Description: Houston wideout Andre Johnson caught seven of his 10 targets for 97 yards Sunday against Minnesota. | Insight: Quarterback Matt Schaub did not have a big day but most of his 178 passing yards went Johnson's way. Johnson has 1,457 yards, the third highest total of his career, with one game remaining. | | |
| 12/16/2012 7:04:00 PM |

He corralled 11 receptions for 151 yards as the Texans held on for the 29-17 victory. | Insight: It hasn't been a big touchdown year for Johnson but Sunday he was able to nab one for his fourth score of the season. Johnson's 1,360 receiving yards this year are his most since 2009 (1,569). | | |

Description: Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson enjoyed his second overtime period in four days Thursday against the Lions. Johnson caught nine balls for 188 yards on 15 targets in another Houston victory. | Insight: Johnson has exploded the last two weeks for 461 yards, 43.6 percent of his yardage total for the season (1,058). It's doubtful any of the secondaries he faces in the next three games (Tennessee, New England, Indianapolis) will be able to stop him. | | |
| 11/18/2012 7:00:00 PM |
Description: Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson delivered a receiving performance for the ages Sunday in a win against Jacksonville. He brought in 14 catches for a career-high 273 yards. | Insight: His last catch went for a 48-yard touchdown and sealed the win for Houston in overtime. While it would be silly to expect Johnson to have another week like this, it's certainly good to see that the veteran get back on track. | | |

Description: Houston wideout Andre Johnson grabbed eight balls for 118 yards Sunday in a win against the Bills. | Insight: Sunday was Johnson's first 100-yard effort since Week 1 when he went off for 119 yards against Miami. The Texans' next game will be Sunday against the Bears. | | |
| 10/11/2012 6:18:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson (groin) fully practiced Thursday. | Insight: Johnson caught just one ball Monday against the Jets. His fantasy value has been greatly hampered by Houston's conservative play-calling -- the Texans are second in the NFL in rushing attempts with 183 and 62.8 percent of Matt Schaub's 97 completions have gone to backs or tight ends. | | |
| 10/6/2012 8:24:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson (groin) is probable for Monday's game against the Jets. | Insight: Johnson was limited some in practice this week but he was a full go Saturday and is no threat to miss Monday's game. Start him as usual, especially with shutdown cornerback Darrelle Revis out. | | |
| 9/28/2012 2:52:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice after missing Wednesday. | Insight: Wednesday is usually an off day or limited for Johnson as the team tries to keep him healthy, but Thursday's limited practice was not expected. We still think he'll play and have a big game against Tennessee. | | |
| 9/22/2012 2:32:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson said something fantasy owners never want to hear: "I don't really care about stats. When you're a young player in this league, you tend to worry about that. Going through all the injuries and things I've been through over the last year, my big thing is just winning." | Insight: While we admire Johnson's selflessness, we'd prefer it if he demanded the ball more for fantasy purposes. The Texans are certainly a run-first offense but they won't be able to hand the ball off 46 times every week like they did against the Jaguars in Week 2 so we expect Johnson to put up his usual stats most of the time. | | |
| 9/16/2012 5:05:00 PM |
Description: Houston's conservative approach hurt Andre Johnson in Week 2 as he caught just three balls for 21 yards. | Insight: Houston didn't need to take any risks against Jacksonville Sunday. The Texans ran the ball 48 times in the game and even though Matt Schaub threw it 35 times 20 of his 26 completions went to running backs or tight ends. | | |
| 9/9/2012 4:21:00 PM |
Description: In Week 1, Texans receiver Andre Johnson proved why he'll be a top-five fantasy receiver if he can just stay on the field. Johnson caught eight balls for 119 yards and a touchdown. | Insight: The Texans are a run-first offense but that doesn't inhibit Johnson's fantasy value. As long as he plays 16 games, you can pencil in 95 catches, 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns. | | |
| 9/5/2012 5:08:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson fully participated in practice Wednesday and is 100 percent to start the year. | Insight: Johnson had a minor groin injury early in camp and he also had the wind knocked out of him in the third preseason game. Johnson's top-five upside makes him a worthwhile risk in spite of his injury history. | | |
| 8/18/2012 10:48:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson looks healthy and ready to go for the start of the regular season. | Insight: Johnson caught two passes in Houston's preseason game Saturday against San Francisco, but one was a 43-yarder. Johnson will be a steal as the fourth wideout off the board (fantasyfootballcalculator.com ADP: 3.01) if he can stay healthy. | | |
| 8/11/2012 7:01:00 PM |
Description: Texans receiver Andre Johnson will not be available for Saturday night's game versus the 49ers. He's out with an injured groin. | Insight: If this were the regular season Johnson would probably be out there but since this is just a meaningless exhibition, head coach Gary Kubiak has chosen to play it safe by resting his All-Pro wide receiver. | | |
| 8/6/2012 11:03:00 AM |

SOURCE: NFL Network | Insight: He's played just 20 of a possible 32 games over the past two seasons after going two years without missing a game. As always he'll be a high-risk late-second or early third-round selection, but if healthy is a 1,200-yard plus receiver. | | |
| 8/3/2012 12:08:00 PM |

Description: Houston Texans star wide receiver Andre Johnson was running again on Wednesday, according to Nick Scurfield of HoustonTexans.com. It's been about a week since he injured his groin. | Insight: The groin injury was never thought to be serious, but it's never a good sign when an injury-prone player like Johnson is already getting hurt. He's played just 20 of a possible 32 games over the past two seasons after going two years without missing a game. As always he'll be a high-risk late-second or early third-round selection. | | |

Description: Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson will miss a week of training camp with a "mild" groin strain, according to the Houston Chronicle. | Insight: The ailment is not considered serious but it's not a good sign that the injury-prone Johnson is already dinged up considering he is coming off knee surgery. | | |

Description: Texans quarterback Matt Schaub said teammate Andre Johnson is fully recovered from the arthroscopic knee surgery he had in early May, according to the Houston Chronicle. | Insight: Johnson has been working out with Schaub at the University of Houston after missing offseason practices.

The receiver has been back out on the field with Schaub and should be good to go once training camp starts. | | |
