Despite a lengthy injury report this week, the #Texans came out relatively unscathed. Both Andre Johnson & Arian Foster are slated to play
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 5, 2014 Despite him maybe not being 100 percent, the Cowboys aren’t going to be able to completely shut down a player like Johnson. However, Johnson hasn’t performed to his usual standards. Through four games, he has 22 catches for 262 yards and zero touchdowns.
Fantasy impact: Most wide receivers are great options against the Cowboys, especially Andre Johnson. That said, there's still the concern that Johnson has yet to find the end zone and fellow receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been out-playing him through the first quarter of the season. In addition, Johnson may not be completely healthy as he takes the field. He shouldn't disappoint in PPR leagues, as Johnson is still seeing at least seven targets per game. However, he's a risky WR2 option in standard leagues. Plug in Johnson if needed, but don't expect flashy numbers, despite the soft match up.
