Fantasy News
After trading six draft picks, I’ve finally selected a player for the first time. (I also have Steven Jackson, but I traded for him after he was selected by another team). My player: WR Andre Johnson of the Texans. I believe he’s a safe bet to catch 90-plus passes and 8-9-10 TDs, making him a valuable commodity in this scoring system.
Johnson missed seven games last year, but I don’t consider him to be an injury risk. Looks like a very safe option in this scoring system. He averaged a league-high 95 receiving yards per game last year, with 8 TDs in nine games.
Had I not traded away pick 2.05 way back when, my pick would have been Reggie Wayne. I consider Johnson to be almost interchangeable with Wayne, and my doing a couple of trade downs, I’ve been able to change my late seventh-round pick into an early fifth-round pick. It should work out well.
