Andre Johnson Injury: Updates on Texans Star's Week 10 Status and Fantasy Value

Andre Johnson is getting close to returning to the field for the Texans. The star wide receiver has been sidelined for five straight weeks after suffering a bad hamstring injury.

Be sure to check this page as we'll update all pertinent injury news pertaining to Johnson throughout the week as the Texans prepare to take on the Buccaneers in Week 10.

UPDATE: Sunday, Nov. 13 at 12:20 p.m. EST

As expected, Andre Johnson is inactive today according to NFL.com.

UPDATE: Friday, Nov. 11 at 1:23 p.m. EST

Andre Johnson has been ruled out of Week 10 against Tampa Bay, according to Rotoworld's Staff.

"Texans coach Gary Kubiak ruled out Andre Johnson (hamstring) for Week 10 at his press conference Friday.'

UPDATE: Monday, Nov. 7, 5:30 p.m. EST

Things are looking promising for Johnson hitting the field this week. Johnson worked out on Monday and is being viewed as day-to-day.

While this news is promising, it is far from a guarantee. Hamstrings are tricky, and it is one injury where athletes cannot try to play through the pain, as they risk further injury.

Fantasy Impact

As soon as Johnson hits the field he should be inserted into starting fantasy lineups. As was mentioned above, he will not be back until he is 100 percent healthy.

And a 100 percent healthy Johnson is a very productive Johnson.

Andre's return will also boost the value of Matt Schaub. His fantasy numbers have slipped without his favorite target on the field.

Johnson's presence will lead to more pass attempts and touchdowns in the redzone for Schaub.
