In response to what johnpax had to say...
Andre Johnson is a top talent at WR in the National Football League, he's not "o-v-e-r-a-t-e-d." There's a reason why so many people expect him to produce big numbers...because he is only a decent O-Line away from becoming one of the most dangerous receivers in the game.
To say that Lelie is a better deep threat than Andre Johnson is pure ignorance. The Denver offensive line is arguably one of the best in the game. Did you consider the fact that David Carr never has enough time to wait for Andre's deep-routes to develop, thus eliminating possibilities for Johsnon to make deep catches? Do you know the former O.C. of Denver, Gary Kubiak, is now Houston's H.C., which definitely won't hurt. By the way, his 489 yards after the catch were 2nd best among NFL receivers. And despite playing on a run-first offense, he ranked among the league leaders in receptions over 25 yards with 13.
I agree with you that every year he's been projected to be a fantasy stud and it never quite panned out. And, yes, he has been selected too high in fantasy drafts for the last 2 years, but, honestly dude, the guy is the real deal.
You're skeptical of him and that's cool because everyone has their own opinion, but your post was clearly written as if someone who'd buy into A.J. this year is an idiot and that's just not the case.
