Texans running back Duke Johnson Jr. is unlikely to play in the team's Week 2 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens due to an ankle injury, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson had been listed as questionable, and head coach Bill O'Brien said that he was "trending in the right direction," so it's a bit of a surprise to hear that he is unlikely to play. With the Texans and Ravens having a 4:25 pm ET kickoff on Sunday, fantasy owners will likely have to make a lineup decision before knowing his official status. At this point, Johnson owners are better off leaving him on the bench and going in a different direction.
