Fantasy Outlook:

Why you should draft Andre Johnson: Last season, Johnson had four games (out of 9) where he eclipsed triple figures in receiving yards, and there were only two games that he played where he failed to score a touchdown. Furthermore, he also was only held under six receptions on one occasion.

Why you may want to stay away from drafting Andre Johnson:  Johnson has flirted with being an elite NFL receiver, but he still has yet to finish a season with double digit touchdowns.  In addition, Johnson has missed ten games over the last three seasons.

Bottom Line: In 2006, Johnson showed his potential by snagging 103 passes for a healthy 1147 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.  He should be viewed as a high risk, high reward, No.1 receiver in fantasy.
