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.
