Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson (ankle) did not practice Friday, Oct. 3, and is questionable for Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. He may have aggravated his injury during the week.

Footballguys email suggests he may have aggravated his injury and might not play...because he did not practice Friday.
Rotoworld sounds more confident...
Andre Johnson (ankle) was held out of Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys.
The expectation all week has been that Johnson will play, and there have been no indications otherwise. Johnson has spoken on the topic, calling himself "fine." Keep an eye on the situation into Sunday morning, but we'd have Johnson penciled into fantasy lineups as a WR2. Although he's yet to score a TD this year, Johnson is on pace for 88 catches and over 1,000 yards. The Houston Chronicle's John McClain tweeted Friday that he "expect(s) Johnson to play."

Texans coach Bill O'Brien expects Andre Johnson (questionable, ankle) to play in Week 5 against the Cowboys.
Johnson was held out of practice Friday, but declared himself "fine" earlier in the week. Barring a setback, he should start against Dallas. Johnson is Rotoworld's the No. 22 receiver this week.
I'm hoping he can go. Was hoping this was the week he puts it together and pulls in a TD.

As my friends have said for years: he has no nose for the end zone.
Are you guys confident playing him? I don't see him as anything more than a flex right now and am highly considering benching him for players such as golden rate, Brian quick, and Fred Jackson.
If he does go off I think we should be trying to sell high. As many have stated, no nose for end zone

Had quick in over him with the news of being questionable. Feel good about it so in be stays..
Not directed at you, but more of a general question. Who drafted AJ expected a lot of TDs? He has 11 total TDs scored in the last 42 games, and those TDs were scored in 8 distinct games. That means he scores, on average, once every 5 games. I selected him (as my WR3) hoping for 10 targets a game and a healthy does of yardage. Right now, he's tracking below that (8.5 targets), but I'm not unhappy with the production. A TD is icing on the cake for a guy averaging 6/65 each week. So, yes, he's squarely in flex territory right now, but I'd be looking to trade for him, since I consider his value rather low.
I believe he was mostly drafted for the receptions, but with the increasing emergence of Hopkins, he's become td dependent
td dependant? LOL, no. Please go look at his catches and yards from each game this year. i'll take that from a wr2/3 any day. Hes always hobbled and always produces, but not td's.
This is a very fair point. He's currently on a pace similar to 2004, where he finished with 138 targets, 80 catches for 1150 yards and 6 TDs. Those #s would have slotted him in around 20th in WR rankings last year. Still a low-end WR2 and very high end WR3. I'm actually thinking 6 TDs may even be on the ceiling for this year.TeeDub said:

Sitting for me in lieu of Calvin, E Sanders, and Cruz. I have a feeling he has a good game, though.

What does GTD mean?

This guy aged real fast. Even if he starts, he will probably end up with 5 receptions for 65 yards no TD. I think this is his last year before he retires.

Wasn't the home game against the Colts last year when Andre went off for three first-half TDs?
LargeMouthBass
Footballguy
Yes but that was when Case Keenum chucked the ball to Andre Johnson whenever Houston had possession though. I'm predicting completely different outcome this year.
Haha, guppies said the same thing last year. The Texans rank dead last in passing attempts per game and only the Jets and Vikings have less passing TDs. It's hard for a WR to score points when your team isn't passing. He's also clearly drawing all the coverage.

He's on my bench. Have Antonio (no brainier), Quick and ODB starting over him. At least those guys have a chance at grabbing a TD.

I hope. To add, doesn't AJ usually light up the colts?

I have both andre and Hopkins; having a tough time figuring out which one to play as my flex. (Mike Wallace & Emmanuel Sanders are my two starters)
Anyone have any insight?

The Texans move Johnson and Hopkins around plenty, but on paper Hopkins' matchup sets up slightly better. The sophomore breakout receiver runs most of his routes at left corners, where burnable Colts LCB Greg Toler roams. Toler has a bottom-six coverage grade among 102 qualifying NFL cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus. I don't think Toler has been quite as bad as that number suggests, but he most certainly presents a more favorable matchup than Davis. Hopkins has been sensational this season. He has at least 60 receiving yards and/or a touchdown in each of Houston's first five games, earning legitimate WR2 fantasy treatment.

[SIZE=14.4444446563721px]I'd settle for him not being 33 years old, losing his skills, and being the WR2 on his own team. My chances of getting that are the same as his reaching his stats in the first Indy game.[/SIZE]
