If Owen Daniels is out in Week 10, Joel Dreessen would have some sleeper appeal.

There were a fair number of fantasy disappointments in the — what we on the West Coast call — the 10 a.m. games. And a number of them are now on ‘the list.’

The Texans are running the ball against the Chargers at almost a two-to-one clip of rushes to passes. And then to add insult to no statistics, Texans QB Matt Schaub goes looking for RB Arian Foster in the red zone.

Texans WR Andre Johnson missed practice on Wednesday, but he is not expected to miss any time against the Chargers in Week 9 according to coach Gary Kubiak.

The Titans feel like they have ‘dodged a bullet’ with Vince Young, but the young quarterback is day-to-day with a knee injury.

Chargers coach Norv Turner is optimistic about the status of injured TE Antonio Gates, but less so about WR Malcom Floyd.

Texans WR Andre Johnson (ankle) is probable against the Chiefs, but Jacoby Jones (questionable) is ailing and listed as questionable.

Giants WR Hakeem Nicks is punishing the Texans right now, scoring two touchdowns — and how about a better effort on what could have been another touchdown — and putting up a ton a fantasy points. And if you started him, you are ecstatic.

Finally, some good news. NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora is reporting that Texans WR Andre Johnson and Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw are expected to play on Sunday according to sources. Which is good because many are predicting a shootout in this one.

Andre Johnson will be a game-time decision for fantasy owners this week.

A couple of injury notes to pass along from the Raiders and Texans matchup in Oakland.

Texans Pro Bowl WR Andre Johnson will not play Sunday against the Raiders because of an ankle injury that kept him out of practice during the week.

Texans WR Andre Johnson missed his second consecutive practice with an ankle injury and is officially listed as questionable against the Raiders this week. But this has an added bonus with a matchup against Nnamdi Asomugha and the caveat that this is a 1 p.m. game in Oakland, which means you will either have to sit or get off the pot before all of the early games even start.

Athletes always contend that toe injuries are some of the most painful ailments to overcome. And while it’s not a sexy appendage to brag about injuring — notice Keanu Reeves never talks glowingly about injuring his toe during his inspirational speech to his teammates during The Replacements — this can be extremely troublesome for the fantasy enthusiasts.

With a number of big-name players facing injuries this week, here’s a one-stop shop for the latest updates as the news cycle comes to a close on Thursday.
