Texas-sized headache: Johnson out vs. Colts

They had all the momentum they needed to face the world champions--a come from behind win against a quality team, a QB who many thought would be decimated after two games shining, and of course--their all-world receiver Andre Johnson performing as usual. It all seemed to be falling into place.

The only thing falling now are the Houston Texans' hopes.

Why? Johnson ruled out playing against Indianapolis this week as he recovers from a sprained knee. Asked Wednesday if there was any chance he could play against the Colts, Johnson said: "No. I mean as it looks right now, you look at me right now, no I wouldn't be out there on Sunday." Johnson had seven catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns Sunday. His 262 yards receiving in the first two games rank fourth in the NFL.

What does this mean fantasy-wise? With a defense that has looked solid thus far, the Colts will be bum-rushing QB Matt Schaub and the running game like mad. Basically, downgrade everyone on the Texans for this week. It won't be pretty.
