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.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
