Andre Johnson is active for Week 6 fantasy action
Andre Johnson is active for Week 6 against the Colts. We break down the fantasy implications.

Johnson has missed a lot of practice and has dealt with his balky ankle for much of the season. The training staff has monitored him for much of the season, and he’s been re-taped during some game action, which has cost him a few possessions. The former All-Pro receiver may be at less than 100 percent, but it’s not expected to limit his snaps in a huge divisional matchup.
While Johnson has yet to explode this season and has zero scores, he had tremendous success against the Colts the last time they were in Houston. The Colts allowed him to post a line of nine catches, 229 receiving yards and three scores.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners should have him in their lineups despite the short week and missing practice. He’s a high-end WR2 in PPR leagues.
