Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury that forced him out of practice this week, including the last one on Friday. Johnson has stated that he's "fine," and that he plans to play on Sunday, but the questionable designation is somewhat worrying.
Andre Johnson injury update: Texans WR questionable; should start for fantasy owners
Andre Johnson is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, but he’s expected to play. We break down the fantasy implications.

The questionable designation is supposed to denote a 50 percent chance to miss the game. Johnson’s chances would presumably be better than that as there has been little indication that he could actually miss the contest. Johnson has been solid this season even though he hasn’t managed to find the end zone.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners should keep an eye out early on Sunday for news, but unless they hear otherwise, Johnson is a must-start. He's one of the top receivers in the league and has been putting up the yardage thus far. Johnson has caught 22 passes for 262 yards, while DeAndre Hopkins has caught 18 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns. It's a weird sight to see Johnson not leading the Texans in receiving, but he's always worth a start in fantasy when he's going to play.
