Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson still hasn't scored this season, and he's only sitting at 320 receiving yards on 27 catches in five games. He has been dealing with an ankle injury since last month, but he seems to be improving. Johnson has been limited in practice this week, and might not be at 100 percent against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Andre Johnson
Andre Johnson hasn’t quite performed as expected. Should fantasy owners consider shifting him to their bench this week?

The Colts have actually done a fantastic job against receivers as the third-toughest defense for fantasy wideouts so far this season. They haven't been allowing big plays, and didn't allow any touchdowns to receivers against the Baltimore Ravens last week. While most of this sounds bad, Johnson had the biggest game of his career the last time the Texans hosted the Colts. He had 229 receiving yards and three scores on nine catches.
Fantasy impact: That last game at home against the Colts is just too much to ignore. Fantasy owners should start him as a high-end WR2 in most formats.
