Houston Texans: Fantasy Juggernaut and Fantasy Sleeper

Tim from Battle Red Blog:

I know, I know...who do the Texans have that could possibly be worth a damn for fantasy purposes? Two words, my friends: Ahman. Green.

I jest. I wouldn't draft Ahman Green if my life depended on it. And neither should you. He probably just broke a nail while reading this; that'll keep him out ten (10) weeks, easy. But down to business. The best fantasy option on Houston's roster is:

Star-divide

Andre Johnson (WR): You knew I was going here. For my money, 'Dre is one of the top three (3) WRs in the league, if not the best WR in the NFL. Yes, he missed seven (7) weeks last year with a knee sprain, but he's no injury risk; that's the first time he's missed any real time since he was drafted. And don't underestimate how many balls are heading his way; before last year's injury and after he returned, Andre Johnson was Matt Schaub's favorite target. The Texans haven't shown any ability to consistently run the ball, so you know they're taking to the air early and often this season. Bottom line: Expect a ton of yards and a ton of TDs from Andre Johnson. He's a legitimate No. 1 WR on any fantasy roster.

And my fantasy sleeper from the Houston Texans is:

Matt Schaub (QB): Last season's numbers aren't spectacular; I'll give you that, though that was wholly due to some missed games due to cheap shots (I'll always hate you, Drayton Florence). I fully expect, however, that The Schaub is going to stay upright and productive all year. Pencil him in for 3,500 yards and 20+ TDs. Even better, you should be able to pick him up after most of the alleged surefire fantasy QBs are off the board. I promise you he won't let you down. Well, he better not, because I took my own advice and drafted him last weekend. God, I'm a homer.

Schaub

I had him last season and had to juggle between him and Eli. He is a very good #2 QB for fantasy. How big is the threat from former Miami Dolphin, Sage Rosenthal?

Virtually Nonexistent

Barring injury, Schaub is THE guy. There will be no QB controversy…unless Schaub goes down.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Nice sleeper

Really out on a long thin limb there. Try something a little risky, y’know, somebody like…Steve Slaton.

With All Due Respect

Scott’s quite the fantasy guru when it comes to sleepers. Name me one other person who’d take Reggie Williams in Round 8. Even Reggie Williams’ mother thinks that was a reach.
