2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-19-2012 by Chris Weeks

Johnson had by far the worst season of his nine-year career in 2011, finishing with 33 receptions for 492 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. When on the field Johnson is a top-5 receiver, but his inability over the past two seasons to remain healthy is cause for concern. Fantasy owners can't have their stud receiver missing significant time due to injury - and there is no need for risk with so many viable high-end options this season. If it's all based on talent, Johnson will be one of the first five receivers taken in most fantasy drafts. Just keep in mind that he has not played a full season since 2009.

UPDATE (8-19): Back from a groin injury, Johnson hauled in two passes for 49 yards in the Texans preseason game against the 49ers. He snagged his only two targets with one turning into a 43-yard catch. Though currently a top-10 WR on the FFToolbox board, Johnson could move back to his usual top-5 rank sooner than later if he remains healthy.

2012 Mock Draft Results

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	2.03	Bleacher Report
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	2.06	FFToolbox.com (Ben) - There I was, sitting on deck,ready to select the top tight end in Rob Gronkowsk, a true difference maker even among a solid class of options. And then, poof, no more Gronk. Fine, I'll have to suffer with AJ, arguably the best WR when healthy. Hamstring concerns make Johnson a touch risky, but in PPR, it's a risk worth taking.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	2.06	2MugsFF.com - Return to form? That's the hope. RB value isn't there, I can wait on a QB.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	2.09	FFToday.com - A lot of different directions I could go here. WR-WR to start isn't at the top of people's strategies this year - more like a Plan C or D - but I like Andre Johnson quite a bit while I'm more even on the available RB. I'd rather wait at QB. I'm loath to leave that second stud TE for one of the guys who got a top 3 RB already, but c'est la vie. Short of getting Jimmy Graham, I'd rather wait at TE too.
