Let's talk about Andre Johnson

He's never posted double digit TDs in his prime and this is his last chance at a Super Bowl where he'll be Luck's third option. He's still a solid flex.

I like him. I think he'll be a possession receiver in that offense, not really a deep threat like the Randy Moss comparison. Defenses are going to have to provide help over the top on Hilton.

He is younger and a better player than Reggie Wayne was in 2012 when he had 195 targets and caught 100+ balls for 1300 yards. Even last year, as dreadful as he was, he still had 112 targets.

I think you could be right about his TDs staying down, but it's a hard thing to predict, but I'm not buying that he is the 3rd option in this offense. If he stays healthy, he'll have the most targets and catches on this team.

I see him getting targets but mostly as a posession and red zone WR. Yards will be down but TDs will be up.

Nice WR2/Flex option

I'm thinking he has a Randy Moss with the Patriots type season

the 23 TD season? no


but somewhere between his next 2 years in NE, maybe.


69/1008/11
83/1264/13

I say 80-85 catches, 1050-1150yds, 9-11 TDs

Dwayne Allen

Allen and Fleener combined for 16 TDs last year (throw in another 2 by Doyle) . Combined, the TEs in Indy had 171 targets. Johnson hadn't caught 8 TDs since 2010. Allen is kind of a TD or nothing with about 50 targets and only more than 60 yards in one game.

While I may not agree that Allen will ge more targets than Andre Johnson, the TEs combined certainly will. If you get top 12 Wr numbers out of Andre Johnson you won the fantasy lottery.

And they lost a combined 184 targets from WR in the offseason. Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks.

Andre Johnson is on another level from them. He's the clear cut #2(or 1b, even) and will eat into Ty Hilton's targets. He's going to have a nice season. I like Moncrief too, but he's going to be the #3 guy.

I wouldnt be surprised. A bunch of dudes in that offense will eat. I think Johnson may be top to bottom the best WR Luck has had yet. His WR's have always been on the smaller side, he's going to like throwing to a bigger target like Johnson. I think Johnson sets a career high in TDs too.

both top 15? Nah.

I could see andre in the top 20, but inside the top 15 seems high

I'm not saying its not possible for a duo to do it, but take a gander at the WR list and tell me who he finishes over.
