Andre Johnson’s ankle injury shouldn’t be a concern to fantasy owners

Andre Johnson was limited in Wednesday’s practice. We break down the fantasy implications.

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson was limited in Wednesday's practice. He's been on the injury report for the past couple weeks with his ankle issue and it's not expected to affect him against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

He still hasn't scored this season, which has been a major problem since the 2011 season. Johnson has just 16 catches for 191 yards and his longest catch is just 23 yards on the season. He still leads the team with his 27 targets, but second-year receiver DeAndre Hopkins has more yards (227) and touchdowns (two).

Fantasy impact: There’s no need to worry about Johnson and he’s been very durable in the past few seasons. The Bills have improved on defense this season, but the wind helped them out last week against the San Diego Chargers while they haven’t been completely tested yet in the first two weeks. On paper their corners are undersized and they had a propensity to get burned last year, so there is a big chance for Johnson here. He’s a must-start option.
