Danny Amendola Fantasy

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) has no injury designation and is good to go for Sunday's game against Arizona. Amendola has missed the last four games with a thigh injury but appears to be past the issue ahead of a matchup with a Cardinals defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts. The veteran produced a 5-34-1 line in Week 1 and could serve as an emergency bye week replacement for fantasy managers in a pinch. Just don't expect much upside from Amendola.

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday and appears set to return in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last four games. The veteran slot man had six catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in the first two games of the season, but it's still hard to put any fantasy faith in any of Houston's receivers not named Brandin Cooks, at least as long as rookie quarterback Davis Mills continues to start. Rookie receiver Nico Collins (foot) landed on the injury report with a limited practice on Thursday. The 22-year-old has already missed three games this year with a shoulder injury, but he caught four of his six targets for 44 yards in his return last week. Amendola's likely return this Sunday makes Collins harder to get behind as a deep-league flex, but Collins is the more interesting upside option for the rest of the season than Amendola.

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) is out again this week, missing his fourth game in a row. He practiced during the week, but it looks like Houston isn't ready to play the veteran yet. Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore should be the lead receivers this week, with rookie Nico Collins and veteran Chris Conley factoring in as well. Cooks is the only one you can depend on in season-long leagues, and even he struggled last week as Moore look most of his work.
