Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is officially listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts. He's expected to play despite missing the whole week of practice.

Johnson has been dealing with a nagging ankle injury, but has yet to miss a game. Through five games, he has 27 catches for 320 yards. Johnson has been consistent (only one game below 50 yards), but hasn’t had a truly breakout week yet. He still doesn’t have a touchdown and hasn’t reached 90 receiving yards since the season opener.
Fantasy impact: The ankle injury and general volatility of Thursday night matchups make Johnson a risky bet for fantasy owners this week. He still has a high floor, but Johnson's ceiling may be capped at the WR2 level. Arian Foster is listed as probable and the Texans could continue leaning on their running game this week. Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins both have limited upside with Ryan Fitzpatrick under center.
