Wolverines Fan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I'm 5-2 and 5-2 in the leagues I own AJ, but I want him back like all of you. But here is what I'm thinking: Houston's next two games are at home against Jacksonville and Cleveland, and I think they can win both without him. Even if AJ is ready to return or close to it, I could see them sitting him for at least one more week. Just my two cents.

yo mama Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Ruh roh, a repeat of what happened in 2008 might be happening. And no, Andre didn't get hurt in 2008, that was 2007. 2008 was the last time Henry Muto didn't win a championship. (assuming all his leagues are in his sig, which probably isn't the case) Henry Muto wins every championship - he merely chooses to tell you about *some* of them.

Tastes Like More Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I'm 5-2 and 5-2 in the leagues I own AJ, but I want him back like all of you.

Even if AJ is ready to return or close to it, I could see them sitting him for at least one more week. Just my two cents. I think he goes this week. The Texans are only 4-3. If they can get a difference maker back that can help them win a few games, then I think they are going to do it. The Texans are 1-2 with him on the sidelines. If he is 70-80%, I believe he will go.

LvilleSlugger Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Yeah after JAX beat BAL last night, I think he will be a go if he's physically able. My only concern is his being used merely as a decoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern is his being used merely as a decoy. I was thinking the same thing when I read the post saying the Texans can beat Jags & Browns without him. I really don't think NFL teams think like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puz Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ive got colston to replace him, so im not so worried. I'd actually prefer him to sit out another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbpackersfan Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Im playing the owner of both Andre and Foster this week. I cant decide if I want Andre to play or not. Foster gets a bleep ton of receiving yards when Andre doesnt play. I would rather they just shared them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUMbotron Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Total Access on NFLN showed a chunk of Texans practice with the WRs catching lazy lob balls. AJ was sooooo tentative compared to Jacoby Jones' tempo. (I can't believe Kubiak is OK with that footage being shown, btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Per KFFL: Texans | Andre Johnson felt tugging in leg Wed, 26 Oct 2011 19:35:28 -0700 Updating a previous report, Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson (hamstring) said Wednesday, Oct. 26, that he felt some tugging in his leg during practice when trying to open up his stride. Johnson said cutting and route running did not bother him, however. "I wouldn't say I felt great (today)," Johnson said. "I didn't feel how I expected I would feel." Texans | More on Andre Johnson Wed, 26 Oct 2011 20:51:45 -0700 Updating a previous report, the Houston Texans think they will know Thursday, Oct. 27, whether WR Andre Johnson (hamstring) will be available to play in the Week 8 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars or not.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Flip a coin and even if it comes up right he could be on the sidelines in street clothes in 1 play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I think that could be because he is just getting back to practice. If he plays or not really depends on what he does in Thursdays practice IMO. Uhhh ya think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_news.php Houston Texans head coach Gary Kubiak said WR Andre Johnson (hamstring) probably will be a game-time decision for Week 8. Johnson practiced Thursday, Oct. 27. "I felt a lot better in practice," said Johnson, "but not where I want to be." Huddle Up: Johnson is one of the few players in the NFL where the final decision is totally up to him without pressure from coaches or management. In 2007 when Johnson hurt his knee it was supposed to three-to-five weeks. When the fifth week was up, Johnson had been teasing us with practices but ended up missing two more weeks and an additional bye week before returning vs. the Saints in Week 11.

buddahj Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I just traded VJax & Fitzpatrick for AJ & Bradford and part of me wants him to play & the other part wants him to wait another week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUMbotron Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_news.php Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson (hamstring) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 28, and head coach Gary Kubiak said Johnson will not play Week 8. Huddle Up: Surgically repaired hamstrings need more than three or four weeks, so no one should be shocked here. Jacoby Jones will start vs. the Jaguars. Johnson might have a good chance to play in Week 9, but now you have to worry about his recovery time being sandwiched into the Week 11 bye.

delfamdelfam Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 this is getting ridiculous, I need AJ back. 4-0 with him in my lineup, 1-2 without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 http://www.thehuddle.com/fantasy_football_news.php Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson estimated Friday, Oct. 28, that his hamstring is at 70-75 percent right now. 'Who wants to go out on the field and see a half-speed Andre Johnson?' Johnson said. 'That's not a good thing. You'll be out there hurting your team when you can have somebody out there who can go out there and give it all they got and make plays for you.' Huddle Up: Well, which is it Andre? He said "70-75 percent" and "half-speed" in the same breath. This is very disconcerting to hear for Johnson-owners, who were given the impression he was near 100 percent a few days ago. Furthermore, if Johnson doesn't play in Week 9 then it won't make sense for him to play in Week 10 right before the bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one injury is destroying my team and after going 4-0 I might not even make the playoffs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
