Andre Johnson..will he live up to his preseason rank?

[Cornbread Maxwell]

The original question is whether or not AJ will earn his draft price - and the obvious answer is no..

Not to burst your bubble, or to knock your answer but... that was not the orignal question.

Is Johnson a buy low candidate or a season long wash?

That was the question...and the answer is YES he is a prime buy low candidate. If you can get for cheap do it, you didn't spend the high pick on him someone else did. If you can benefit from them giving up to early on guy who will be a solid#2 WR go for it...

and if he does bust, are you really going to care if you spent nothing to get him? hell no, so why not give a chance to a guy who could be a stud by the years end.

hey now - my bubble never gets burst!

check out the thread title.

LOL, this from the guy that just stole Jordan/AJ IMO.

I do think that he is definitely a great buy low candidate. I just don't think they are going to toil in the duldrums all season long. Carr and AJ should get it going in the not too distant future although I do think that the CINN defense will be a bit too much for them this week.

I have Andre Johnson and have good enough receivers that I dont have to start him and I am still looking to sell on this guy. You have to go back to last season week 13 to find his last 100+ yard game with a TD. He had one game since then that he got a TD, but did not break 50 yards in any of them. So that is 6 games with no TD and maybe 300 yards total....ie SUCK!!

I think the real test will be when Houston faces a team that isn't so dominant on defense. Then, with Carr getting a little more breathing room, we can see how he passes. If he passes well AJ will be the WR2 people are hoping for, with matchups to be heavily considered. If he doesn't pass well then AJ will probably end up no better than the sporadic big games of players like Galloway or Stokley. Just gotta see..

The problem is that he was drafted as a #1 by far too many people. He was ranked in the top 10 by the majority of people - therefore that makes him a #1 fantasy wr according to preseason rankings.

Ahhhh yes, you're right. Myself included, too. Well, maybe I should've changed "people are hoping for" to "people will mercifully have to just settle for".
