Some say Andre Johnson has lost half-a-step

Jul 07, 2013

Some opponents suggest that Texans WR Andre Johnson has lost perhaps a half-step, and isn’t as explosive. Johnson had only four touchdown catches last season, his fewest since 2002 in a season in which he played at least nine games.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson started all 16 games last year, the first time since 2009, and finished with a career high 1,598 yards with 112 catches. But perhaps the purpose of the blurb is to mention the team is hoping first round pick WR DeAndre Hopkins eventually takes over as the team's WR1 down the road. We ranked Hopkins 46th among our WRs, but he has an ADP of the 11th round so he's getting some attention. We rank Johnson 10th among our WRs with an ADP of the third round.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Adam Schefter

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Mike Garafolo

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
