Just a day after sustaining a broken forearm in Sunday's victory over the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati deep threat Chris Henry's season is over .

Henry provided a spark with play-making ability, but with just 11 receptions on the season, was never actually a huge part of the Bengals offense.

Since Cincinnati has been relatively a run-first team with Cedric Benson being so successful in his second year with the team, the loss of Henry won't have as big an impact as many would believe.

Fantasy Perspective: There's no doubt that Henry's talent and play-making ability will be missed, but to assume it's a big blow to this Bengals offense would be incorrect.

With him out of the offense, however, Carson Palmer will look to Laveranues Coles and Andre Caldwell to step up, but neither player's value should increase enough to send you out after them on the waiver wire just yet.
