Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson was limited in practice once again on Thursday with an ankle injury. It's the same injury that kept him limited on Wendesday, but is not considered to be a major concern. Johnson is expected to be ready for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Andre Johnson being limited with minor ankle issue, will be ready for fantasy owners Sunday
The Texans are giving Andre Johnson rest in practice Thursday and he won’t miss Sunday’s game. We break down the fantasy implications.
Thomas B. Shea
The 33-year-old picked up where he left off from last season, grabbing six receptions for 93 yards in last week's win over Washington. He saw only nine targets with the Texans relying on Arian Foster and the defense to wear down Washington, but made the most of his looks.
Fantasy impact: Despite his “injury prone” label, Johnson hasn’t missed a single game since 2011. That shouldn’t change this week. Look for him to take advantage of a Raiders secondary that looks less than imposing on paper. The seemingly ageless Johnson is a good bet to eclipse 100 receptions for the third straight season. He has WR1 upside in Week 2.
