Considering he has only played for 3 seasons I think your comments are a little harsh. I'll bet you had him on your roster last season expecting WR1 numbers from him and now your a little bitter. He had a decent rookie season with just under 1000 yds and 4 td's (that is not bad for a rookie WR. His Sophmore season was solid with 1142 yds and 6 td's.How many unproductive seasons will it take for people to stop drafting this guy in the first 5 rounds?Andre Johnson. :(
Last season startd slow and Johnson was injured on the 2nd play of the game in week 5. He missed the next 4 weeks but put up pretty good the rest of the season, despite obviously not being 100%. I believe he was on the injury report all year. He was a top 10 receiver over the last 7 games of the season (PPR) averaging 14.34 PPG. His OL and QB sucked last year and every year he has been there for that matter, which has resulted diminished TD's not just for him but the whole team.
I think you will see 75-80 receptions, 1100-1200 yeard and 6-8 TD's from Johnson this season. That should qualify him as a viable WR1 or a top WR2. I don't necessarily think a 5th rounder would be that much of a stretch for AJ.

Yes, he was basically injured for the first 7 weeks of his 3rd year, but he was still decent for the last 9 weeks. Pro-rated for 16 games, his stats would have put him right around the early 20s, which isn't bad for as anemic as that passing game was. He was definitely overvalued last year, but people like young guys and Houston looked like they were going to be good.
All I can say is that 145 receptions, 2118 yards and 10 TDs is quite an accomplishment in the first 2 years of a WR's career and anyone that says different doesn't realize that Randy Moss', Anquan Boldin's and Michael Clayton's rookie years are exceptions.
