Andre Johnson primed for huge role with Colts
Big things expected from former Texan

| The Houston Texans were pretty direct with Andre Johnson before parting ways with their all-time great. They wanted him to accept a lesser role, crazy as that might sound for a receiver with seven 1,000-yard seasons. But after watching just a single practice in Indianapolis, it's clear the Colts do not share that opinion. Johnson is not only getting the starter's treatment, he's also showing himself capable of playing a variety of roles. Johnson was featured extensively in the slot on Wednesday, a spot that gives the Colts numerous options in the routes he can run. Johnson showed himself adept at working between the hash marks, and that's an area where the Colts could use some help. (Indianapolis Star)
FFToday's Take: Andrew Luck is by far the best quarterback Johnson has played with in his career, while the threat of T.Y. Hilton and Phillip Dorsett going deep should be enough to open things up underneath. It should come as no surprise if AJ pushes the 100-catch mark once again and/or tops 10 touchdowns for the first time in his career.
