 10 points from the playoff spot in Week 13. D*mn Aaron Rodgers.

I think Bess will have a lot of catches and maybe 100 yards. The TD might be more likely to go to Fasano or Hartline but Bess will get the most targets for sure.

I think Henning is going to come out with a creative passing attack for JAX. JAX has been worse against the pass than the run and that was before JAX lost their best CB Rashean Mahthis.

Henne should get 225 and 1 or 2 TDs. Bess should get 100 yards.

Good luck with that bud. :)

Oh I'm gonna needs lots of luck!

Based on my potential playoff opponents, Henne will be matching up against the likes of Brady, Rivers, Warner, Favre or Palmer.

Obviously I'm probably going to need to outscore my opponents at every other position but don't get me wrong....

I didn't just pick up Henne b/c I'm a homer.

I actually really like Henne. I've been very impressed with his pocket poise, his arm strength and his calm and tough vibe (kind of the anti-Beck).

I LOVE that Henne will have plenty of time to find an open receiver b/c our OL is awesome. As a former Cutler owner, I can tell you that a crap OL like the Bears have can make even talented QBs look awful.

Henne has missed some possible plays here and there by getting a little too excited and missing open receivers with over throws but I think he'll have the game "slow down" for him just a little more each week over these final weeks.

Bottom line is we're in the playoff race. Ricky alone can't get us there. Sparano is getting fed up with the wildcat/wildpat. Henne will absolutely have to toss the rock around for us to win. And the way Bess/Hartline/Fasano/Camarillo are playing right now, why wouldn't they let Henne open things up?!?!

Go Henne!

And as much as I've been one of many to rip Ginn for his soft play and bad hands, he will be rotated in as a sneaky WR4 in our offense and I wouldn't be shocked to see him get past a defense on a fly pattern for a long TD before this season is over.
