Andre Johnson Injury
The Texans are saying Andre Johnson is unlikely to play this week against the Colts, but don't forget that it's only Monday. As we saw last week, things can change a few times in the span of a week.
Gary Kubiak on the matter:
He has a knee sprain. That's the good news and the bad news. We feel fortunate. Andre is going to be fine. Is he going to be fine in one week? Or is he going to be fine in four weeks? We're still in the evaluation stage. We don't know.
As someone who is enjoying AJ's season very much in our NBCSports.com league, this news stings. But it's even worse for the Texans, who will have to find a way to get their other wideouts involved. Jacoby Jones is the second leading wide receiver with 33 yards on two catches. He would be a better option in fantasy leagues with AJ out, although not a great one.
Owen Daniels is the player who should benefit the most. He had five catches on seven targets against Carolina. Those numbers could rise as long as Johnson is out.
Comments
Ouch - he was carrying my team. If he's out, can I make it w/Boldin, Crotch (who I should have started this week over Megatron per your rankings), Megatron and Curry? If so, which three start? Boldin @ BALT, Crotch v. MIA, Curry v. CLE and Megatron @ PHI? Or do I pick someone like Jacoby Jones up?

Indy defense looks good if Andre doesn't play.

Man this really hurts my team!!! AJ was caring my team and now I will probably be without him. I am a Texans fan and really don't think they have a chance to beat the Colts if AJ is not on the field. He really is their only playmaker on offense.

Not to worry AJ owners... if Chris Mortensen is reporting this news I'm pretty sure he'll start this week.
