It was too much to make accompanying write ups with these rankings, but here they (finally) are.

    Yikes, seems like you’re kind of down on Houshmandzadeh this year, eh? Are you forecasting bad things for Cincy in general, is it something specific about his health or situation this year, or do you just see him as a bit overrated? I actually went after him this year in a couple of leagues, knowing that the Moss/Owens/Edwards/Wayne/Fitzgerald quintet would all be gone (which they were) before I got my second pick in. I viewed him as being very consistent with room for improvement, and looked at the contract year factor as being a cherry on top, but I’m wondering if I should be having second thoughts now….

    I feel like Housh has gone from underrated to overrated. Just realize that last year was his absolute ceiling. He led the NFL in targets, but turned that into just 1,143 yards b/c he’s nothing more than a possession receiver. Guys like Justin Gage and Brandon Stokley had more catches for 20-plus yards. Over the last six games last year, he had one TD. He’s also a bit injury-prone, including this preseason.

    Now don’t get me wrong, there’s also plenty to like – always among league leaders in red zone/goal line targets, so he is a nice bet to score double digits again. I’d also move him up in PPR leagues. Housh is in a good situation – Palmer at QB, bad defense, etc. Adding C. Henry into the mix won’t help, but then again, Chad Ocho Cinco could go down at any minute, which would probably help.
