Tyron Johnson Fantasy

Houston Texans wide receiver Tyron Johnson caught two passes for a team-high 48 yards in Thursday's preseason loss to the Packers. Johnson has been a favorite for the team's final receiver spot, so Thursday's performance is a good sign for his chances of making the team. With Keke Coutee leaving Thursday's game with a leg injury, there's a chance Johnson could have some deep-league relevance if Coutee has to miss time, though we should wait to hear more on the Coutee injury before rushing out to pick up Johnson.

The Houston Texans currently have a two-way battle going for the reserve outside wide receiver spot between Vyncint Smith and Tyron Johnson, with both players impressing the coaching staff during training camp. Head coach Bill O'Brien went as far as suggesting that six receivers could make the team as a way of keeping both guys. Whoever wins the role will have a chance to contribute should any injuries occur, but whichever player that is isn't in a position to have redraft value at this point.
