Temper them?

Ever so slightly. Henderson will be getting some very meaningful touches. He's a big play waiting to happen. Rhamondre is an early down slug 

Henderson will certainly dominate the targets.

Henderson needs to score on long runs/receptions because Stevenson will get the majority of goal line carries.  This is assuming Stevenson doesn't aggravate that toe injury.  Something to watch.

Either you start him or you don't, tempering expectations is irrelevant...

I don't believe that at all. Just 5 receptions for 50 yards and you got 10 points. That's a decent flex spot for most 12 team leagues. And that's not even the rushing upside. 

If I curb expectations I'm still expecting 10 carries for 40 yards and 4 receptions for 40.and a TD. 

Something in that range. Even if Rhamondre scores he's probably not going for over 50 yards. His yards per touch is horrible.

Vrabel will want to grind the Bengals down with the run so might not be throwing as much as you would need for Henderson to get 5 catches. Full disclosure I am a Henderson owner as well.   So, I hope Stevenson is ineffective and Henderson gets the majority of the touches, but you know Vrabel is going to give Stevenson a chance to show he is fully recovered.

I have enjoyed the Henderson run as many have.  I think he gets slowed a bit with Stephenson today.  Emanuel will run for me today with Jacobs now out.

Rhamondre's 3.4 YPC won't cut it

It's the Bengals.  Arguably the worst defense in the NFL.  But hey, if Stevenson can't get it done against the Bengals all the better for Hendy moving forward.

But why do think he's play Rhamondre over Henderson who's a Ferrari? They aren't better with Rhamondre. 

I see what you're saying but how does that make sense?

How does Vrabel starting Jennings over Hendy make sense.  But it's what he did.  And if Jennings didn't get injured who knows what would have happened.  And Vrabel still going with Stevenson after all the fumbling.  It shouldn't have taken all these injuries for Henderson to get his chance but that what happened.

Right now Henderson has 4 carries. The rest of the team zero.

Awesome.  Give him all the carries.  Need him to go off having him and Sean Tucker as my starting RBs with Jacobs inactive.

Vrabel is a fkn clown. Hope Cincy spanks them.
